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 | ||

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? | ||

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. 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) | ||

Might as well talk about the design part of it as well, no? | ||

And then a year later blizzard doesn't want to change the Queen range because they "want the metagame to play out" Lol. battlecruiser speed buff has an issue with your math! | ||

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. | ||
