Nice change, I hope this will stick until the end of the HotS for now. Please don't change this Blizz!

Nah, it's still a considderable investment for T to get a Raven with a Seeker on the field - It's a techlab on your port instead of reactor, which means less medivacs, then 60gameseconds to build it and then 75 more seconds for it to actually have energy to cast a Missile.

It's still too longterm of an investment for it to be viable in the mid I think

Sorry, I actually didn't mean "mess up", it was a rather strong wording for what I intended. What I actually meant is that such a change will make it easier to work a handful of new "cheeky" builds/compositions into the current mix.


The game is so boring right now it's actually dropped below the previous low point of 5rax reaper. I think "a handful of cheeky builds" is about the last thing anyone should be afraid of.

no.. 5 rax reaper and 4 gate were both worse than the current meta


I'd agree with you if 5 rax reaper and 4 gate were preceded by 15 minutes of building workers, supply depots, and creep tumors.

Nice changes, definitely balance things, but don't make infestors more fun to watch.

Infestor nerf is only really for ZvP midgame, where sentry forcefield range will be larger than infestor's fungal growth range. When it gets to lategame infestor broodlord armies, there will be almost no difference.


There is. 1 storm destroys eggs now. Also feedback > FG now?

Very smart and rational change. -1 fungal range was my favorite idea for nerfing the spell.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

Seem like decent enough changes, reducing the unit's effectiveness without nerfing it into the ground. Feeling pretty good about how they approached this and their intended HotS direction, let's see how it works out.
Change to MY nostalgia? UNACCEPTABLE! Monkey paaaw!

As a zerg i like these changes . I would love to see more ravens being used and infestors are pretty bad right now, hopefully this patch fixes the infestor problem.

being able to force field out infestors is pretty huge actually. though im not sure if it is going to be useful in lategame situations.

And I did not mean that I found that bad either. I welcome more variety.
I just wanted to point out that this will do very little for the lategame, where terran is at its worst, while opening up things for early- mid-game with are much better off as of now.

5 rax reaper was a reasonable micro war and let to interesting mid-game situations/compositions, specifically the timing where reapers became less useful, but the T hasn't been able to fully switch his composition around. The only issues with the build were more around it being a little too weighted in favor of the T as the Z player was burdened with all of the risk (especially around building loss).

That and the tiny maps of that era which were always a core problem for Z back then.
