This gets suggested over and over again, but there is a reason it is not implemented, and the reason are mutas in ZvZ.

It still deals a lot of dmg to muta's and they destroy muta's way too hard atm anyway (don't pretend zergs ever split their muta's), so it's certainly something worth trying out.


With mutas regeneration, the damage does not really matter. And zergs do split the mutas.

fungal radius reduced and made into a slow and not root. Also i like the sound of not letting the infested terrans get upgrade advantages. All these changes need to happen in my opinion if they are going to keep it a non projectile.

It's not just about balance though. The problem with the infestor is it's too good at being a jack of all trades type unit.

This doesn't help that it roots enemy units so from a viewers perspective having them become less viable and more situational is definitely a step in the right place.

Fixed this for you.

edit 2 - Shame there's only 5 Protoss in Code S to enjoy a more balanced game... Maybe they'll make it far, though.

Simply stated. Yes

This isn't a bad change, but I still think the problem with Infestors lies somewhere in Fungal...

this is the first step in resolving the lategame problem, but way more is needed to fix the matchup - queen/creep/ovies/etc need a rework

we'll see how it works

i liked the raven hunter seeker missile patch from HOTS, they should do that

I don't especially see the point in the change at the moment depending on how soon most major leagues are sticking with WoL vs. HotS. I am definitely curious to see what ideas they have for a nerf this time around regardless.

I do agree with the IT nerf, allows infestors to be weaker in the late game when they have so much energy, while only slightly nerfing the mid-game, where they should be most powerful since they are only tier 2.5.

I guess it is somewhat significant, but massing Infestors will still happen, and ITs will still be prevalent in all match-ups. I've always been a proponent of increasing Infestor supply to 3, so massing Infestors would be a tactic that would dent the army supply, rather than simply nerfing Fungal or ITs.

i also liked that idea for quite some time, because massing one unit for a composition is really retarded. But lets be honest, fungal is a boring spell that allows no comeback nor micro, and sc2 has way too many of these anyways. A more fundamental change to that spell would be way better imho.

then buff the freaking hydra, also something that has been suggested forever. Decrease their size (although this will still mean colossus domination), increase their speed on creep, give them bonus damage vs light or sth like that. They are supposed to shoot air, but they dont counter a single air unit in the game because they are as strong as a stalker, less mobile and tier 2.

low gravity, yes-yes!
