The fungal growth changes are huge in my opinion, the warp prism harass will be very difficult to deal with, before it was a fungal and 2 or 3 infested terrans and that was all.

When has terran ever received a buff to get them to use their units? The thor? that shit got revoked. The ghost? that was actually proven to be a nerf more than a buff considering terrans need minerals more than gas.


That's funny, because Terran has received exactly one buff in the entire history of SCII and it got revoked a week after ThorZaIN used it against MC.

They also reduced bunker build time once or twice. Can't forget that.

-Sentries and warp prisms should not be inmuned to fungal imo. (Why is a warp prism psionic anyway?)
-Seeker missile change is interesting I really don't know what this will do the meta game.

Why would u want less micro?? more micro the better. Now zergs can't sit around and not worry about harrass.

I think this isn't enough. Fungal should slow units and not root them. U should always be able to micro your self out of positions just like BW. Still Blords and infestors are still gonna be dominate late game vs protoss. infested terran should be 50

+ before people keep freaking out, it sounds like blizzard wont even go through with any of these changes.
Probably just made this map to keep all the infestor haters pacified until HOTS. Doesn't mean theyll implement any of these

I think these are a couple of good ideas. In particular, I think that this is a good way to start with nerfing fungal. Instead of changing the whole way the spell functions (projectile, or slowing instead of rooting), removing its effects on a small subclass of units is more cautious and less likely to fuck everything up.

So, what's the lore explanation for fungal growth not being able to affect psionic units? The brain waves of psionic being destabilize the fungus or something? Blizz needs to find some way to make this clear. Maybe rename fungal growth "mind plague" or something.

Huh? Warp Prism has the "Psionic" tag? O_o I'll be darned....

I still would prefer an improvement to the HSM itself rather than a straight buff to something external to the ability like this, but hey, whatever incentivizes Terrans to use Ravens, lol.

Lots of people care. Making "relative" sense is important in games so that players maintain their willing sense of disbelief and enjoy the game more. Same thing applies to all media.

If a zergling had magic spells that involved pointing its finger at a colosus and making it explode, but this made the game balanced, do you think that would be fine?

why the fuck does lore matter over balance anyways.

plus they're really creative so they'll think of something.

that's not our job.

(hint: creative team at blizzard, who isn't entirely creative but that's their job, and you don't have to do their job for them)

As far as I know, bitching about balance isn't anyone's job either, but that doesn't stop TLers from doing it. Might as well talk about the design part of it as well, no?

I don't see a call to action about helping them test how to fit things into lore.

Jesus, just take away the root from the fungal, THEN think about how to balance the unit.

And then a year later blizzard doesn't want to change the Queen range because they "want the metagame to play out"

Lol.

Yeah, one warp prism as a drop ship
can easily drop over 20+ supplies anywhere in your natural (which equals 4+ medivacs) and
can move as fast a mutas and
is immune to fungal!

I'm so happy for toss.
