you can shift then hold in z and click around. its as many clicks as you need zealots its just done with the mouse hand and not the keyboard hand

Right, but the amount of clicks is equal to the amount of button presses you'd need for zerg. z+10 clicks is 10 zealots, for zerg it's just 10 clicks on z...

If you don't like phoenixes, build a corruptor or two. You can always morph them into brood lords if they survive into the late game, and until then they are good versus colossi.

I will explain it because you are the one not getting it. Imagine 5 raxes with a reactor on each. To make 10 marines you need to click 10x on A. That's how it works. T and P need to click for EVERY unit, just like zerg does. What's your point?

lol can you not see the problem of forcing zergs to go muta's with no other options? You do see the problem dont' you? No you probably don't so I well explain.

Right now zergs can fight drops with infestors or muta's (or both if they prefer). Now with this patch they only have muta's which as the game goes later and later and when your playing a good terran your muta's won't get as effective unless the terran lets you take 8 bases or something.

So the only option zerg can do is muta's or lose to drop play every game. Now do you see the problem? I doubt it but Jinro even thinks this is a dumb change as it now forces every zvt to be muta heavy or might is well gg when you start playing otherwise as a good zerg (not you) well actually abuse drop ships especially if the zerg doesn't have mutalisk out (and hydra are a joke zvt).

Can YOU not see the problem of infestors making drop harrassment 100% suicide runs? They are not removing infestors from the game. You can still do the same infestor turtle style, it's just that with this fungal growth change, now the Terran can decide to run the drop if it's going to be stopped, able to save his units.

How it is now...once you decide to send in the dropship, once it's in fungal range, the drop is 100% dead.

So this change doesn't change infestor's ability to stop drops AFTER the cargo is unloaded, but now it's not a forgone conclusion that Terran loses 100% of the drop cargo + the dropship.

You're naive if you think Terrans don't already abuse drops as much as possible versus Zerg. That's the entire point of the change related to TvZ. Zerg do not get free dropship kills, and it's not so much of a purposely having to "play bad" as T to do damage to Z.

Because every Terran right now knows if you fly dropships into Zerg territory and there's an infestor there, your drop is never going to go back home.

The same obviously goes for PvZ where one fungal means protoss loses a huge chunk of their air. So it's a great change for the game. Obviously, Zergs in the strong position they are in right now will not agree.

to build zealots it is mouse clicks, not clicks of z

Regarding that pic I'm a bit confused about the ladder wipe situation - I'm guessing it will come once Patch 1.2 is officially released, but if your MMR is preserved, will that mean you end up playing diamond (or now higher) level quality players in your placements immediately?

Infestor change won't affect drops any. You cast fungal growth on the units, they never get to load back into the dropships. Yay, dead units. But the medivac survives to fight again! oh no!
