At the very least, not be illogical or confusing to non-expert viewers. Psi-storm killing stuff makes sense. Nuclear strike annihilating stuff makes sense. Vortex, stim.. all makes sense. Spells like EMP or PDD are already border-line spells, since new players wouldn't necessarily understand them (notice how smart casters usually show the mana of EMPed units). A fungal growth affecting a medivac but not a warp-prism not only doesn't make any sense, but is also 100% guaranteed to confuse pretty much every non-expert viewers/players (low diamond or below). Really ? Is that some kind of argument ? So they make snipe 50 damage to everything, because that psionblabla tag is weird and strange and confusing. | ||

So what is zerg supposed to do to deal with before broodlords? Don't forget they take quite a while to get considering the requirement? | ||

(LOL) I thought the whole point of the ghost/templar/infestor is they counter each yet now the infestor simply does not belong in that spot anymore. So every race should have an "anti caster" unit? last time I checked you don't need an anticaster in ZvT because there is no useful caster on Terran side. So your question would then be: "What do I do against HT?" ... | ||

Then go test and shut the fuck up already. | ||

I just want to clarify. | ||

Notice the "to some degree" in my sentence. Stuff like snipe dealing +25 dmg to psionic is already "kind of" bad game design, but it's not dramatic since it's never used against anything else anymore, plus newbies don't even notice it. Fungal growth not affecting warp-prism but medivac, hitting stalkers/zealots but not the sentries... can't be missed and is very confusing. I don't understand how you could think otherwise. I watched BW before playing it, and everything, with the exception of dark archon spells, made perfect sense to my newbie eyes. | ||

HT's and ghosts still can't get close enough to to feedback/emp infestors because of broodlords. All they've done it make midgame protoss stronger, while leave lategame zerg as still an issue. Seriously, do these guys even play or watch the game? Cloak | ||

What about a protoss army with 30 supply put, oh I don't know, somewhere out of vision? Or a protoss army missing 10 supply, that's about to warp 5 DTs in your main? Please try and stop writing every post with such ridiculous Protoss bias, it's pretty tiresome. | ||

ginormous Protoss buff in PvZ: -much easier use of feedback -easier access of Archons to nearest toilett -speedprism basically unvulnurable microed -unnecessary(!) immunity to sentries more Protoss will prsim/dt harass and buy necessary time for carrier transition or forcing Zerg allins (already see wandering spines and spores) :/ | ||

Seriously, do these guys even play or watch the game? Big +1. It's going to make the pre-brood lord 3 base timing stronger, while unaffecting the BL+infestor combo problem. There's no way HTs can approach that compo. It's gonna help with warp prism harass though, which I like. It'll also slightly buff DTs harass, since a nearby overseer will be a requirement to save an expo in construction. | ||
