even if they don't change anything regarding the spell itself, can't they at least just tweak supply cost of infestors and energy cost of fungals & infested terrans (especially during these tests)? still praying that the projectile change goes through in HOTS, but I'm not hopeful at this stage... and the free seeker missle does absolutely nothing, its not like terrans are having trouble lategame TvZ because they couldn't research HSM in time due to the cost or something -_- | ||

The only reason they are making changes to the infestor is because the community perceives that there is an imbalance. Rock-Paper-Scissors is balanced, but is really boring to watch and relatively skilless. The Infestor needs to be changed because it makes the game boring, and doesn't require a ton of skill to use. Any Masters Zerg can chain Fungals, it isn't like Marine splitting where MKP can make a Masters Terran look like a fool. | ||

They get informed of an existent balance at large, and especially at the pro level, and go on verbally writhe with complaints of racial struggles and we're so fucked, and blahblah blah blah blah. It's almost as if the pros know how to suck it up, practice and overcome things, where-as the 98% of players who aren't even in something as easy to get into as low NA masters are here reinforcing their sense of having wrongly lost games because of imbalance, instead of addressing their own imperfections. When's the last time you went up a league? What is all of this whiney catharsis doing for you? The age old whines of imba from players who aren't even notably good at the game, and who lack an honest approach to improving and overcoming things within it. Such marvelously loud stagnation. Thanks for taking my thoughts and typing it out... intelligently. | ||

They also keep picking antiga shipyard, a mainly terran favored map due to the drop/ledge play being so easily accessible. | ||

I'm seriously contemplating quitting this game if this is how Blizzard approaches balance. are these changes live? no? there doing exactly what they should be doing making small changes, seeing what happens then adjusting the change at 80 health one storm kills the eggs (dunno about duration or if eggs regen and saves it) but if/when tehy see that this doesnt affect ITs then next stop might be less damage per shot or slower attack or less health on the actual IT | ||

toss use FF as a crutch as much as zerg use fungal as a crutch it would be nice if both could get removed from the game and the game stayed balanced | ||

I hate infestor play a hell of a lot too, but it seems they are trying to tweak small things. This is GOOD. Blizzard are lambasted for being inconsistent in balance tweaking, but they actually aren't. It's a common misunderstanding. 1. Period were Terrans got nerfbombed. This leads to: Blizzard announce that they're trying to be more transparent, and also 'let the metagame settle' rather than trying to patch as much. They LITERALLY said this. They then made the Queen/Ovie change as the last 'big' patch. I feel that that patch was too good, and Blizz didn't predict all the consequences, but they announced they were going to try to patch less. 2. Period where 'Patchzergs' aren't nerfed hard. It's not that Blizzard hate Terran at all. It's that the period where Terran got nerfed, correlated with the period Blizzard wanted to balance more by patching than by metagame/maps. Now, unfortunately for non-Zergs, Blizzard are being much more careful in how they are tweaking Z. Part of this is due to our own feedback that Blizz should be less trigger-happy, so don't blame them for listening to us. Indeed, I think they're actually using the balance test map to test out, not what they want to do, but the concept. I don't know how they'd use the data collected from games on such maps, but I imagine they're somehow doing that. | ||

also how hard can it be to nerf the infestor? if they dont find a "smart" way to nerf it, then nerf the numbers, and by that i really do not mean the egghealth, but rather IT dmg or attackspeed or so, or maybe DO nerf fungal by replacing root with snare, instant with projectile or lowering the damage. | ||

I just think all the pro gamers are not happy with it, by the time anything is live all the major end of the year tournaments are going to be over. | ||
