I don't understand why they would remove the hp buff of infestor.
Atleast, make them not armored. ._.

imo huge infestor buff

now it is much more difficult for medivacs to outheal fungal.

I think the missile idea was cool because it allowed for some guesswork as to if the terran would advance into a fungal, which could have been a plus or minus, but to be honest zerg already has enough apm and micromanagement to worry about, so im happy it was changed.

Furthermore, now infestors can much more easily 2-shot workers in a mineral line with fungal because they can refungal after like 1.25 seconds instead of around 3, which gives enemies less time to react

FUNGAL WILL NOW ONE SHOT ZEGRLINGS >>> (kind of big imo), plenty of overkill roach infestor hydra vs muta ling bling.

It will be harder to kill mutas with hydra infestor, or with fungal + infested terrans.

i think its a really nice buff to be honest.

ok this now gets a huge buff for infestors

who watched lalush vs. Sjow right now will see how great Infestor Muta will work together with the increased DPS on marines.

no need for banelings 8D


Banelings are largely useless vs marine/tank. This change is great cause zerg really needs a way to deal (reliable) splash dmg to marineballs since nothing they currently have is effective enough, and especially not when factoring in the costs. The current fungal growth is a joke and easily outhealed by medivacs. It is nice for the cc though, but it's simply not enough most of the times.

ZERG

Infestor

Health increased from 90 to 110. -- This change has been revoked.

Fungal Growth

Stun duration decreased from 8 to 4 seconds.

Damage increased by +30% vs. armored units.

Now fires a missle instead of being instant cast.
-- This change has been revoked.



Thank God!!!

I think their goal originally was that Fungal would not counter Phoenixes and Mutas so badly. But then they found out it would become totally useless against them AND against other stuff (Hellions, Blink Stalkers etc.)

Infestors might force some Templars and Ghosts to deal with them now. Nice.

I'm pretty bummed that they reverted the Fungal missile. It made "nice fungals" actually mean something.

Not great for spectating, but probably better for balance.

Getting rid of the Fungal missile is a HUGE buff for zergs. If they kept it as a missile all terrans needed to do is make a raven and put down a PDD in front of your infestors and you can't use fungal anymore.

Also, wtf is with them getting rid of the HP??? If you give them 90 HP you need to take away their "armoured" status. That's the most retarded thing ever.

Except PDD doesn't stop spells and thus wouldn't stop fungal growth anyway. Stop making comments that are completely wrong.

aww the missile shot would have been so nice to watch, because it would make infestors harder to use, but it was probably to hard heh.

The missile version of fungal growth makes it too volatile vs terrans, just like banelings which are the biggest hit or miss units in the game.

Well then it must have been a bug b/c I stopped a few fungals with PDD.

They need to make marauder slow work only on armored units.

The EMP change seems like a good step toward balancing it against amulet-less storms, but I don't think it will make much difference in most situations. Once Terran get 2-3 full energy ghosts, they can usually spam EMP so much that they end up hitting everything several times over anyway.

Awesome change. Fungals do so much more damage to protoss now I don't think people realize how many of tosses units are armored.

Well it worked on fungal in the PTR. I tested it out with a friend and it worked. So it just must have been a bug. I honestly never tried it on EMP so I never knew it didn't work on spells, which is why I never thought to report it. I guess that's maybe why they took out the change?

So has anyone realized that Fungal Growth, with +30% mechanical damage, now 1 shots scvs? It does 36+30%, so 46.8 damage, while an SCV has 45 health. Pretty awesome.

On the PTR I have tried using Infestors as much as possible (favorite unit) and I really think they will be worthy of use against Protoss in almost every scenario. The amount of damage they do in such a short period of time against armored units is significant enough, that with either lings/blings or roach/hydra, you will kill very quickly. I think that because they are so heavy, we will see a pretty large shift to more ling play.
