Toss has learned to deal with muta harass, zerg will adapt in time I have no doubt. You have phoenixes, you have blink, you have a ground army that is strong enough to actually charge their front and not immediately die at a chokepoint/walloff. You also don't need to invest minerals and supply to be 20 to 30 workers ahead just to have enough of an army to compete. | ||

My ZvZ will be flipped onto its head. Fungal is so necessary to end muta harass and allow one to move out. You can't properly deal with mutas in ZvZ without fungal; queens and hydras are too slow. The option just seem to be make a ton of spores and hope your opponent doesn't know how to build hatcheries as you will have probably not get any map control back without a massive mistake by your opponent. Here's hoping this ISN'T implemented. Sigh, just as I'm starting to gain a solid hold on ZvZ | ||

A) fungaling large groups of medivacs when engaging MMM ball B) fungaling medivac drops C) going corrupter/broodlord/infestor D) fungaling large groups of banshees/vikings (in rare situations where terran does this) I am very glad that C) is going to come to an end. Currently if zerg does this it forces ridiculous numbers of vikings. Then the subsequent ultra transition runs over terran every time. Allowing terrans to deal with broodlord/corrupter more cost effectively makes a lot of sense. | ||

• The Ultralisk’s arc-shaped damage area is now centered at the front of the Ultralisk instead of at its center. Anybody else think this means ultralisk will be a lot stronger against mass marine? | ||

Its a very elegant way to fix it as well. Although I wonder how the target priority is going to work for melee units on stuff like PF's or bunkers. | ||

Speed void rays were a wonderful option in late game 1v1. I bet the only reason you motherfuckers got rid of it is because some stupid fucking bronze level 2v2 player whined his little heart out on bnet forums about how viod rays are so imba in 2v2 because he doesn't know what vikings, mutas, or blink stalkers are. Fuck this shit. If it gets implemented, I'm officially changing to Zerg. Suck it blizzard. Why would you change? So you can still get raped from shorter phoenix build time and inability to fungal air? Unless your strat is to make a ton of spore colonies and hydras, you're going to be in some trouble. | ||

As a zerg player I think no fungal for air is retarded and wont actually be implemented. | ||

"Fixed an issue where Larva could produce units by holding down hotkeys." Does this mean I have to hit each individual key now? That's silly. I think the Infestor FG nerf is dumb too. | ||

The entire point of fungal was to catch a ball of vikings. Dropships could be countered easily with zerglings or mutas following it. However, how do you counter vikings? They can shoot mutas from full screen, and if mutas get anywhere near, they can fly back over some marines. Watch some of the GSL games where zerg went brood lords, and won because terran left his vikings out over a pit and they got fungaled like 6 times. | ||

What if protoss learned to micro and spread their phoenix out to minimize fungal effect instead? I mean.. what the hell? Other than obvious nice things like chat channels, I'm really not fond of the balancing. I don't get why they changed the void ray either, how was the speed upgrade in need of removal? Bunker build time again, why? No, I don't get it. | ||

I think with the Phoenix buff, they had to nerf VR speed upgrade, because an air force with (after patch, increased amounts of) Phoenix and fast VRs would be way too mobile, so I can understand the need for that. | ||

Possibly means that harvesting units cannot run through enemy units anymore; they fixed the forcefield squease-around too. I hope the infestor change doesn't go through, its just such a poor change, narrowing the builds zerg can do yet again >.> Infestors wouldn't be able to be used against banshees anymore since one of the main concepts of fungal growth is to reveal cloak, wtf blizz. | ||
