See, this is exactly what I wasn't looking for. You made a completely invalid point, and then you whine about balance. That's not what this is about. | ||

Beyond that I have no issues with the Infestor. At the moment, infested terran usage is still minimal. I have mostly only seen it when killing Vikings that have been fungalled. And although infested marines are better than Marines statistically, in reality medivacs make regular marines vastly more useful and powerful than infested marines. | ||

Definitely not op, but even as a zerg I feel like they shouldn't just freeze the units in place but reduce movement speed instead. I always just kinda found that to be less exciting as the player simply can't do anything once they're frozen. Then again, before the patch zerg was pretty much desperate for whatever they could get, so maybe I should just leave well enough alone :x | ||

You can make a whole bunch of hallucinated colossus vs neural parasite in many situations to prevent your colossi from getting taken. | ||

The vibe I got is that the infestor needs more to survive... well you did forget burrow. Infestors can burrow without any additional upgrade other than burrow unlike the Roach, thats pretty significant. Imo, as a GM since beta whos seen the ups and downs of Infestors, I think the Infestor by itself isn't entirely OP, but the combination of it + other units makes it OP. Any combo of infestor/ultra or infestor/brood is just too cost effective. you go from being zerg and having fewer units than say a Terran or Protoss, and coming out on top. its against what zerg is supposed to be, cost ineffective units with supreme #s. once the zerg has 12-14 infestors it becomes pretty ridiculous. EMP is a great counter, but a Zerg with good micro will simply spread his infestors and avoid losing too much mana. Add in the fact that you need snipes to take out broods, and possibly if the Zerg is a heavy queen user you need to be EMPing them too! | ||

I did this once. Except he was lucky enough to grab 2/4 real ones, and only a single hallucination D:. | ||
