Oh look, you took neural parasite, made it useless. Then you decided that was too much, so you made it... still useless.

Blizzard, you have serious fundamental flaws in this department. Please, PLEASE look to someone else for your balance ideas. You have no idea what you are doing. You are bumbling around and looking like morons.

Really you think so?, I am not a zerg player. I am a Random player and think this change is shit.... makes NP useless beyond all measure in ZvP matchups

imo they didn't want infestor to counter colossus this easily, but thor is another story, so now same range as thor is basically the same as infestor -> colossus before

they prob fixed it so ZvT wouldn't become a problem

Good to know you don't have to know anything about the game to be on a sponsored team?

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.

That's what I was thinking, too. Was the "NP can't target massive units" ever actually on PTR? Because I got my colossi NP'd in several games during the last week.

Terrans are actually doing amazing right now so they have no reason to complain. If you really think the NP being removed to not use vs massive units was fair will lol.

I personally am thinking NP won't be used much anymore after this patch as you'll never neural a colossi (tosses normally have 2 minimum and infestors are quiet week so focusing the infestor before it gets close to NP will work wonders).

Guess I need to figure out zvp again on what is best yay..

I'll help you out, banelings drops + 5-6 infestors as support + roaches + lings

Neural used to have a short range (6 or 7 if I remember correctly) in the beta. It was buffed to 9 because they couldn't do anything with it, it was completely useless. Colossi with range can kill an infestor before it can reach it, and even if they can't, forcefields + colossus is far too strong. Infestors are going to be dead after this patch. Blizzard should just leave neural alone.

Wow, some people are crazy.

range 8 would have been enough, range 7 and 8 are kind of the same imo. But 9 is to much and 6 is to less . So good choice for something in between. Still blocks most units over 4 supply, but now you have a chance to actually get into the infestor range.
well 7/8 wouldn't change much in pvz imo, but makes mech more viable in tvz. So yay. (the time when you get to neural colossi is the time when the colossi are out of position so even with a range of 7 the stalkers would be mostly out of range, and a feedback won't kill the infestors, since you would throw out some eggs before neuraling as damage sponges )
But with a range of 7 now, thors can actuall move over a range of 5 away from siege tanks, which would enable them to snipe broodlords more easily.

Anyway i suggest more ptring and playing tons of broodlord infestors vs thors tank. And vs colossi . And not cheat by messing up. So we can actually find out if the nerfs are to much

ps: colossi are horrible at sniping infestors x3. 4 colossi sniping 4 infestors is pretty similar to neuraling all 4

lol... Making it sound like I have bad mechanics then yours are as bad as mine don't have to get all mad about my comment.

You should just turtle and make it all useless you just need to work on your mechanics so that you can do it properly and not lose to it

this is better than nothing but they keep reducing the range!!! kinda worthless at that range imo. I mean it will work if you outnumber him so he cannot snipe all your infestors, but then you were probably going to win without them in the first place.

I'm not sure whats worse. It will be near impossible to neural collosus micro'd by someone with even a hint of intelligence, and tanks will becomes a pretty damn good counter to festors. Also won't be able to np mothershits at all :|

You still can't rush to ht to fight 2 base infestor because you won't have storm AND enough ht to deal with the infested terrans but the HT will be a lot stronger in the later stages of the game against infestors.

Well, in the loading tips on blizzard maps, it is clearly said to use NP against tanks & colossus...

My first reaction to this change is that it's still a retarded change to NP. Balance aside, NP makes the game more dynamic. Protoss must not allow their cols to get within range of NP > actively keeping them a step behind the main army (they can still attack from here) + trying to flank the infesters that does the NP. Limiting the range of NP is a easy, safe change from a balance point of view, but it'll probably make the game less dynamic which in turn is bad for the game, overall. The skill cap might have been lowered because of this change, I feel. They should really have had found another way to balance the game out then this, like fungel not holding air in place, NP'ed units can't attack but only move, blink will still function when fungeled, increase energy required - or something like that.

Protoss win, Protoss OP. Terran win, Terran OP. Zerg win, Zerg OP. Less whine, more gg.

It's better than not being able to target massive, but 2 range is pretty harsh. I'd rather them try one range and see how it played out first. NPing colossi or tanks will be hard, and it was already hard. On the other hand it's still good against archons which I always thought was a problem. I'd really rather if they nerfed fungal more and just left NP alone.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

It is also said that corruptors counter collosus and that hydralisks can actually be used to deal with stuff effectively.
Don't believe what tips blizzard gives you.
