It's almost impossible to get caught out of position when your siege weapons have a deployment time of only one second. Range 5 is a siege weapon? Really????

Or remove Pathogen Glands and increase the starting energy of the infestor. It would only be 150 gas less, but on the other hand thats a Hive. Massive numbers of Infestors were bad in the past and if they were made cheaper it would become viable again ... even after the nerf both Fungal and Infested Terran received. Bad idea. | ||

Surely this would help Zerg transition much easier from muta to ultra? I like this idea also. I have no issue with the ultra change, becuase i don't really think it will do crap to anyone/thing. I think a mid-game change will have the most positive effect for zerg, without destorying everything. I am a big fan of the overseer thing though. I have been thinking/saying for a while that they need to be quicker, but also think that ovrlords need to be a bit quicker.... | ||

I always thought that zergs problems lie in the fact that they have fast units in the early-midgame but only slow units in the lategame (broodlords, ultralisks, swarmhosts, infestors). I dont see how increasing the healthpool of one unit from 500 to 550 makes a big difference?! | ||

Overseer speed.buff is nice, directly helps zerg deal with mid game widow mines. Ultralisk buff: general consensus around here is that it's a lazy buff that doesn't address tvz problems and I completely agree. | ||

Bad idea. What about just removing the upgrade then? The only time that really benefits you is during the transition to Hive. For mass infestor it doesnt really matter at all if you have 29 or 30, but during the transition where you have either 3 or 4, that makes a difference imo | ||

Zerg is testing 2 buffs at once. You can't say one won't do anything when you haven't seen how BOTH work in conjunction. If the change doesn't help matters at hand, than it wont be patched. | ||

The current infestor would not be viable to mass even if it was 50/50 and 1 supply. They just don't have any DPS anymore and can't kill stuff by their own unless supplys are very low. | ||

This way clearing mines and planting mines requires the same amount micro, rather than just 1 click for terran and 5 clicks for zerg. I think you need to think about actually plausible solutions. They aren't going to completely rework the widowmine now. I do think the idea of pathogen glands being done away with could be good for buying that extra time without forcing the timing push against hive to be earlier. It would also make it so you don't have to choose between the locust upgrade and pathogen glands when you want to use both in a composition. | ||
