i agree!! they should tottaly reward creep spreading less!
I also love people comparing infestor to raven, like your whole army consists only of those two.

reducing tumor vision range to address midgame creep spread is actually pretty smart, imo.. and Ravens will still get caught by a lot of fungals, so it's a minor positive change that probably won't end up doing too much.

Yes everyone has to micro. If you didn't the game would be boring. You are basically saying that you have all the tools to get the job done, you just need practice.

No, I'm telling you that no human being is capable of using those kinds of 'theoretical possibilities' to their full extent. It's the same thing as, Banelings in theory can only trade 2:1 against Marines, but in reality no one has constant perfect splits.

someone has to find a way to get and use the carrier against BL Infestor without dying , maybe if they let the interceptors attack things while kiting with it ...

this way we should get less BL festor vs archon toilet nonsense.

i just thought of an amazing idea to "nerf" zerg but not do it too badly

reduce the collision size of broodlings to zero, thus allowing them to infinitely stack onto eachother and allowing units to walk through them

would nerf broodlings a hell vs alot to aoe once theres 20 broodlords showering tons of broodlings they would now stack on eachother and die to 1shot of a hellion or tank

As a zerg, I think this will help zvt balance but I hope blizzard isn't underestimating the importance of a few early game creep tumors to hold off all ins in zvp. Guess thats something to test.

I don't think it will be that big of a deal, honestly. But yeah, 2 base all-ins are retarded. Hopefully if they are stronger Blizzard will notice and decide to make PvZ more interesting and less of a 2base all-in or Archon Toileting reliant matchup.

Zerg needs creep spread to hold off all ins like the sentry immortal. Now zerg ( if the patch goes through) will have less creep against the same timings which makes it harder to hold off.

No one has perfect anything, despite what the casters would like you to believe. If there is a problem with having too many micro options, Blizzard will take some away from you...For now just be glad you have them, other races are not so lucky.

While theyre dealing with creep, imo they should add
>creep recedes faster the further it is from a living tumour/hatchery
I feel like with burrow zergs already have one of the most effective base blocking options, and when it comes to taking later bases if the zerg has the area fully gooped up it takes way too long (imo) to clear.

I don't believe we will. All it would do is force zerg to cut some broodlords for more corruptors. There is actually no other unit composition that can deal with gateway + colossi/templar. There is a reason all games end with broodlords.

Very intelligent suggestion by Blizzard.

The extra early defence for zerg is a very good thing. I wouldn't wanna give up the early game defense cause it makes the game better.

But Terrans, however, were struggling and this is a good way to address what the queen buff has brought into the game

Not really, you should still have the creep vital to holding the all in, it will simply not spread accross the map as quickly.

When your race is favored for a year and a half, you don't need buffs.
