Another benefit if less health is i believe this means that tanks will need 1 less shot to kill infested terran eggs, so the engagement went zerg shits out like 9 eggs then runs in could be more effective.

Overall I like this by blizzard, its small changes so they dont completely break the game like people have said in the past, which means they are learning from their mistakes. Remember the immortal change from 5-6 range? It actually did change a lot, so expect this to as well.

Funny change that one, it didn't really do all that much to change the 1/1/1 but planted the seeds for the Immo/sentry all in a year later.

Will be interesting to see what ripple effects these changes have.

its only going to have a large affect in diamond and higher. cant wait to see pro level matches.

i feel the 12min max roach rush gave birth to the immortal/sentry all in

Yeah fur I remember everyone bagging it when they first changed it, if only they knew.... ahah

Maybe, but GL with an immo/sentry push with 5 range immortals.

[darkphoenix22]

meta changes break balance XD

I definitely see this small infestor change being good for the game.

Siege tanks, EMPs, feedbacks, colossus with range and storm are going to be that extra bit slightly more effective at zoning and destroying infestors.

Like fur said, keen to see the ripple effect in weeks to come.

[darkphoenix22]

i wonder what unit is going to be called out as game breaking and needs a nerf XD

[darkphoenix22]

senties? XD

Bro, edit your posts or something don't spam!

I know there's no good time, but putting out a balance patch the week of GSTL finals sounds harsh

[ROOT`iaguz]

Well between FXO and Startale the best zergs are Leenock and Life who can probably make do because they are ******* amazingly good zergs.

EDIT- and it's actually MVP in the finals well I'm stupid. Still, they should have enough depth in their lineup they can make do all the same!

Sniper, I heard he is a pretty decent Zerg ;)

[SFTAElessar]

Good start, but terrans need a buff!!!!!

they are getting one!

I feel this is working out nicely!

Having a seeker missle or two in midgame is ******* amazing, suddenly mutas arent as big of a deal and it deals good damage to roaches and stuff.

Like guzzy said, I am excite!

Good changes.

[SFTAElessar]

Terran neeeds moreeeee

[YourFather]

IMO reducing the range is a big nerf. But overall its quite a fair patch... Sad for Zerg though haha...

[RicocheT]

I feel a bit more could be done to nerf the Infestor, but at least it's a start.

well if someone comes up with an amazing seeker missile build that decides the finals (because no one has had time to work out how to deal with it), it will be controversial and stuff.

Wtf, im already losing most of my ZvTs :O

[ToRJoko]

Infestor still good unit.
