I want to be as clear as I can on our current position of the Infestor in Wings of Liberty.

- We are not going to make any changes before BWC.
- We are going to continue to watch games and gather data.
- We will discuss changes.
- We may try a balance map sometime after BWC.
- We may try some changes in Swarm Beta, using that as a test-bed for stuff we could bring back into Wings of Liberty.

At this time I could see these as possible outcomes:
- We nerf Infested Terrans, Fungal Growth or both.
- We make a change to the Infestor (hit points, movement speed, etc.).
- We do a change to how the unit is designed (add a projectile back to Fungal Growth, increase the visibility of burrowed units while they are moving, etc.).
- We buff some of the potential counters (EMP, Feedback).
- We do a combination of any of the above.
- We see something that makes us decide that doing nothing is the right answer. Obviously if this occurs we would share this data or reasoning.

For those of you who believe that this is too slow a response, I am sorry.


EDIT: "Rock" is Dustin Browder himself. BWC (aka WCS) is scheduled to start on November 17.

What a succinct and honest statement. I'm sad that the world championships might get fucked over because of the balance, but as long as we're constantly moving towards a better game, I'm happy.

Yeah, but it would I think even be worse if a week before the tournament there would be a huge nerf for the Infestor. It would screw over Zerg players so badly. It isn't a pretty situation but waiting until after the tournament is the right decision.

So this is a more or less a "yes, we will nerf them". And that nerf seems quite drastical. We will see

I would love to see a projectile added back to Fungal Growth. It's a super powerful spell so it should be harder to pull off.

No it means they'll ''monitor data'' which means they could do nothing at all.

Since BWC is next weekend I hope we can see a patch to fix the infestor before November is over, or at latest early December.

Personally I'm no longer interested or invested into what happens to infestors (or balance in general). What I do know is Blizzard has dug themselves into a hole.

They have not been consistent in the way they balance and their comments on infestors in particular have caused a lot of consternation. This reminds me of situation in WoW where for almost a year they refused to touch mage damage despite a lot of community action. When they finally conceded and made the change, it didn't matter. They were ridiculed and had lost respect.

I see the same situation happening here. When they do finally make a change, and rest assured they will, the uproar will be louder than the welcome.

Changing the Infestor this close to World Championships would be a big mistake too though. I just hope they're not afraid to redesign the infestor more than nerfing dmg/supply. Fungal is toooo boring.

It's a little late for that anyway.
