I think we absolutely need to make fungal harder to use. Zerg units in general aren't micro intensive enough.

When he was a kid he used to blow up piles of rocks with TNT for fun. One Christmas he got a video camera as a gift and he used it to record his rock destruction, then he'd watch the tape while eating his dinner. Sometimes he'd play it back in slow motion.

Wait what? You want HTs to deal with Ghosts...? That would screw up viking > colossi, HT > viking, ghost > HT, Colossi > Ghost

If they do it right it would be viking > colossi, HT > viking, ghost = HT, Colossi > Ghost, in theory at least. Changing feedback would have a bigger impact on mech/sky terran, I feel its definitely worth changing in a PTR or even hots.


That's not a complete rock paper scissors then... What's the counter to HT?

Ghosts, the player that better controls his ghosts/High templar will win the micro war, clump all your ghosts/Ht and they get beaten by storm and Colossi/ emp. However spread out like any pro will do will result in the better controlled caster beating the other caster unit.

It's honestly amazing how the infestor is suddenly Overpowered when zergs start winning and the infestor spell has been this way for months. But now all of a sudden it is a problem.

Why is it amazing, the spell before was never used except by destiny and a few other players, people complained they were bad etc etc, then people realise how fking good infestors really are, and zergs start turning infestors into 90% of their army supply

Infestors like HT's and Ghosts are support/casters, and should not make up the bulk of an army like they currently do, if a protoss or terran made casters in the ratios zergs do, they wouldn't be winning very much

just incase ,this is not me balance whining this is just stating my view on how they should be balanced compared to other casters

There's nothing amazing about it, the queen buff gave way for a much stable early game which allowed zergs to get better economies and more infestors. You just have to realize that the infestor doesn't exist in a vacuum and changes to other units affect it as well.

Not to mention that the metagame is always changing and revealing overpowered stuff that might have gone unnoticed. Blueflame hellions for example were considered completely balanced for over a year, until Slayers terrans completely dominated an MLG with them.

To me, the key issue with infestors is just that they are no FUN to play against, nor are they FUN to watch. It isn't too much of a balance issue, I hope blizzard addresses this.

Rock paper scissors is terrible unit design.

i have a question!!

why do protoss has to go collosus all the time vs Z, why not making HT to take the 3rd with cannons?
if by any chances the zerg will have just lings and getting infestors as usual, if the zerg go ahead and attacks u have better position to feedback those infestor right?

i think this is a good way to deal with this infestors in the mid game going to lategame and im pretty sure a protoss on 4bases will fight a zerg even with Broodlord infetor combo


Zerg doesn't need to attack you if you turtle behind high templar at a third -- or any strategy involving turtling behind a fast third. They'll happily start their 12 minute hive and proceed to roll you over in 4 minutes when broodlords pop. Difficult to take your fourth with a broodlord/infestor ball bearing down upon it.


like i said, why not go even more ahead? since protoss know zerg will make a billion roaches why not make just the right amount of HT and the go straight into robo for inmortals? i think it will be a very tight timming but i guess, it can work

The only way HT come into play against vikings is if they are clumped, we have learned to split against fungal and should do the same against storm, if the vikings are split then as a terran storm away I'll just emp and snipe away and then use my bio to power through.

So if a terran engages badly with his vikings but everything is on par then of course the vikings will die to storms and HT>vikings, but engage well and Ht won't be efficient against vikings and vikings are clearly>Colossi.

Side note when you say HT/Colossi> viking, what do you have the Colossi in there for? Or did you mean to have viking/ghosts?

THANK YOU, DUSTIN BROWDER!

I was thinking that making a fungal a projectile would be good and with short range. Making its range shorter than the range of marines would make it so that players would really have to burrow and sneak in and catch an opponent off-guard. Thus, it'd be more rewarding on the Zerg player and still force the opponent to always be on his toes with his army.

Just my thoughts.
