Fungal is pretty BS.

A spell that does damage AND paralyzes units shouldn't exist. They combined Maelstrom and Plague from Broodwar into a single spell.

Fungal should only slow your units and do damage, not freeze them.

Well something is gonna happen to it...what? Who knows but Dustin Browder made a post about it.

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.

I don't think nerfing Infested Terrans is quite necessary, just make Infestors easier to kill so Zerg players can't retain them as well and keep reusing 30 Infestors.

Options:

Buffing snipe back to 45 dmg but make it do 30 to massive so they don't counter Broodlords/Ultras like they did before.

Part of the problem with using EMP is that cloaked Ghosts can't really wander into Overseer Broodlord Infestor to EMP since they'll get blocked/killed by Broodlings before they get into EMP range so that's not a very good move. Also, EMP radius is tiny whereas Infestors are huge so you'd catch maybe 1-2 Infestors per EMP.

Therefore, boost EMP and Feedback range by 2 so they don't have to be in Broodlord range to start EMP. Or reduce Broodlord range by 1 or 2 so they don't protect Infestors as well.

Another option is to reduce the range of Fungal by 1 or 2 so the Infestor is more likely to die after casting it due to being in range of enemy fire.

Dusting Browder said something about the infestor? Probably a buff (fungal growth now kills destructible rocks immediately). Wait for it.

Leenock is such a boss. He's still the only Zerg to effectively and regularly use burrowed Banelings.

He's about to lose the Ritmix RSL II Finals to Scarlett though.

nvm Leenock wins 4-3.
