I think I came up with a good idea. I think it's worthy of a poll.

How is that design and not balance? Also you seem to misread my posts on purpose. I've never said they should be prettier. I said there should be balance in all phases of the game. | ||

Also the idea of them not benefitting from upgrades is good. OR they could still benefit from upgrades but just have reduced damage/armor. | ||

Remember, there are quite a few cool usages of the ITs which we DONT wanna touch. Some being: - Using a few IT eggs as an initiator in battle against siege tanks. Also to a lessee extent against colossi to make colossi attack lone ITs instead of your core army. Thats cool. - Using IT eggs to make siege tanks splash and kill themselves. Thats cool. - Submarine infestor harass. Either fungaling a mineral line or spawning a bunch of ITs behind it. Thats also cool. A change to ITs shouldnt nerf any of the above. But it should nerf these: - Attacking a defensively setup opponent with an army of 75% ITs and 25% "real" units. - Repeated spawning of 30 (or whatever) ITs in front of your BL/infestor army as protection. Then just do it again next battle because you have 20+ infestors with almost unlimited amount of energy (= unlimited ITs). These two are not really cool. In short, ITs should be possible to add as an addition to your real army. And as harassing units. But it should never replace real units. Best way to achieve that without fucking with the cool usages of ITs is imo to make ITs die easier. POssible solutions: - Damage taken on eggs count towads IT HP. - Reduce/remove damage reduction on eggs, making it more viable to kill eggs as they are being spawned. Either of these, or both, would make the IT spam in battle much less effective, while still not really changing all the cool usages of it. | ||

they are the only really cool thing about the infestors. spawning mass eggs on siege lines or in minerals so the tanks shoot the eggs is just a very nice mechanic. they are not imba because you can run away and they don't live very long. the problem is just the root from fungal. and it's a big problem because of how demolishing it can be to small mistakes. it doesn't really reward good skillful play by the zerg, it just punishes a slight mistake by the opponent. balance aside, it's just a bad mechanic. | ||

2. FG must only slow units by 100% 75% 50% 25% every next second. 3. FG must affect friendly units (storm like) 4. NP must not affect Air (indisputable) 5. IT must cost 50 energy 6. IT can not be spawned while burrowed. 7. Burrowed move must be researched. | ||
