Prove to you that I've lost games because of Infestors? How am I supposed to do that? Screen capture a bunch of matches? Upload a bunch of replays? It's not worth the time to debate a point that I already know I'm right about. I've lost many games because of Infestors and that ridiculous root effect that fungal has.
Bullshit.
As someone that has had some experience in gaf with helping people improve their play, i can tell you that the thought process that typically occurs at your level is utterly alien. i dont even try to understand what people like you are doing in the context of my own experiences because it never makes sense.
hell, look on the last page where i was going over the replays of a platinum zerg.
look at the last game.
this is a player that outranks you who gets double evo but is 0/0 when the hive completes. gets the hive, but never uses any of its tech options. holds an attack and expands, but doesn't drone at all. climbs his resources into the 5 digit range but doesn't have 200 available supply and leaves a game. I see a protoss player who intentionally forces a speedling opener, the exact counter to a 4gate
and then 4gates. I see terrans who open 2rax double techlab to research one upgrade at a time while attempting marine pressure. i see planetary fortresses in naturals and 2 hellion openers that suciide into a spine and die to mass ling. i see a zerg that seeing sentry/chargelot and says on zergling infestor and then bm's when he losses! i see this same zerg burrow baneling mines and infestors on creep where terran will almost certainly scan!
and these are all players that are platinum league, higher than you.
These players do things that make no sense whatsoever to me. Things that betray a complete misunderstanding of the dynamics of the game. I watch some of these games and most of the time, i can't tell you what is happening because i cant predict the irrational.
So you're going to sit there and tell me you're losing games in gold league because of an imbalanced unit? and appeal to a patch that changes almost no dynamics of zvt? I say again bullshit.
Im not trying to be elitist here because most of my games are alot of blind metagaming with better supply timing, i'm telling you that:
pylon blocking a zerg and then 4 gating
does not make sense.
2raxing with double techlab and one research at a time
does not make sense
burrowing units beside creep tumours
does not make sense
and these things are all frightfully common where you currently are. I challenge you to post an example replay of you losing 'because of infestors' where stuff like the above doesn't happen.

here's a question for you.
two nights ago during gaf night i played wedge who is just slightly higher than you on the ladder. At the end of the game, I won with infestor/broodlord. i had 18 more apm than him. go watch it and tell me why wedge lost.
starts at 45minutes:
