New Dustin Browder interview (From WCS china) - Page 3

monk: Just talked to Dustin and did an interview. There's a mistake in this translation. He said in the test map, Psionic units will be unaffected by Fungal, not Neural. Also, they're looking into a lot of changes for the infestor, including removing Neural entirely in HotS.

Yeah that's what blizzard has been doing for the past year, bandaid fix instead of design fixes. That's how we ended with the current metagame.

i dont like this change about the infestor, its the root that is boring and destroys gameplay, take balance out of the picture for a second.

The infestor is a boring unit for starcraft2, adding projectile MIGHT work if they make it SLOW.
The fungal removes so much strategies for everyrace, even zerg. Iam quite dissapointed, even so PvZ lategame is utterly boring also, i cant even think of why they have these supercombos of each race. That is not skill, that is memoryplay

if it's projectile then Blink stalker will be 2x times more stronger and important? You could actually bait a fungal then blink away.


Doesn't really matter when zerg has exclusively BL/infestor. Zerg laughs at one fungal being wasted lategame. It WILL however make phoenix and warp prism harass stronger throughout the game. Other than that nothing really springs to mind. Not like you could actually micro void rays/carriers against fungal now, they're still too slow to escape.

Honestly I think that to really accomplish that they need to look at the unit that everyone completely ignores when talking about "Infestor/Brood Lord", which is the Corruptor. Vortex is still the only appropriate response to a Zerg absolutely swarming you with Corruptors if you to commit to air. That unit may be plain but it's insanely good at what it does.

Maybe the redesigned Void Ray will help.

How does BL prevent blink stalker from dodging projectile?

Well, HotS is still in beta. They will tune it until Tempest can deal with BL. I don't have beta so I don't really know how well it deal with BL right now.

The reason they give for the change is pretty funny though, MC used to complain about this but now that he doesn't any more they are gonna fix it?

LOL. Zealot/Archon all ins aren't stopped by Neural parasite, they never were They're stopped by fungal + mass roach.

It just isn't fun to be forced to outplay your opponent when you can have lost all your eco and win by 1 neural parasite. So he simply decided to go back to LoL, a game that both I and him thinks fits him better

At long last we will see archon toilet every game again, yay so fun to watch! Much better than BL/Infestor, perfect change. I don´t understand what people are complaining about, this is great, now I will win most of my 3v3 games with my vortex.
Set it ablaze!

Why is it still 2 supply? So it's still massable, just less effective fungals. But Infested Terrans still as massable for only 2 supply.

I don't think you're getting the point I'm trying to make. You still can't engage BL/infestor if you bait one or two fungals. Stalkers have to blink under the brood lords to avoid being blocked by broodlings. Which means there's no way to avoid fungal once you decide to engage. ==> it's exactly how it works now.
