They should not be able to do so much damage by them selves, but instead synergize with other units. 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. I don't think going from 30 to 0 damage would be an appropriate nerf | ||

I disagree. Muta ling is still perfectly viable vs terran, as is vs toss, and is skill reliant and is more fun to watch and is good overall. Buffing any other zerg unit is madness, as if zerg is not strong enough already. Blizzard should not buff any unit of zerg, they already unnecessarily buffed queen range and overlord speed, which is a huge mistake queens serve as a macro mechanic, scouting tool, healing aid, anti air, they should not be able to fend off heavy harass. Overlords should be slow so misplacement can be punished more easily. Now the entire map is covered by overlords on ledges and highgrounds so zerg, which is the race with the biggest map presence and vision cause of creep, overlords and overseers, can see the whole map and see your unit composition and when you move out or flank. So no, buffing anything of zerg in place of a nerf of infestor would be a huge mistake, same as the one that buffed the queen in a month where DRG won GSL and same as nerfing ghost snipe cause of a single game used by a single player, in a single matchup. Infestors, that are used by every zerg in every matchup, are not nerfed for 6 months. The only possible course of action is to nerf them severely and let zerg explore their other options. Then we will have interesting games, and zergs will actually start improving and not only being carried by the blatant imbalance that is infestor. | ||

Remember when the Blue Flame icon was buffed? MLG Anaheim happened. Now Zergs will be encouraged to go mass Infestor so that they can get the casters to scream mass PLAGUUUU. | ||

Terrans can use Ghosts again late game, and Protoss can blink stalker now without getting instant fungalled. Either that or add energy cost for infested terran to 50 and make fungal cost 100. | ||

There where 3 possible nerfs that could have balanced TvZ : - Added range on roach - Nitro pack tech delayed until factory - Added range on queen One of those nerf would have changed the match up and made reaper still an option but not an overpowered one. They ended up applying all the nerfs instead of picking one, and nerfed the reaper to the state we know now. Please Blizzard, don't repeat past mistakes Edit ; true about the queen range, but they didn't change the reaper in response, sometime they seem to forget about some unit | ||
