However, Fungal Growth is not Storm or EMP. It dealt relatively low damage in exchange for crowd control and positioning. In that sense the insta-cast nature was essential since FG was most effective against mobile units (bioball with stim, medivac drops, banshees, blink stalkers, lings with speed, banelings with speed, etc.). You use FG to set up Baneling pushes, get surrounds on the Protoss army, prevent drops from occurring. Now we have a FG with 9 DPS and +10.8 against armored, and the very units one would want to use FG against can dodge it with relative ease. The bias towards the Infestor is positively palpable. I agree. Everyone was used to the CC aspect of FG. It was the only way Zerg had to try to get into a position. Toss had FF to make them in the best position instantly and Terran had stim to bail when needed. Positioning was the hardest thing to deal with as Zerg and its also the easiest way to lose your entire fragile army. Making the FG a projectile is as huge of a nerf as if they make FFs a projectile with that kinda delay. IMHO. Maybe the increased DPS will help kill marines. I'm just a top diamond player but I find it almost impossible to kill marines OFF creep. Now on creep they melt but off creep they stim and kite pretty much every unit you can make, which is why the instant cast and the duration stun was so huge. I'd have to try it out because if it gives you a way to kill marines off creep I'm in. Otherwise with the infested terran is not worth it at all and parasite was OP now its almost useless because of the duration being so short and you have to research it and colo and tanks out range the infestor. I don't see many infestors getting made anytime soon and I dislike changing the role from a CC type caster to a weak version of storm/stun mix. | ||

Why would you warp in templars to handle a drop when Zealots with charge will do. ???? what? the EMP is for the HTs that are being warped in to storm. Good control of the medivac means that you pull back if there are stalkers waiting, otherwise no way to snipe with stalkers except by a huge amount (like most of their stalker army) and even then its hard to do it without blink unless you move in the wrong direction. Chargelots cant do anything against stimmed MM healed by a medivac in a tight ball behind a mineral line =/ | ||

Damn the missile really looks to be too slow, its all fine and good - that it requires some micro skill to use the ability. But infesters were actualy quite hard to use in the first place, just see how few pro's use them. Hopefully they will buff the missile speed, but lets see how it works. Im kinda excited to see which changes makes the next patch and how it will affect the game, at least they are trying SOMETHING  | ||

I doubt we'll ever see zergs waste gas on infestors after this goes live. Tons of gas for the "chance" to fungal units, relying completely on the opposing player's lack of micro. Apparently Blizzard thinks that the entire zerg army's chance of success should be based off of the other players mistakes, or lack of mistakes. Absolutely ridiculous. Blizzard is well on their way to nerfing this game into a 1-strategy-per-race borefest. They are going to kill SC2 as a spectator sport. | ||

Ill answer, they cant, MMM RAPES gatewayunits. How is that fair, that the toss will autoloose if the terran gets off 2 good emps. Im myself a lower master league player, and lets face it, the good terran will hit with thoose emps, and to make sure, they will have 5 ghosts, cause if templars gets hit its GG. Collosus is now the "safe" choice, cause you will not instaloose if you get hit by 2 good emps, which is why we wont see templars now. This is the worst change,,,,,,,,,ever,,, by far. | ||

That's how T and Z deal with drops. Can't believe P whines about drop play, lol. | ||

So you were just arguing for the sake of arguing. Because there was NO argument for or against HT nerfs/Amulet in that whole conversation. The guy asked an honest question and I responded. Sigh. what has TL become. | ||

Hell, they could have done something else to zerg, like...I dunno, Made the crackling upgrade actually USEFUL? Buff the ultralisk (Without any nerfs whatsoever) reduce the time it takes to morph a greater spire? It just seems like theres so many other places blizzard needs to change zerg that its frustrating that they decide to nerf a unit into the ground like this. Absolute nonsense. | ||

Marauders just rape gateway units and you know that. | ||

What a joke video; as if any competent zerg would field only infestors against MMM. You might as well make a video of 5 ghosts vs a Stalker Collosus ball and QQ about how useless EMP is. What I would like to see is a proper diamond/masters zerg replay before making judgments about how nerfed/buffed infestors have become. | ||
