For some info:

- Siege Tanks kill Infested Eggs with 3 shots instead 4. With vechicle weapon upgrades they always can beat eggs with 2 shots.
- IT eggs can be killed by storms now for ~3.5 seconds
- IT eggs can be killed by colossus by 2 shots instead 3
- Planetary Fortress kills IT eggs for 2 shots too instead 3

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.


Zergs may have to break out one of the 4 units they have not been using due to the infestor being so effective. Maybe its time for the old BL/Ultra tech switch, mid game mutas to abuse mech being slow as crap or considering building units before taking both gasses on their third. Or baneling drops, those were pretty great.

But terrans better build a single mid-game raven to remove creep tumors now, damn it. It comes fully upgraded and is worth the gas cost in mules alone. Plus to get a single hunter seeker missile to bring the fear.

All your suggestions have nothing to do with the problem he said tough. which is sentry immortal allin will be stronger now.


Players have been able to hold off that build without infestors before with good scouting and engagements. There is nothing new about zerg worrying about a two base all in from protoss and nothing that cannot be solved from more diligent scouting, good control and decision making. Fungle will still outrange everything in that build and will still be able to kill sentries, which ar the backbone of that build.

So yeah, it may be a little strong, but not but I have faith in zergs to deal with it.

Can't you wait and see how these nerfs works out before proposing even more nerfs to infestors?

Awesomee! This is hopefully going to have a big impact on the way the game is played nowadays. Perhaps the Raven will get used a little too much, but we'll see. Now the only thing remaining is to nerf broodlord attackspeed, which makes it possible to clear out waves of broodlings before the next one is launched, making it possible to move closer and closer to the broods for each wave you take out.

Thorzain is going to be unstoppable in TvZ. Can't wait to see what his ghost control does to infestors.

Zergs need to learn to bring overseers instead of relying on fungals for detection.
ZvZ is like a shitty apartment: Roaches and Fungal Growth everywhere.

I should probably add that fungal nerfs could be balanced by, for example, buffing hydras... The point is not simply to weaken Zerg, but to make a more micro friendly game.
What is best? To crush the Zerg, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the Protoss.

Seems like a step forward. However I'm concerned it just makes deathball end-game Zerg a bit weaker but doesn't really encourage a different style of play.

It should be noted that if you're making tanks in TvZ you'll pretty much always have at least +1 on them to deal with Lings with carapace upgrades. So in reality it is basically your tanks can 2shot eggs unless you have a really late +1 factory timing.

I have to say though, That I really like this infested egg nerf, spamming eggs right on top of an enemy main army never felt right to me. Zerg has always been a race where you have to carefully hide or protect your morphing eggs. Not hurl them in the enemy's face in the midst of a fight to tank some dps.

How about making fungal only root ground units? It doesn't make much sense for fungal to stop air units anyways.

This way Zerg can still damage air fleets with fungal but can't chain fungal them. Dropships and Warp Prisms can get away while still taking damage. Mutas and Vikings can not all die to a few fungals... a player could react to a fungal by moving away or spitting them before the second fungal.

Progress but still not a solution. When blizzard nerfed ghosts from 45 damage to biological down to 25, THAT was a real nerf. This is a step in the right direction, but certainly not the answer to all our terran cries.

That would dramatically affect ZvZ in a negative way.

The nerf actually has zero effect on infestors dealin with immortal sentry, fungal still outranges every unit in the army by 2.

Mutas might not just be a gimmicky, timing-based ZvZ strategy then? Keep in mind a good fungal will still do alot of damage to them.
