G'day to all.
Thought id throw out a little issue ive been having and some ways i have come up with to maybe combat it but really looking for some input.
The Issue
In PvZ, seemingly since the patch, the infestor has been a much more predominant unit in PvZ. While using a relatively standard PvZ build, being Collosus, Stalker, sentry, with a few zealots for good measure i have been having a massive problem with dealing with Neural Parasite, in a heavy roach build, stealing my colossus and melting my ground force.
Some Initial Assumptions
1. The engagement does not occur in a tight choke.
2. Supply counts are either both maxed or roughly even
3. Both sentries and Infestors have energy
4. I dont want to make overhauling changes to my build in order to overcome this issue
First Attempts to Overcome
- I tried using blink stalkers to blink in and kill off the infestors and while this worked the same problem occured in that i lost a large portion of my ground force and eventually got rolled.
- I tried to get high templar for feedback but the sheer range of neural parasite made this almost impossible to get off before neural happened.
Current thoughts
I have currently been experimenting with adding a few phoenix to my mix when i see infestor tech in order to lift them during and before the engagement and it has been working relatively well but a well placed fungal or if there are a number of hydra's i seem to struggle.
Conclusion
While phoenix seem to be helping (sort of) the game feels to much of a dice roll on whether he hits that crucial fungal or not.
