Medivacs are tier 3.  Tier 1 Barracks Tier 2 Factory Tier 3 Starport Are you trolling ? Using your logic, Broodlords are tier 5.5. Tier 1 Spawning Pool Tier 2 Lair Tier 3 Infested Pit + Spire Tier 4 Hive Tier 5 Greater Spire Tier 5.5 Morph to Broodlord | ||

Also: Tier 1 Pylon Tier 2 Gateway Tier 3 Twilight Council Tier 4 Templar Archives Tier 5 Psi Storm Tier 9001 Khaydarin Amulet. Is what people seem to think of High Templars :\ | ||

If it was production and Starport was tier 3, then medivacs and vikings are tier 3? Same tier as a Thor? Sounds a bit silly. (imo HT are tier 2) | ||

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 -- This change has been revoked.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 missile instead of being instant cast. -- This change has been revoked. | ||

Missle was the BEST proposed fungal change. That's really strange reasoning. I'm glad it's back to instant cast, though, because whether FG hits units or not shouldn't be a crap shoot every time. Zerg already has enough disadvantages that if I deem infestors necessary in a game, I want them to do their job. | ||

I'm not the biggest WCIII fan, but I think that's where the "tiers" come from. For example, your first town hall was tier 1, upgrading to the next incarnation was tier 2, and the final incarnation was tier 3. It worked not unlike hatch -> lair -> hive, except I think all four races shared the mechanic. In SC2, the races have a bit less in common so I think the "tier" idea doesn't work as clear cut. I akin "tier 1, 2, & 3" to "early, mid, and late game" units. So tier 1 for Zerg is lings, blings, and roaches. Tier 2 is mutas, hydras, infestors, and corruptors. Tier 3 of course is ultras and broodlords. I really don't think the idea of taking every single step into getting a unit as a new tier to be very useful when discussing unit power/roles. Just to show how ridiculous that is, you'd have to say broodlords are tier 8 (pool -> lair -> infestation pit -> hive -> spire -> greater spire -> corruptor -> broodlord). | ||

"Top 8 in Platinum" I'm guessing they might have em for the other leagues too. "End a season in the Top 8 of a Platinum League Ladder" | ||

Check this out, I havent seen this myself, but I read on the battle.net ptr forums: Morphing into BroodLord only cost 50 gas now?? good for Zerg but as a honest zerg player, i do report this... Also Morphing into Overseer cost -50 minerals and 100 gas which means we GAIN money for morphing into overseers xD NICE!!!!! BUFFF!!! If it is true, this is very very sloppy  | ||

Just to show how ridiculous that is, you'd have to say broodlords are tier 8 (pool -> lair -> infestation pit -> hive -> spire -> greater spire -> corruptor -> broodlord). First of all, WC3 doesn't work that way. It does for the Humans, but even that is a carry over from WC2 (where it worked that way for both sides, since they were nearly identical). Second, there is no consistent metric for the three races as far as Tiers go. The Zerg do have a Tier system, but if you total up the time and money investment necessary to get the tech for a Zerg Tier 3 unit, it is greater than the time and money investment for any unit from any other race. Just do the math: Pool+Lair+Infestation Pit+Hive+Greater Spire build time is longer than any sequence in the game (the spire's build time is hidden by the Infestation Pit+Hive, since they can be built concurrently). Same goes for the Ultralisk Cavern. Compare that to the build time for Terrans: Barracks+Factory+Starport+Fusion Core. Less time and cost compared to the Zerg. And of course, for Protoss, their tech tree splits. Carriers, Colossi, and Templar all take approximately the same tech. The difference being that you didn't go down the other route. The tech switching time increases. In short, you cannot legitimately compare "tiers" from one race to another. | ||

I don't think it'll do much to Ghosts' EMP besides make enemy casters retain some potential after the initial charlie-foxtrot EMP. Assuming one... I mean who does a ghost build with just one ghost?  haha | ||

The fungal growth has not been changed since the last PTR that's strange (still fires a missle, infestor still has 110 health) | ||
