You don't keep an overpowered spell and then hand out immunity to every unit that it's good against. That's absolutely awful design. How is what he's proposing not effectively a nerf to fungal? | ||

Zerg: 1 Psionic Unit Terran: 1 Pisonic Unit I don't see how that change fixes TvZ Lategame. Fungal just kills everything Terran has lategame. Of course Ghosts are pretty good against Inferstors, but with Broodlords you can't even get in Range to Snipe/EMP. | ||

I agree with you in principle, I am just trying to keep changes rooted in what's realistically possible for Blizzard to do. I don't think they're going to re-work the mechanics of fungal. | ||

Fungal + Brood Lords + infested terran = impossible to fight because a 200/200 zerg army when you add in broodlings, and infested terran is something like a 260/200 army with fungal and transfuse. Protoss needs an air solution - QUICK! Just give us corsairs back and we are kosher. Splash damage - rapid fire, quick to build and are cheap like viking and corruptors. Its broken when 1 air unit counters ALL protoss air units. STUPID. Carriers need a fix - the interceptors are garbage. They need to make burrowed roaches and infestors blip on the screen like dts, obs and banshees do. They get nearly a 100% cloak - its ridiculous. | ||

I hate that Blizzard are happy to straight up remove some things from the game when they show the slightest sign of imbalance but refuse to even touch other, clearly overpowered and more importantly poorly designed things like fungals. Is it really that hard for them to just change it to a ~75% slow instead of totally immobilising everything? It just seems so lazy that they'll straight up cut things like amulet from the game rather than try to balance them. | ||

Why would they improve neural parasite if they were nerfing the infestor?? What?? Its about time they recognized the domination of the late game by zerg though, terran really stands no chance against gg lords and winfestors (odd their nicknames would indicate that their overpowered, hmm..) | ||

Taking that even further though, I think if it slowed the units to something like a 25% speed, and had the spell only affect the area over which it was cast (like storm) so that the slow units could get out of the slowing effects, it would be even better. That would also mean that the zerg would have to cast fungals behind the opposing army in case they try to run, to cut off retreat, which would take even more energy. Fungal is a broken spell as it is, and its making a lot of match-ups just straight up hard to watch imo. | ||

Yeah not being able to lock units in place "hurts" micro..or maybe its going to make you have to be able to micro your units instead of just fungling and a moving, which means you'll actually have to practice some micro of your own for a change | ||

Some Koreans have already been experimenting with using neural parasite to combat warp prism play. If you have a spore crawler in each base (and you always should by the later parts of the game) simply neuralling the prism and flying it over the spore is already much more energy efficient than fungal + infested terrans. It effectively allows you to stop drop play with 1 infestor and zero units, assuming your fast enough to catch it before warp ins / drops. | ||

Feedback is better vs infestors as it literally makes the infestors implode due to their energy and it's instant. | ||

But I'm not so sure about prism+DT. 1-2spores fall so quickly to DTs, that you basically need overseer coverage everywhere on top of different (more) army coverage. Really, not revealing DTs is stupid imo. It's like they suddenly decide that Terrans can't reveal DTs with scans anymore... | ||
