Also, Zerg late game casters need to be this strong because of how bad ultralisks and broodlords are and how they have big obvious weakness compared to highest tech units of other races. Battlecruisers, Thors, Carriers, tempests are all much better all around than broodlords and ultralisks. I feel like to nerf vipers you need to have a new "capital ship" type late game zerg unit that can attack both ground and air. | ||

Thors are still lacking in some areas but they're too powerful atm vs massive air units. I think the shroud ability doesn't have to be so absolutely niche. A flavour thing you can do is to make it so when Marines and only Marines die while under the Shroud they become Infested Terrans and I'm not talking the Infested Terran of recent memory, but basically a shitty melee Zombie unit, have it be timeless so ppl would try accumulate the biggest zombie legion as possible  Finally I would've liked to see Adepts with a 30 shields upgrade, then the upg would've absolutely been worth it. I wanted to try it to force Ghosts from Terrans and then going into Disruptors, completely neglecting going Storm. Sounds powerful tho. | ||

I feel like to nerf vipers you need to have a new "capital ship" type late game zerg unit that can attack both ground and air. That's what most Zergs think, that you don't have any options if your casters get nerfed. Problem with Zerg is you have so many options which are why they are so strong. Viper Blinding Cloud and Abduct on a single caster is OUTRAGEOUS and on top of that it can fly. Infestor a 2 supply unit that can MOVE IN STEALTH and instantly steal 6 supply units that cost tons of minerals and gas FROM RANGE. Zerg casters should be nerfed hard and be forced to have to make specific army comps to counter Terran and Protoss, right now you can combine almost anything with these casters and you have a working counter that can respond to any enemy composition. Zerg casters are way too versatile. And there is a reason Zergs always end up with the bigger banks in a game it's because not only do they get to expand more but their armies are extremely cost efficient. Zergs power lies in fast remax,quick tech switches, cheap and many fast units. Zerg in SC was built and balanced around what I mentioned above but at the moment Zerg does not need to use those strengths because Blizzard gave them armies so strong they outrade armies that can cost waaaay more then the Zerg army. Zerg is ment to use its advantages aggressively but now all they do is eat up the map with bases and creep and have armies that are extremely hard to engage. That is another reason why Banelings are so strong now because we are supposed to accept Zerg can generate these insane banks so they can afford to make 100 friggin banelings that cost only 50 supply. It's madness and I seriously don't understand why there is not more outrage against this. | ||

This line of thought is not productive. You can describe pretty much any unit in the game and make them sound overpowered by marking their advantages in big letters and leaving out the rest. | ||

No, I can't describe any other unit in the game the way I can so easily point out how ridiculously strong Infestors and Vipers are. Any person in a good frame of mind would be able to understand that in a game based on economy having the ability to grab and kill units with almost no risk involved is broken. Not only that its low risk high reward but some of the units they grab cost twice or more their own cost in both resources and supply. | ||

Scv are 1 supply unit that can move THROUGH UNITS and they cost only 50 minerals and on TOP OF THAT they can REPAIR ! Did i do this right ?  | ||

Should zerg have any good units or should they just get rolled over by mass air or mass tank ? | ||

On a more serious note, why do infestors even need a 3rd strong spell? Zerg spell casters are already the strongest in the game. And why do they keep buffing zerg even though it's supposed to be nerfed after winning 3(!) blizzcons in a row?! | ||

Infestors have the biggest hitbox, making them very clumsy. Infestors are 'armored', so they take bonus damage from more sources than the other spellcasters do. Counting as biological is also not much of an advantage against ghosts... These are just from the top of my mind. There's probably many more, but no, infestors are not this God unit so many make it out to be.

No, you didn't do it right and you're well aware of that. Of course you'd pick to describe SCV instead of something like the carrier. | ||

Compared to the Battlecruiser or the Carrier, Brood Lords are ridiculously weak. With no AA to defend itself, and its slow movement speed, its practically useless without support. With their slow movement speed they are easily outmaneuvered and with the latest balance changes, they get totally shit on by thors. Compare that to a Carrier or a BC whose get faster on the field, move faster, hit harder, hit air and can be recalled or teleported if out of position. You could say that a BC costs 150 minerals and 50 gas more than a Brood Lord (and a Carrier 50 minerals more), but you have to consider the amount of corruptors you have to make to support them. You can have a Battle Cruiser, teleporting 5 Minutes into the game, into your opponents main and do huge amount of damage, if the opponent doesnt react properly. Imagine the damage potential of a single Brood Lord. | ||

Infestor and BL is the BANE of this game, they always has been. How can you say that they're not the strongest..? Everyone knows that this composition has always been nearly unbeatable and blatantly op since the game came out. Back in WoL literally the only way of beating it was archon toilet. And more recently in the past 2 years we haven't seen A SINGLE pro match where somebody lost with mass spores + infestors (with the bugged infested terrans) and BLs. | ||

Good job there mate, everything you just wrote is completely irrelevant because what is relevant is the late game army interactions where the Infestor is 100 times easier and better to use because you can use it from a defensive standpoint while Terran and Protoss risk their casters and almost 100% loses them everytime they use them making them 100 times less cost efficient then a Infestor. Nice try doh. | ||

What would be a good scenario for Shroud where Neural or Fungal isn't better? I mean, it is used vs air. So I imagine some sort of hydra / infestor comp. Also the whining is this thread is unreal. Get it together people | ||
