Also revert the queen +5 range. Make it +4. No need to make it +3 since Blizzard doesn't like being wrong. | ||

Do you need to run the unit it's tareting away until it dies / the missile disappears basically? Or is there any other way to deal with it? You just run away for 15 seconds, or 20 if they upgrade, and the missile runs out of gas and dies without exploding on anything. ... Hey... what if Seeker Missiles simply automatically exploded at the end of the timer? Wouldn't that be more interesting, like, always? I mean, Seeker Missiles running out of gas is the most anticlimactic thing ever. Seriously, how could you make something more boring? Let's just have it disappear and do nothing...at all. wow. You would have to be really careful of the missiles, you can't just run straight away without thinking, there would be a lot more awesome mine dragging... the thing could flash red when it's about to go off. Damn! That sounds fun. It would be basically just as easy or hard to outrun as before, but when it's low on time, and close to other units, there would be a VERY interesting dynamic going on. Plus, you could Seeker missile your own Hellions or stimmed Marines, and have them loop around armies as you try to time it so they're over the enemy army right at the 15 or 20 second mark! If your unit gets picked off, then you essentially lose your indirect control over the missiles. Isn't that cool? We already have self mine dragging now, but they can only explode where the unit is or where he dies. This generally won't be right on top of anyone. | ||

It seems like Terran have a way of being able to whine collectively for months until they have an 80% win ratio. As a Protoss I'm sitting here with a smug grin on my face because Colossus will burn every single infestor that ever comes near. Thermal Lance range 9 vs. Fungal range 8. Feedback Range 9 vs Fungal Growth 8. I'm facepalming at this patch, it is disgustingly bad. When did this even get tested?! the first zerg whining, worse even because it comes from a protoss.. and ive read ALL THE POSTS UP TILL NOW.... please... make an effort of thinking before saying this.... please do. | ||

At first Terrans would whine that there was a cooldown period before you could take action, and then David Kim could take that away and then GSL can go back to normal. | ||

 This still doesn't allow micro, which is a fundamental problem rather than a simple balance problem. | ||

Same with forcefields. But fixing this matter would need a whole overhaul for Zerg and Protoss, because I believe Toss would just fall apart without forcefields. | ||

You're thinking of the wrong race  | ||

The fungal also has a radius of 2 giving it an effective range of 10 if you're just trying to pin a single unit. There's also the fact that spell casters can cast their spell and then get out of the way. It makes it a lot harder to initiate with infestors and also make positioning them harder, but they win the range fight against everything they used to other than a ghost, like you figured out in the first half of your post. | ||

Like Protoss Sentry-Immortal-allin or a mech-terran especially in midgame. Both really hard to deal with, already right now. It will be even harder to handle after that nerfs. | ||

This might be the swing in the other direction. Happy for TvZ though, might be something at least. | ||

Use hydras for sentry/immo =P | ||
