The sheer mind-numbing boringness of fungle into amove has singlehandedly made me switch to Terran then get a dota key. I just can't stand playing my race anymore, because infestors are the only choice that doesn't auto die to mech and FFE allins and it's the worst choice you could make when it comes to actually enjoying the game. And I'm not even talking about watching tournaments. I play 3 races, so i don't know if i count as a "zerg player" but you are not alone  | ||

However, I agree with you. Here are some ideas for changing infestor (I would even go so far as to nerf ALL of them): -Burrow MUCH more visible. Even if you don't have detection, you can see it if you're looking -Infestors have significantly slower movement speed. -Fungal does not slow Templar/Ghosts -Reduce fungal range by 1 I believe that, in doing all of the ^, you will solve the problem of late game retardedness with infestors in major battles. However, this still opens up the problem of players turteling excessively on 3-4 bases. Honestly, I would not mind the return of old infestors. The 8 second root was actually GREAT during the mid game, and huge neural radius allowed for a greater mid game utility in taking over tanks/collosuses. I wouldn't mind blizzard opening up a map with the old infestor and just seeing what happens with the current meta game. | ||

Also have any foreigner zergs ever commented on the topic (massive anti-zerg/infestor & ease of winning griping)? Do they think it's hard? or just enjoying their freedom so to spk? etc etc | ||

He's a blue poster in the strategy forum and ran this thread. | ||

I mean, that latter sentence: To summarize, Blizzard has deliberately designed SC2 over the past eighteen months so that foreigners can beat Koreans regularly, despite their general inferiority in skill. It's kinda harsh for game developers and players. Snute just beat Life 2-1. But it shouldn't be that way. The game should be designed so that the player who has the better strategy, the better skills and mechanics should come out on top. If koreans win everything, then fine, that's good because white people then need to practice and train more. But white people beating koreans because of balance design rather than mechanics and skills is bad for the game itself. | ||

But I think both the fans, the players, and Blizzard know about it. :p | ||

The better players do not always win, it's rigged for, or against specific players. There was a newer interview with Dustin Browder where he specifically said he acts as moral support for his team. That's because they have to regularly artificially boost certain players to stardom and rip some down that don't deserve it. They also snipe people on the ladder that are known for criticizing Starcraft 2 or David Kim on bnet forums (and probably TL). If you don't believe me that's fine, just write it off as some loony conspiracy rant. Just know that it absolutely happens and it needs to stop. | ||

and now i absolutely hate watching roach and infestor play, fuck its so boring, the game has become a game where one player wins after one engagement. Little harassment, little aggression, just one A move and the game is over. | ||

e. You could have revealed the caster conspiracy too. Sometimes I have to mute streams just so I wouldn't start hurting little animals. Every single fucking fungal is "great" with the added "whoa". When the day comes a Terran manages to land a nuke on an army I wonder if their heads would just explode. | ||

"Heavily nerf infestors" while making other play (mutalisks, ultralisks, and indirectly banelings/zerglings) more viable lategame. Can't wait to win and improve an equal amount as I am currently, but without everybody demeaning the value of my rank because of the race I play. SO well put. I improve the most when I'm playing the most. end of story. Anybody who thinks that zvt being at 60-40 at the highest level of play is the reason they can't get into masters/diamond/whatever is fooling themselves. | ||
