One of the interesting parts about the "thoughts on changes" thingo:

We feel that the most necessary, core use of this ability is: fighting against Mutalisks. So we're trying a general downgrade against all Armored units to see how that goes.

The core use of fungal is anti-muta? Obviously it's a part of it but core?

Anyway cool patch, I am now scared to play HOTS Terran because I know when I play in SEACL as Terran I'll forget siege and look like a moron

It is the core reason, no one made infestors before they were buffed UNLESS it was ZvMuta. Zerg pretty much needed fungal to deal with mutas. Now mutas got buffed and infestors nerfed so mutas are imba good.

People say Mutas are better in HotS in ZvZ, but I've yet to understand that concept yet :\

How are Mutas "imba" good?

Sure they move faster and have better health regen, but once you get them fungal'd, they'll be chain fungal'd and still die won't they?

It's weird phrasing I agree but part of the reasons they couldn't keep the slow projectiles or remove the ability for fungal to hit air (which was in a balance map a while back) was because it's one of the only ways to break muta vs muta, most of the other functions of fungal can be moved or replicated to other units, but providing asymmetry in ZvZ can almost only be performed by the infestor.

Ohhh I see I see, fair enough!
