We're currently thinking the last patch wasn't enough.

We'd like to test some more nerfs on a new balance test map soon to more quickly turn around another patch in Wings if needed.

Please let us know what your thoughts on the current Infestors at the professional level of play.

The change we're leaning towards the most is not letting Infested Terrans gain weapon and armor upgrades.

We've been testing this a lot in the HotS beta, and feel it's a solid change to reduce heavy Infestor play in the late game.

Anyone who watches or plays this game competitively knows that infestors aren't the real issue with zerg.

That's certainly a new song.

It definitely lessens the Infestor's lategame AA capabilities, Mr. Kim. Forces them to look to other options. Problem being, I don't think the Zerg have that many lategame AA options in Wings of Liberty.

I believe you guys are thinking that this thread is about HotS. It is not.


Correct. David is speaking about the Wings of Liberty balance right now.
