2 more range on them too.

I need that someone explain this to me because i dont know how they can get to that idea and actually think that is a good way to fix something (don't even know what are they trying to fix). Zerg has the worst anti-air? Really, you say that with a straight face? Worst anti-air for dealing with harass early-mid game, it's hardly a myth. Wasn't unbalanced in any way either, just the nature of the race. Compare queens to stalkers or marines.

For once Zerg have to deal with a mass of flying units with greater mobility and huge harassment power. Live with it. you want us to put spore EVERY WHERE on the map ? this is not only the worker harras who make that broken Just follow July Zerg and make corruptors. They shut down phoenixes reasonably well, and stop the transition into colossus. In theory a full stack of corruptors can't kill a single phoenix. Speed, y'know. That's what annoys me at least, a good protoss harassing in the midgame had to be aware of infestors, thus actually play carefully when using them. Now he can just run in, kill a few drones and run out without a problem. I mean.. there should be some risk attached to every harassment strategy. Maybe it is the way Phoenix meant to be. I dont know if you played BW or not, but Phoenix is a replacement for Corsair which give Protoss air superiority in early-mid game. Phoenix is a unit designed to make their oppoent annoyed so I dont think you can comment on that :D I get what you're saying, and I'm fine with phoenix being an air superiority unit. In fact I don't really give a damn that it's hard to go air vs. a phoenix user, there's a lot of other ways of killing him then and there should be some answer to mutas other than killing Z before spire tech. It's the no risk free drone harassment that bugs me. But uh, I'm repeating myself now, suppose we can only wait and see. BUT FOR GOD SAKE PEOPLE STOP SAYING SPORE CRAWLERS. PLEASE. (not directed at above quote)
Spore crawlers do work though, you're crazy. Get two, plus the queen, and they're aboslutely fine until you start to get a buttload of phoenixes, which at that point two spores shouldn't work anyways.
I could see spore range being increased by one, however.

I disagree with the fungal growth change and the holding down hotkey for zerg change. Zerg has a lot harder time dealing with air and macroing for zerg is now uneven with terran and protoss. Holding down a key has always been there for any race and ability.
On the other hand, scv changes are good. I'd like to see the bunker change become permanent. Bunkers got nerfed because of reapers. With the lack of reapers, bunkers don't need the extra build time. I'm curious to see what the extreme graphics looks like. Ultra looks great and extreme sounds ridiculous. Void rays had a hard time against massive units and the speed upgrade was op. I really don't see the obs cost coming into play. Most protoss build only 1 obs and having a 25 less gas cost won't really affect it but it's a nice change anyways.

I have a glitch where my patcher stops at 99% and gives me an error. Can anyone help?

ok for the love of god if blizz is going to make fungal not hit air at least buff hydra speed.... or give the same nerf to phy storm one of the 2

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) Really? For Voids? Who in their right mind would waste FG on voids, Hydras deal dmg quick enough to kill them, and Corruptor's and Mutalisks can catch them. just for the record mutalisks suck ass vs voids.
Vs lots of voids yes they do, but in smaller numbers Mutalisks do ok.

Thx in advance. Enemy units will attack SCV or the one they are repairing whoever is closest. For example, before the patch 5 roaches will only attack the Thor, but now they will attack the repairing scvs that in front of the Thor. Thats what I think, not sure though

Who the fuck thought fungal growth not hitting air units was a good idea,? How am I going to hit medivacs then? And then reduce the phoenix build time? Is ZvP imba or something?

I honestly think these are the worst patch changes i've ever seen and we are not going to see anything but protoss dominate for the next month bec zerg is never going to have a reliable scout and even if u scout them u cant react with much considering u only have 6 units to choose from. I don't understand your and other zergs reasoning. Phoenix's deal with Muta harrass, but you forced us to make Phoenix's. Why are you avoiding Corruptors? We had to make Phoenix, but you don't have to make Corruptor like us? That's what I don't understand. You're completely avoiding the real strategy and trying to make it look like it's worse for you than it actually is.
first off, noone forces a toss to go phoenix. the toss does whatever the fuck he wants and the zerg needs to react. we avoid corruptors because they cant hit ground. at least phoenix can lift ground units and hit them. i agree hes exaggerating as many players do and just QQing hydras are not THAT bad. but i think your making it overly simple by just saying "build corrupters dummy"

That fungal growth change... What the heck... It was the most consistent way to prevent drops.

As a toss player I can actually see where zerg is coming from. Phoenixes are at least useful once the zerg stops making mutas. They can abuse workers, kill overlords, and absorb damgae for collossus. Corruptors on the other hand really can't do to much except countering collossus and becoming brood lords late game. If I played zerg I would be mad too. But I'm not so whatever 
And Idra said it earlier, but now ZvZ is really going to suck even more.

Wich unit can run away, and so doesnt have to fight?? Wich unit gets totaly useless except against air/collosi Wich unit can harras the others player supply? Wich unit can be used to harras production/income?
Now you know how i feel

Maybe Fungal Growth still does damage & detects cloaked units to flying units but doesn't slow them down?
That would actually make sense, and not ruin ZvZ.
Drops have been nerfed enough, slower medivac + nobody uses warp prism/overlord.

...no fungal on air units i'm scared =( don't know how the bunker change will effect tvz as well

It was bad when it was all about bling wars but the matchup is actually getting quite interesting. Oddly enough I started to like it, quite a lot of strategies you can use. This patch changes that however, as you said. Goddamn, mirrors.

wow, fungal nerf is great. Maybe now you won't lose drop cargo 100% of the time in TvZ.
