Likely similar for the Void Ray change last patch, where a pro player (Maka iirc) gave them feedback as to a particular abusive strategy that was too strong, so they nerfed it. | ||

Anyone think it'll be possible to integrate custom chat channels with ones in WoW? I'm thinking no, but it'll be cool. | ||

If that's the case why can't they just instead make it so: - Void Rays are now immune to movement-impairing effects. (which is only fungal growth) | ||

There will be a reason for non-pro's to idle on starcraft 2, instead of playing 2 games and logging off. | ||

Its not gamebreaking and helps save your fingers when you need to morph 30-40 lings into banelings... oh blizzard. I don't think this will affect morphing lings into blings since they said larva. however i do disagree with this change. | ||

Wtf that was a bug? If you were playing Zerg and had 30 larvae, and you want to make 30 batches of lings, you could hold Z and it'd make the 30 relatively fast after like a 2 second delay. Why is that possibly a bug, or am I reading this correctly? Love the changes, with the exception of the bunker change, and I'm also skeptical on the Infestor FG change. Wouldn't that make it much harder to counter Phoenixes? I'd rather see it still work on air units, and work more like ensnare from SC1 (I think ensnare was just overall a better spell, just harder to use, would get great use in SC2, as remember it cut down the fire rates of most units it was cast on. Even if it was only just a slowdown and not stoppage, I'd prefer it that way, just cooler imo... at least they could still split from banes, etc.). | ||

Imagine the following: You are zerg, don't have a spire, kill his base, he isn't defeated, you immediately start a spire, which alone takes 100 seconds, another 37 seconds to get mutas out (100/100 each) and they will probably need to fly for at least 40 seconds to get to his lifted cc AND mutas take forever to kill a cc, so a terran in this situation can force a draw out of most games. Should be more than 3 minute or/and the condition should be that a building is attacked, not destroyed. Interesting situation. My best idea is that you could buy yourself more time by building and destroying an extractor. Fungal Growth no longer affects air units. Yay, every mirror's going to be either an early 1-base allin or mutas vs mutas, terran drops will be even stronger, protoss air is gonna be a nightmare, especially phoenix with their new build time.I also think that fungal growth was overpowered vs large clusters of air units since they bunch up so much. A good implementation would imo be something like: "Hits every ground target in the target circle, but is applied to random 4 (number I think that would be fair) air units in the target circle. " while this does suck, we'll get through it. I mean, my first thought was "OMG this is gonna be a nightmare" too, but thinking about it, I didn't actually use infestors that much before. I got mutas against Terran drops, and hydras (or occasionally corruptors) against Protoss air. | ||
