I read this as the reason the infestor has been this way for so long: blizz wanted a static metagame(not dynamic in the sense of balance) for their big wcs or bwc. So yes if pros continue to sux at dealing with infestors, this is nerf time | ||

More DPS than Marines (no stimpack) 3. Eggs have double HP with 2 armor (more tanking) 4. When the eggs don't die, the units spawn with full HP anyway. BTW, if the projectile will be the same as the video posted, it is still way too fast to dodge by most units. I can only think of Blink-stalkers dodging that, or the Zerg player missing inherently fast units like speedlings, mutas, or phoenixes only. I mean 1 and 2 are one time upgrades that marines WILL have so the comparison and moot, and 3 and 4 are equivalent to banelings morphing, or archons(fact check me anyone? I think im right about them spawning with ful hp, not the armor part) | ||

That way they are still strong if the player is caught off guard, but not as good for taking damage, and storms / tank fire over infested eggs pretty much deals with it | ||

If zerg is winning too much, look at the map pools being used and consider making some changes, or making new maps. Put in some maps which were biased against zerg to even it up. In many years of unpatched Broodwar, the racial balance was changed regularly through maps, maybe people should start thinking about doing that now, rather than just complaining. That's something I'm missing so much from BW. It doesn't even have anything to do with the game it's just a matter of approach. | ||

He said "possibly nerf fungal". Root -> slow is definitely a nerf, they even have mentioned that changing it to slow is an option in a different post. | ||

i.e. imagine fungal that did no damage (maybe had a larger aoe to compensate). it wouldn't do anything by itself but would be great if used correctly with banelings, ultras, and any high range units. It might not address infestor broodlord compositions directly but might nerf the infestor centric mid game that lets zergs get to such high broodlord/infestor numbers in the late game. | ||

Eactly this... which goes to the next point: Zerg, as P, are badly designed. Infestor was made OP to "cover" the design mistakes blizz made with Zerg. Now it comes back to bite them in the butt. | ||
