EPTIt amazes me how everyone is picking on the infestors when every single other spellcaster is just as "OP". It feels like everyone will only be happy if no spellcasters exsisted and was purely a kiting game.

If you have criticism, you need to address the content, not the hosts. Idra and Artosis are 2 (1.5) Zerg players, but you can't point that out and then blanket them as biased. Respond to the content. You can't tell them to "get 2 Terran and Protoss players". That's fucking obtuse advice. "Yo just get 4 more high level players to record with you." Yes, I think everyone sees the value in getting it, but it's not practical. Respond to the content and use evidence / logic to back up your claims. | ||

But hey, they could simply do it at the new team house and invite Huk and Puma to get another Protoss and Terran opinion. :p | ||

Dark Swarm- counters ranged units (eg the Terran race). Creates a cloud as large as a mothership that reduces all ranged dps to 0 against units in the cloud. Think of guardian shield that reduced all damage to 0. Plague- aoe twice the size of fungal, reduced basically every units hp to 1, including huge flying spacecraft. Consume - allows the defiler to have infinite energy. EMP defiler? Trololololololololol. | ||

On paper, that unit would be the most imbalanced unit ever conceived. Think about it: Dark Swarm- counters ranged units (eg the Terran race).

Remember that BW actually requires you to have some skill/apm to use the spells properly | ||

Every caster was stronger in BW, due to the mechanics of the game being different (ie no smartcast, small control groups, difficulty teching, etc). Defiler was strong, but difficult to use properly and tech to. The same went for science vessels, arbiters and templar, etc. all of which are stronger than their sc2 counterparts due to the way the mechanics changed. | ||

It also didn't have retarded clumping that made 100 supply of units get hit by 1 AOE spell (except storm which has smaller radius and only hits 80 supply of units lol). | ||

I mean, in the past few months zerg play has evolved and infestors have been a big part in that. Terran and Protoss are still doing the exact same builds. They make a few ghosts/templars late game to counter Infestors and complain imba when their 3 or 4 spell casters can't counter your 20 infestors. | ||

It will just spawn even more balance whine both here and on other forums. Dude, everything spawns a balance whine. Slayers massing hellions at MLG, Incontrol making a remark in passing, the IEM, someone just losing his first game on ladder to something new. That's not a good reason not to try and talk about the issue. A lot of people have really stupid opinions, or maybe half-formed, rudimentary opinions on why something is imbalanced, and they rarely make an effort to try and understand why exactly they feel this way. It stays at the "lol i hate X" level rather than "I hate dealing with X because I'm not good at doing Y in response", which just stops them from progressing as a player. | ||
