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


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
broodlords/ultra or w/e later on

now you just need to work on ur mechanic and u're all set


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


Gonna work on your turtling mechanic Fayth.

Welp, ZvTmech is going to be completely annoying. ZvP the only thing that makes it more difficult is the collosi. We can still neural archons in the front line just fine, I suppose. Though...Now we can't grab a collosi, and if we do...The infestor is guarenteed to die to focus fire. A shame =/. At least we get a collosi for a whole 2 seconds ^^ SWEET!

Wonderful complain, really shows why you are a "top" protoss player.

They nerfed it 1 range too much I think (without seeing it in action or anything, so yeah, I have a lot to base my statement on...)

Also lol @ the Goody buff

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.


In the majority of scenarios I can think of, your Infestors will outnumber the units they are trying to infest. If your opponent has more Colossus or Thors than you have Infestors, you should absolutely lose the game outright.

Given the other buff to NP present in the patch (getting attack upgrades), this makes Neural Parasite a much more interesting spell to watch, with both higher risk and higher reward than before.

I just don't see why a reduction is needed for any situation except Collosi. NP combined with fungal was borderline OP, but they are already reducing fungal's damage and the range change is going to affect ZvT where I don't think anyone is saying T needs a buff.

Colossus with range upgrade is 9. Good luck getting of an NP on those.

Mass thor is damn near unbeatable zvt as it is, so good thing T got an even bigger buff.

I think this is a good change. Should help with the infestor/ling countering... everything a protoss makes issue; but still allow for reasonable thor NP and will still be very good vs archons.

Infestors will still be the go-to unit for ZvP.

IMO they should have reduced the range of all of the Infestor's spells.

if you nerf the infestor to hard, Z will have huge problems in both non mirror matchups. In fact, even with the 'op' infestors Terra seems to have a edge on Zerg at top level

what blizz is trying to do is, you gotta play smarter with your infestors if you want to neural parasite. just like how protoss are now using warp prisms to keep HT safe from emps, zergs will prob have to do something similar.

You are a genius my friend, we should pick up infestor when they neural something so it won't neural and give protoss free win. Splendid!

do you know who you're talking to?

like seriously...

it's just as stupid as idra saying morrow would suck with zerg when he played terran and morrow proved him wrong

zerg is not harder to play than protoss, it's just different
