Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong.
It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully.

Pretty much they are saying that since they have limited skill, they are benefited by the slower infesters. Isn't that bad? A perfect player should be able to manage the faster infesters and should want them as fast as possible.

Am I the only one that thinks you're full of shit when you say that IdrA and Machine have "limited skill"?

A perfect player doesn't exist. The infestor speed being decreased is a buff because they often ran ahead of units in engagements and died either before using any energy, or shortly thereafter. Having them slower allows the Zerg player more time to micro them back in such situations before they run headlong into deadly tank/colossus fire. Making them faster would just make this problem worse. Until someone comes around that has the APM to babysit every single spellcaster they have with perfect precision and keep them behind their army, it's a good thing that their speed is decreased.


IDK I've seen much better infestor use from zergs other than Machine and Idra. The infestor change is a nerf, it's only a buff if you aren't capable of managing your army. In all other situations, infestors retreat slower, advance slower, etc.

Well maybe, but even LosirA has trouble managing them in his army, how "pro" must we be to do it?
It's indeed a slower retreat now, but at least it won't be in the front, so it has some cover.. besides if you fungal right you most likely have plenty of time to retreat. Not to mention, you can fungal and immediatly burrow -.-
