Imo fungal should be nerfed instead. And something I really wish they'd change would be Broodlord damage (not broodlings). Broodlings are what make the Broodlord so fucking strong, there's no reason their initial shot should deal 40 damage on top of that with each subsequent attack dealing 20 :S. Make the attack itself just do 10 dmg, they'd still be used and they'd still be strong. | ||

 Now, while we are talking maps, how about those neutral depots? | ||

And right before the release of HOTS, what a coincidence Now, while we are talking maps, how about those neutral depots? They've added unbuildable locations in HOTS at the very least. | ||

IT actually adds a lot to the game relative to fungal, in terms of harassment options, ability to draw initial fire, ability to use them as walls, promoting detection vs Zerg, and the decision making required to engage or let the timer draw out. Imo fungal should be nerfed instead. And something I really wish they'd change would be Broodlord damage (not broodlings).

What's the point in having attacking units if you have a free army which matches most armies head to head? | ||

Locked positions confusing noobies is just dumb. If they're so noob it hardly matters. | ||

It'd just be one of the better spells in the game. Doesn't mean it's imba, and I don't think it is if you nerf BL and fungal. Without a strong fungal, infestors would not be used. Fungal is the reason that infestor/BL is so strong, not IT. | ||

Blizzard is a company with very talented employees and they make great games and there's no doubt that they are loved all around the world - but my fuck - as a company they're plain ignorant, deaf, and greedy. | ||

I stopped playing last year and stopped watching SC2 for the most part at the start of this year. Bnet 2.0 lost me as a player and the repetitive infestor/broodlord vs mothership/timing push lost me as a viewer. My friends who aren't as TL hardcore as me were lost well before that. Too late Blizzard. This junk needed to be fixed last year, not this year. | ||

The reason why they are massed are IT's, not fungal, you can fungal with 6-8 infestors just fine. Not like i disagree with what you are trying to imply, but i honestly thing the unit needs a complete overhaul. | ||

I think that after the queen patch, zerg early and mid game is just too strong. And it just snowballs from that point. Infestor/BL was just the easiest comp for zergs to end the game with. Looking at the games themselves, you always hear things like the Terran didn't see the early roaches coming, or the Protoss spotted the muta switch too late, etc. You almost never hear that about Zerg. Because in the early/mid game, they pretty much know everything their opponent is doing and thus can either punish them or be as greedy as possible. Zerg pretty much dictation the pace and flow of the game. They also have so much map control once speed lings are out. Creep spread also gives them so much vision. Zergs has always been the most 'reactive' race in that they can switch their composition the easiest. If terrans start their Viking production only after seeing 4 colossi, there is no way they will have them in time, this is not true for Zerg. They can build 8-10 corruptor in one round.. And with the queen/OL buff, they have all the early game intel while denying the opponents. So I think in order to have a 'balance' game, we actually have to make Zerg end game the weakest because even if the late game army were even, the zergs still carry too much of an advantage from the early and mid game. And I don't think that is good design. Rather, we should look the early and mid game and see what can be done to give the other 2 races better counter/scouting. IMO, early roaches are too good vs Terran. You basically have to blindly build marauders or the roaches WILL do damage. But if you overbuild them and Zerg went lings, you will not be able to move out at all. Terrans need more reliable scouting besides having to waste 540 minerals on 2 scans. | ||

IT is only strong because fungal pins. | ||
