Winfestors can still fungal your stalker/sentry/immortal from behind roach wall ... and if you want to focus them down with colossus you will expose them to being sniped by his ground army. Imho it's bull ... although egg hp decrease was a much needed nerf imho. 8 range means that HTs can feedback a little easier. And really, infested terran was a huuuge deal in ZvP. Blizz is taking small steps, as they should. I don't want an underpowered Zerg. Despite what some stupid Zergs would assume, I actually want Zergs to do well and not be nerfed into oblivion. | ||

I guess this balance change might indicate that HotS will be even more pushed forward until release? | ||

Because then it would actually kill lings. + Show Spoiler + At least I'm comparing fruit  Both of the other two spells have been nefed from radius 2 to 1.5, it makes some sense that Blizzard would follow the same course of action. | ||

Played a bit more games TvZ on ladder, it has not changed much to be honest. The raven change does nothing for TvZ late game either. To the point I felt like analyzing it real time so people stop spouting out non sense about how it's a buff (check spoiler): + Show Spoiler + If you were just interested about the raven change: + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rgQK3IYTIo#t=8m6s The only thing I think the -1 fungal range did was make it so players can't be as careless with infestors...it didn't change anything in terms of being able to mass them with broodlord/corruptor imo. | ||

(edit: basically went from doing practically 0 dps to full dps) +2 range on queens also made a huge difference because they could go against the short ranged hellions much more effectively. (edit: again, went from doing - 0 dps to full dps, since players used to be able to kite queens with hellions) -1 range on infestor will not be as huge a change because infestors are still very safe behind Broodlord range, broodlings. What makes infestors super safe isn't just their range, but also the fact that tanks have to unseige against broodlords. Tanks are the number 1 killer of infestors in TvZ. I'm hoping more ghosts will be employed due to the changes, since they're slightly less susceptible to broodlings (ie, they won't kill their own units) BUT, it's a a change in the right direction. | ||

The Fungal range nerf is actually all that was needed to make up for radius 2. I like this approach more then decreasing the Fungal radius (well I am talking about it for 1,5 years now, so yay smelly me). Now the Range advantages in TvZ are pretty even spread, which will make Broodlord Infestor vs Viking Ghost/tank, really tough for both sides. (well less tough for the terran) Will be tough for Zerg though, it will take some time to get used to these changes. Because Infestors are easier to snipe now when they Fungal and you need to spread them a little if you want to through enough mass of Infestors (or get closer). I really like when units become harder to use. Sadly Protoss units usually become easier to use. | ||
