Pure passion or is there a wayfor them to make money off this? Making changes = people checking them out. More people in the client = more people to buy announcers/skins/whatever | ||

In amy case I like fresh things in the game! | ||

In large fights; if you have a ground based army; such as ultra hydra or ling hydra where usage of the ensnare would seem usefull; i usually experience one of the following. - Infestors move to the front to cast their spell; they get sniped by the carriers / HT. - Infestors get stuck behind your army. They cant cast the spell. Because of the high dps of carrier based armies; both situations cause pretty much lose the fight/game instantly, because your hydras will just die. I admit that some of the above can be fixed by better control; but my feeling is that the ability needs some work (maybe range extension or longer duration if it hits or small area of effect?) or remove infestor collision radius. | ||

Yup.Just like my opinion. Also unlike srambled egg missle you can't run once your units get hit.This ability has no counterplay. | ||

This was changed a while ago when they allowed fungal to be used whole the infestor is burrowed. See here: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/20372512/ | ||

The old cyclon upgrade was simly garbage, the new one make the cyclon a fairly good AA unit and as much I love the "Smart Servos" upgrade it was probably to good for Hellions/Hellbats. Mules mining gas is still strange ( the animation is really bad imo.) | ||

I don't even think the meta from 3.8 was completely settled 9 momths after it came out. And yet they want to evaluate this patch every week? Disruptor changes will never work. Novas which explode on contact will eliminate them from main combat. I said that 20 pages ago and it's still true. The disruptor nerf is just as large as the mine nerf yet no one seems to care. | ||
