your new version makes more sense to me for the shells front edge's part, but I'm still not entirely sure if the 2 bumps fit well enough. the one on the left looks like it curves the barrel to the left, so if the one on the right does the same, curves to the right, we shouldn't see a bump like that on the right, unless that's where the barrel shape ends, in which case I don't think the bumps should be so similar*. at least that's how I see it. edit: * should be a size difference because of the viewing angle. not because of distance, but because one of them would have more stuff around it creating more silhouette to ruin its shape. | ||

Huge range, big bonus against armored, works well with broodlords (against vikings, zerg has problems seiging terrans even if has huge advantage), probably doesnt attack ground at all. Infestor works fine against colovoidray, and Colossus might well be removed in favour of the Reaver/similar anyway. Oh, and anyone having trouble with colovoidray mixes is either in Platinum or stuck in a time warp 5 months ago. | ||

Would force people to keep moving with their armies and maybe ease up the blob vs blob fights. Depends on how fast the projectile is. If its got a travel time of 4 seconds or under, I can see it being ridiculously imba with infestor support(assuming fungal is unchanged between now and HotS). | ||

As much as I'd like some kind of siege unit to defend terrain (those spine crawler jungles are pretty retarded imho) you make a important point. Anything remotly similar to siegetanks/colossi seems to be extremly OP in combination with Fungal : / | ||

i mean thats how zergs win in the lore right ? infest everyone ? ... this does not reflect in multiplayer, unleast in StarCraft 1 u could infest a terran command center  ,so ... maybe this is just that ... a unit that either moves burrowed or climbs cliffs just as the collosus and when near a building starts spitting goo and in 20 sec that building is yours ... would make proxying stuff a pretty bad idea ... ? | ||

I'm all for this one, but only if the unit shouts "whololooo!". | ||

SUNKEN COLONY -> SPINE CRAWLER. Below ground penis, above ground penis. LURKER --> NEW ZERG UNIT?. Probably not much different in terms of play. | ||

 Also, for the record, I always thought Starship Troopers Anti-Air bugs shot it out of their ass... something wholly different than spit taking out those pesky air units. Literally, a shitstorm | ||
