SO glad you can still NP massive units. This just means using the ability will be a lot riskier, and good micro can counter it. I say it's a good change, and a MUCH better change than before. Good to hear that Blizzard is listening to our feedback.

Sounds fair to me. Much better than their previous decision anyways, and you really should take what you can get from Blizzard.

I think he means np'ing immortals when range colo are on the field. Good luck holding on to that immortal while colosi have 2 range over neural.. I think neural is going to have a completely different role.. if any role at all.

Hell, Colossi and the old NP both are 9 range, but people still NP Colossi...

Good change, not being able to NP massive was just dumb. but with 9 range it was kinda op.

Let's not bash Blizz too easily, they're trying to fix infestors by a lateral approach : remember beta when mass sentries strat were popular and everyone asked for nerfing FF ? They nerfed sentries' DPS and mass sentries disappeared (I know 6 or 5 gates timings could be called mass sentries, but it is not a valid late-game composition).
The problem of the infestor is it's so good all-around, in any situation, in any match-up, I don't know is changing neural will be enough, but they understood quite well the infestor situation I think.

Blizzard almost seems to respond to zerg QQ...are Terrans not QQing enough about the barracks nerf?

We thank those of you who participated in the 1.4 PTR and appreciate your feedback regarding changes to the Infestor unit.

Funny thing is, the feedback responsible for this change hasn't been from people who played in the PTR.

Is this the new strategy of blizzard? Make an absolutely ridiculous change and then make it slightly less stupid so people buy it? I am disappoint.

Eh, I guess this is better than the originally proposed nerf. Still doesn't change what I dislike so much about the Infestor.

Still wtb "Fungal no longer snares massive units" :'/
