A lot of Protoss and Terran players are disagreeing with the change, they think that the Fungal should be nerfed, but that the change isn't the right one. I didn't vote, really want to see what will happen with this changes.  | ||

please blizzard we're not asking you to make Terran imbalanced. the Raven's role as a unit is FINE. it just needs to be given small buffs to make it easier to use. small changes like 25 less gas on the cost, acceleration and speed buffs etc. i don't want TvT to devolve into raven turtle fests like HOTS's mine turtle fests ~_~ | ||

They considered that and considered the fact that perhaps players would find a way to deal with the new problems it might bring up. Any pro players comment on these changes? | ||

There was a time before that. Zergs were mass expanding and using Mutas to pin the protoss to his base. Of course, if simply building a "I-win" combo is possible, then it will be executed. As a mainly e-sports viewer, I would love the metagame in PvZ to be shaken up. I don't believe protoss will win so much more if that change goes live, instead zerg will do more in mid-game, and the metagame will evolve. | ||

They're two different things in the game, but they both accomplish the same purpose: they make aggression useless. I'm not going to want to do a combat shield move out on the map if there's the threat of a mine or a seeker missile instantly evaporating my army if I'm not looking. It also renders a lot of midgame pushes useless because the seeker missile is just going to evaporate marines easily or even better just force the army not to attack as it backs up from the ravens. TvT is dynamic and interesting enough. Saying that it's "turtling with tanks blah blah blah" shows that you really don't know much about the match up past it's stereotypes. Blizzard seems intent on ruining medivac, marine, and banshee openings with their changes ~_~ and forcing Terrans to just ball up and either mass up factory units or starport units. | ||

It also leads to skyterran which is arguably the coolest late game composition in the game as it isn't an instant I-win button and it requires a lot of attention to get right. | ||

Every small move, every unsiege and every mine placement (in HoTS) now is super important. Every small bit of land you can cover with minimal siege tanks due to it being mech vs mech is CRITICAL. One wrong move and you lose access to a base and 2 gas. It's so tense. It also leads to skyterran which is arguably the coolest late game composition in the game as it isn't an instant I-win button and it requires a lot of attention to get right. Because it tends to result in 90 minute games. It's boring for 99% of the matchup and then interesting when someone fucks up. | ||

I think TvT in WoL is just FINE the way it is. but the way they're changing the game, by the time HOTS comes out we're ONLY going to do reaper openings, we're ONLY going to litter our bases with mines to prevent banshees or other harassment builds, we're ONLY going to try and get as many ravens early on as possible to win the air battle and then kill the other opponent's siege tanks. it's not fun when we don't have viable choices. i WANT raven changes yes! but i don't want the unit's role in the game to change. the raven has a fun role as a pseudo-defiler in the early viking-banshee skirmishes with the PDD. but the problem is that 200 gas is very taxing on a player's resource balancing. i want the role to remain the same, but the cost and ease of use to be less taxing on the player who decides to spend the starport production time on the spell caster instead of the more dynamic units. | ||

Although the change proposed has some great ideas, this buff will cause zerg much trouble. Immoral sentry is a very strong push versus zerg. I beleive that zerg players need to keep experimenting on how to more effectively stop this strong aggressive move. However, if sentries can no longer be fungaled, what is stopping protosses from going sentry immoral further into the game? Fungal growth, was the unit that shut down this composition. This is why tosses had to eventually switch in to colossus. But if infester no longer aids in the way it is used to, then zergs might have big problems with more delayed sentry immortal timings. I do like how blizzard is trying things out. This is the point for a public test. I just wanted to say, the idea behind this infester patch. Great idea. High templars and Ghosts will be used a lot more adding more strategies to take down late game zerg. But adding warp prisms and sentires, might be too much for zerg to handle without fungal growth. | ||

I want changes to the existing units to be like the Battle Hellion. It doesn't all of a sudden change how the unit is used. it's role is still largely the same: you want to tank for the more expensive big hitters. But now it's just a little bit easier to do, and you get some more choices with the unit. do i want these guys in the very slow but meaty hellbat mode? do i want them in the standard hellion mode so i can have the hellions move quickly to chase retreating armies? these are the kind of choices that make the game fun and interesting. with the raven change, no one is going to want to just use a PDD when they can have an extremely powerful splash attack very early (relative) in the game. | ||

Tell me a counter to FF for example, u can actually feedback infestors if you pay attention to it. I just think it is way to much to say "ok fungal wont work with this and this unit..." Maybe you can say, that psyonic units won't be stunned any longer or so. It was just my first thought | ||

Zergs were building mutaballs and avoided combat. most games ended in basetrades - imo quite more boring than turtleball play. In turtleball play, there is at least one combat. | ||
