Topic: I can't believe they nerfed the infestor
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #12,214
I'm not happy about it, the nerf to neural parasite (-2) range makes it pretty worthless in any kind of late game, forget about neuraling colosi, ain't gonna happen. I guess it's back to bling/muta and roach/spam corruptors. It's like they don't want zerg to tech ever. I might go back to playing Terran since it's not the OP race anymore, plus I fucking love going siegetank/marine/raven/viking/thor/ghost/hellion/banshee/maurader/medivac/missile turret in the late game against fucking everyone. But yeah, we'll see if the buff to fucking overseers is going to change the zerg meta-game.(Edited 39 seconds later.)

I spend all day working outside. You make another "Let's play." also, what is your opinion of Protoss? Still pretty imba, or is it a balanced matchup?

Yeah, i know, i know, complaining about protoss is getting pretty old. Actually balancing is really pretty good these days, TvP is really close, and ZvT is also about 50/50, we'll see what this patch does to ZvP. Honestly it's only not balanced on NA servers. In EU and Korea the matchups are a lot more even. For some reasons Americans can't play Zerg :/

No, if I was I'd probably be at least Masters. I'm just a 1200pt diamond zerg. I'm white.

Oh wow, immortals got +1 range. It's supposed to make them more viable against siege tanks, but it also makes infestor play harder too. Apparently 3 gate robo, zealot/immortal comes in before infestors pop in big enough numbers to do jack shit, fungal hits armored units for 40 instead of 47 so it's worthless on stalkers again. I guess I'd better drop a spire instead of an infestation pit, but I hate that fuckinh timing -Hive tech gets delayed by sooo long.
Ultras come out almost 20 seconds faster... Their pathing still sucks, but they do fuck up some stalkers. Maybe skipping broodlords in ZvP in favor of ultralisks would be a stronger reinforce unit.

Why would you point that at me? You're the meme spouting thread derailing troll in this thread. Unless you've got an opinion on the infester nerf, or any other patch change then you're the one off topic, troll.
Mods please pass scramble and range ban this joker. I bet he plays protoss and always 4-gates everyone. hope you enjoy the -1 ramp sight nerf, you 4-gating pussy. "oh no, I can't win PvP anymore!"
Serves you right, punk.

Surprisingly enough the overseer buff is quite good. Really helps to have cheap cloak detection early, stops a couple of rushes pretty hard. It's also super good having a scout that doesn't hobble your ability to produce army units during a prime timing push window. I can see this making a slight difference, but you still gotta scout super early cheese with a worker. It's also nice that I don't have such a big decision between 1 overseer vs. a general overlord speed upgrade.
Infestors are still dying in droves to anything above tier 1 light units, but my micro is shit so the ability nerfs are very obvious. Maybe I'll just put all my gas in tech and pray my +1 attack lings can hold 'em off for 12 fucking minutes. Too bad good players push between 8-10 minutes :|
I refuse to go roach/hydra into corruptor, it's fucking boring as shit to babysit my base with the slowest unit in the fucking game. I will make infestors viable! The infested terran spell is still intact... It's my favorite anyway. Time to snipe some expos!

Oh fuck, the Raven got buffed.
Hunter seeker missiles went from a speed of .3 to 1.3, that's fucking huge.
Switching races, brb, going to abuse zerg. Sure the overseer stops super fast cloaked banshees, but it can't do shit about ravens! Bling/muta my ass, Hope zerg knows how to split their mutas :d
(they don't) hahaha!

Then get your retarded ass out and quit spreading your syndrome around my thread, you filthy autist. If you weren't so autistic then you'd quit parroting memes like rainman parrots the phone book.
Anyway, the good news is that mass ravens in 2v2 is now a really hilarious strategy. It's super gas expensive so expo and take refineries on 2 bases quick and go 1/1/1 and transition into 3 starport asap. Mineral dump into upgraded marines and cut scv's around 40-50 depending on how good you are at muling.
Siege tanks only once you're on 3 bases and can afford them, but you really only need marines and maybe a few bunkers. Ravens now counter all zerg units completely. At least in gold league 2v2 XD

That I've bottled that up for so long. I've tried to bring it up, usually on first dates, but it never worked. I feel free and clear now to start my concession stand at the peir.

2. Starcraft 2. And yeah, it's my favorite type of game. Strategy from other games (and concepts from military strategy such as flanking, sieges, and maneuvering) are applicable. It's just the 'Real Time part' that gets me --there's always someone faster.

You're obviously not Korean. Did you ever play the original warcrafts or command and conquer?
It's all basically Civilizations but with out turns, you just play as fast as you can multitask. It's difficult, there's more shit to manage than anyone can reliably do, so games vary pretty wildly. It evens out when players get better at multitasking and can do 2-3 things at once. Then you get really long strategic games with lots of attacking and defending going on everywhere all at the same time.
If you aren't aware of the following starcraft 1 had, it's considered a "sport" by a lot of people and there are actually pro leagues, sponsors and all sorts of ridiculous shit. Mostly in Korea.

Ah, yeah, it's an RTS too, I liked the Indians. I never played that multiplayer, just solo. But yes, same concepts, just Starcraft is highly streamlined for balance between races and efficiency.
