the projectile definitely seems to be the right response. i always get annoyed when casters yell SICK FUNGEL because you really honestly only have to hit one fungle and its gg alot of the time. making the spell harder to cast will make the risk reward of the spell fit more in line because right now there is no reason not to build 30 infesters that counter everything

I really hope they don't go the route of buffing EMP/Snipe/Feedback/etc. That could really screw with TvP so badly.

edit: I am glad that they're possibly looking at another WoL patch though.

I remember way back that they toyed around with making fungal growth a projectile, why didn't the keep it? Anything that limits micro to begin with is a gimmick in my book. When practically every Zerg tries to make 20 infestors a part of there army, when the infestor is supposed to be a support unit, that should tell you something about its strength(kinda like when Protoss would just warp in HT to instant storm with KA). But Blizzard will be Blizzard and like always we just have to do a lot of waiting.

make it a projectile please. Increase the speed of the projectile if it is too hard to hit. finally finally some justice! you can even make them cheaper for pre sentry immortal all in if the spells are nerf!

A video of what Fungal looked like when they tested it as a projectile before it got revoked:

They could fix it all by just removing infestor all together bringing back defilers and buffing lings. EZ PZ

If they nerf the infestor so hard they need to nerf protoss all-ins aswel imo, because without the infestor in it's current state 3 base timings would be much harder to hold (and they are already pretty hard) due to forcefields and immortal combo

They have not been consistent in the way they balance and their comments on infestors in particular have caused a lot of consternation. This reminds me of situation in WoW where for almost a year they refused to touch mage damage despite a lot of community action. When they finally conceded and made the change, it didn't matter. They were ridiculed and had lost respect.

I see the same situation happening here. When they do finally make a change, and rest assured they will, the uproar will be louder than the welcome.


With this attitude and if Blizzard has to consider this as well, we all lose in the end.

I like the fungal projectile idea the best.

Suppose you have a fungal sized clump of marines and you see the fungal coming, I think you should be able to stim and save maybe half of your rines. Phoenix would no longer be hard countered by infestors and stalkers would have a chance to blink away.

I feel this can be balanced in by adjusting the energy cost, speed of projectile, and possibly damage/duration, but I'm just an armchair expert not a pro.

Oh yeah but make it so that point defense drone can't stop it IMHO EDIT: or maybe not I'm not sure on that last thing.
The reaction of boron-11 and plain hydrogen produces all its energy in the form of charged particles which can be directed by a magnetic field, but the reaction is very difficult to sustain and many fusion physicists doubt it will ever prove practical

They are just going to opt for the least volatile change that will bring win percents closer together. They aren't gonna change the game or the way it's played, which is my real problem with Blizzard and HotS. They are so concerned with balancing the game they don't realize how boring the game itself has become

What I also perhaps would like to see is that the Infestor kind of has to 'prepare/charge up' for it to shoot the projectile. However, everything it hits in a line get's fungaled.

Ya basically the biggest issue is if they change it too much Zerg will lose every fucking game all of a sudden its back to roach hydra every PvZ so we can get rofl stomped by ffs
