Wow, this looks visually appealing, makes since in lore (moreso than bonus damage vs biological on spores) and fixes several issues in multiplayer forcing using voidrays to require splitting rather than a moving. I guess fungal kinda does this as well. Idk, thinking about it more I don't think it would fix anything.

But it looks so cool...

This is a good idea, and I'm betting it will make it into LOTV.

I don't see anything fundamentally wrong or game breaking about this.. it's like a less mobile version of a Scourge. Did Scourge break BW?

Seeing as Mutas aren't a problem in ZvZ anymore, I'm not sure how much this would really help the game, but a cool idea none the less! :D

Imagine if Blizzard did changes like this to the game though, instead of dumb, extremely specific shit like +dmg to biological or whatever. This spore cannon feels almost like how Dota is being balanced.

splash vs air is no joke, balancing will be hard and other races would need something similar as it was for all three races in bw.

Dont think it would change much ZvP, the Skytoss army will just have tempests to pick off the spores first.

Valkyrie prepared !
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!

I think if range and rate of fire were low enough and the spores like glowed green it could work (maybe). They should have to convert to a baneling launcher first and maybe not have detection and or the ability to move. This was entertaining if nothing else

My qualm with this is that it promotes Spine/Spore pushes that is reminiscent of the dark days of WoL PvZ. I'd much rather it be seen on a unit way before mass Spores would be a thing. The Hydra-Roach should have one final evolution after he activates your trap card.

with what logic is this like a less mobile version of scourge?

anyway, although it's a cute idea it would simply lend itself towards more passive play. Buffing static defense further is NOT the way forward.


by the logic that it fills almost exactly the same niche as a scourge (air splash) and it fires suicide units - but in a very limited capacity as far as mobility goes.

And it doesn't necessarily only facilitate passive play. It'd synergize very well with creep pushes and swarm hosts...

I don't know about breaking stuff, but it would operate in a fundamentally different way than scourge despite being a suicide attack. This amounts to more static defence. It could work on the otherhand, it might just be more turtle play. Unless they tighten up attack-retreat micro so muta could pick off the incoming banelings.

Scourge encourged micro maneuvers. The Chinese triangle was probably among the most difficult maneuvers to pull off, but it allowed mutas to pick off scourge. The precise speed of scourge vs shuttles and corsairs created a chasing game. Air vs air by default tends to lack much movement (cluster vs cluster.) But scourge actually forced a mobile war in the air.

Funny idea though. Should be used along side baller's sick, new hydraroach.
