Nice interview, it's been my thoughts that most of the problems surrounding pvz can't really be fixed until HotS so just hang out for that. This being said, I think projectile fungal (if it's not too slow) is a great idea as it adds a skillshot element to the ability while still allowing zerg to defend against earlier aggressive timings.

The fungal not affecting psi thing worries me though, as I'm assuming this includes sentries?

Quick Comments

SLCN.Kez:

fairly sure sentries dont count as psionic, merely units that have energy

I heard it as fungal NOT affecting Psionic as Dustin said he wanted Ghosts and Templar to be solid counters.

mGGDaedalus:

That's what I meant to say (typo)

@ kez, they are light mechanical psionic as far as I am aware

SLCN.Kez · Mon, 19th-Nov-2012, 12:12 PM

nfi then, however i couldnt imagine sentries being immune to fungal, that would feel like to much of a nerf imo.

That being said, I still dont know how much I like this change, because the infestor goes from being this sick unit, up until protoss/terran get their unit, then it's terrible

I can't wait to see some TvZ with this change.

Really loving the changes!

Saw this interview yesterday and it made me smile, exciting times not that far away!

Would love to see them prioritize in client streaming / viewing once the features released with HotS are sorted. Hopefully in later giant patches or at least in LotV
