+2 armor and shield upgrades also disable any building harassment. So yeah sounds like another sneak remove of something, they can't balance. But nothing against testing it. | ||

this makes it very difficult to mass infestors and a low infestor count is possible to manage and really not imbalanced in my opinion. it's almost pretty much impossible to fungal vikings unless a terran walks into it but that's normal it's called bad micro we haven't seen a lot of tournaments recently but in gsl and proleague zerg have not been dominating at all what is blizzard thinking?? | ||

Mutas are already too strong in ZvZ. If you want to go roach infestor and your opponent is going mutalisk you have to pretty much hard counter mutalisk before being able to scout. Ling muta all ins at your third are already hard enough to stop, and not getting a third before mutas is pretty much a loss considering you have to get infestors and a couple of queens or hydras then push to your third while having enough meat to stop ling baneling. Please don't ruin this matchup even more, mutas are already too strong it's really dumb right now. | ||

With guardian shield (which extends to air) 6 damage. With 3-3 on everything, instead of dealing 5-6 damage to most toss units (base armor), they do 2-3. Carriers do 5 damage, so it affects them the most, 60% damage increase and it takes 250 shots to kill them now instead of 75, assuming you have 3-3 upgrades. If you dont, it is a lot less punishing - Comparing 0-0 air to 3-3 zerg, you do 2.5x as much damage because he does not have armor any more (5 instead of 2), and you dont take extra damage because he doesnt have upgrades either. In regards to the discussion on rooting vs slowing, i honestly think (even though it doesn't make sense according to physics) if fungal rooted air only, and slowed ground. The whole reason fungal needs to root is because mutas/phoenix. But as such its too potent against ground units like marines. The opposite suggestion was going around for a while, no root on air because it completely removes the possibility of midgame air presence in WOL PvZ | ||

But seriously, I haven't been more excited for a patch since WoW 3.0.2, this has been wanted by practically everyone in the SC2 community for a very long time, and now it is actually going to happen sometime soon™ | ||

Blizzard is listening to the community months later. And anything that deserves a neft is extremely OP because it's pass the stage of nerf. | ||
