Just Abduct, that is the only spell so far.

Broodlords can't be stunned with fungal also

That would make lots of Protoss immune to Fungal Growth which shouldn't be immune to it, imo.
The Protoss death ball would basically just keep on running, even with GOOD FUNGAL GROWTH!


No I'm saying that you make Massive = Frenzy

And then remove Massive tags from collosi and other units.

If all massive units were frenzied then Vipers would be almost useless.

It's a "this unit doesn't give a fuck" ability that basically makes Broodlords and Ultra's ignore movement altering spells. (concussive, abduct, fungal, forecefield). Don't get why they can't give the mothership this, probably because an angry mothership doesn't make sense lorewise rofl.


Why doesn't this abilty affect Time Warp btw? Never got that one :-?


It does pretty sure.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Yes, IMO it always felt silly that the "full" Mothership doesn't have this kind of ability.

Broodlords immune to abducts sounds big although I don't recall the last time I've seen a Broodlord in a ZvZ.
Truth be told, I usually fall asleep during the inevitable Roach V Roach wars

Time warp, fungal, concussive shell, forcefield, and abducts are all movement altering spells.

The Servo upgrade remove will help defend roach pressure/allins, as you can defend with your hellbats now, especially if you go mech.

They aren't, because it is said that Frenzy now also affects movement altering spells, and Ultras were immune to Fungal, Concussive Shell and Time Warps, but weren't immune to Abduct. They are now immune to Abduct too.

@Existor, I was talking only about movement altering spells, Fungal isn't one of them.

Now only Swarmhosts need "Frenzied" and we have 2011 ^^

Seriously interested how this will change the game. Hope we will not see even more long Zerg games now (Swarmhosts + Broodlords :/ )
Hellion change seems to be good, guesse it will change TvZ earlygame...(and maybe TvT)?

Its the ultralisk passive,

So pretty much Brood lords &Ultras cant be pulled in by Vipers.

Forcefield isn't destroyed or affected by Frenzied.

Forcefield (the unit that's placed when you cast the spell) has an auto-cast self-destruct that triggers whenever a ground unit with the 'massive' tag gets within melee range of it. So if you gave Frenzied to a baneling, it could not blow through forcefields no matter how cool that might be.

Blizzard said earlier that they didn't want to give units special abilities that make no sense to balance the game... broodlords not being abducted but the mothership can be? logic

Man nobody is reading past line 2 -_-

Massive tags = Frenzy abilities -----> Remove Massive Tag from Collosi

That way you can fix the issue with MS being abducted. But, maybe I'm just high off of Sharpies from white board writing all day. -____-

Well, a Brood Lord can be frenzied. A Mothership can't

And then just also change bonus damage from Corruptors to just affect specific units, same as Tempest's bonus damage, same as how Concussive Shells work... Things will only get more complicated.
