"This is basically an account of everyone who believes it should be changed" Yes, yes it is. That is after all, the point of the thread... It could just be me, but I would think that a thread asking for possible changes to the infestor should be biased towards listing possible changes to the infestor. If you want a thread asking if the infestor should actually be changed, go make a thread asking if the infestor should actually be changed - a completely unbiased and one-dimensional thread, where the only answers are yes/no, with absolutely no discussion. Don't continue reading this thread and complaining since you think it's unfair. | ||

You are free to vote No to every one of these changes. | ||

Make infestors 3 supply and maybe raise IT energy cost. Or completely remove IT and make that units that die to fungal turn into infested units. :p | ||

Nobody even tries to go for anything else these days. Why should they? People are just stuck with the idea "zerg has no anti-air so we need infestors" that they don't even bother trying things out. | ||

- Increase the infested terran energy cost to reasonable amount which would not totally deny late game air play by toss. | ||

I don't think that helps any as it introduces other issues. It starves protoss of gas making them even more dependant on 2 base timings. With low mobility and low firepower/forcefield depandancy they'll die to speedlings or mass muta everytime they try to take a third, thats why the thirds had to be moved silly close in the first place. If the maps aren't huge it may make mineral heavy terran bio over strong vs zerg unbalancing that matchup. When Z I'm usually pretty gas starved as it is vs good bio play. The close thirds are dumb but its how we acheived balance  Big issue is mass infestor endgame gives the best AoE spell in the game plus a potential 300 food army with only energy cost. I think the weak eggs + a food cost for infested terrans should make that go away. But I'd like to see some option to micro against /out of fungal too. | ||

BL/Infestor/corruptor isn't about connecting melee units, but unabling opponent to connect with your Broodlords safely. Melee units don't play a huge role there so you would be doing almost nothing, while nerfing zerg melee on midgame, which imho doesn't need a nerf at all. | ||

What fucks everything up is that these extra free units that doesn't cost anything and super strong vs air and gains upgrades too. | ||

Edit: Or perhaps increase the supply to 3 and give them a little bit more HP. However if fungal is slowed to a root, abilities shouldn't be able to be used either; because blink stalker would make fungal useless in that case. However that might be a problem, because no blink would also mean no stim. But yeahh.. It's complicated. | ||

You are just thinking on PvZ, and not on a optimal lategame situation for the protoss. TvZ fungal plays a big role against vikings, and it's actually quite decent against voidrays and carriers. | ||

I can't believe how many idiotic comments this thread brings up though, unbelievable. Edit: Or perhaps increase the supply to 3 and give them a little bit more HP.

Still damage and the slow would still make them catchable unless they blink really smart. | ||

T loses it's ghosts, P loses templars, Z keep it's infestors ez pz because they move underground like a reactive missle. Ghost's speed isn't reduced while cloaked, while should the infestor's speed be lowered? Burrow=Cloak, basically? | ||
