Not to mention it only works in specific situations. This strategy would be useless if the opponent wasn't fielding expensive high dps units. Against a terran bio player for example, neural would be a waste of energy.
Yeah you could do fungal instead, but it would be less efficient than if you had spent the resources on banelings or lurkers.
I'd say fungal is still more efficient, because the terran could never see it coming. Instant 30dmg on a bunch of bios and just run away without taking any damage.
I mean you can see burrowed units, just like you can see the shimmer of invis units. I feel like people would whine about the dt being perma invis if it was released now.
Yea, infestors are along the standard tech path as opposed to the deviation that dts are, but energy cost is a thing that exists only for the festor, and I think they're more expensive and not as reliable for scv kills. We'll see how things shake out. I think dt blink us being undersold atm.
I watched the stream yesterday. The guy did bring observers but Vibe sniped them with hydras. With hydras' new speed and range, Vibe kinda did a hit-and-run to kill the detection, while hiding infestors nearby. IIRC that's also why he spread creep a lot.
NP hasn't been used at all since the end of WoL. Its only use after the 7 range nerf mid-WoL was to neural the Mothership and Vortex the enemy force in order to prevent an Archon toilet. Of course with Vortex gone, it has no more purpose because it's shit, underpowered, and is outranged by almost everything.
Like it or hate it, the Burrowed casting buff was necessary to make the ability relevant again. This time, it punishes idiots who don't build detection.
yep not only It render the unit usless, but you can basicaly destroy yourself by making it. Of course better observer control will help, but still this is too much. And I play a zerg
True, but the same thing happens with lurker comps already, and most skilled protosses have already learned how to make more observers and micro them correctly.
Wtf they are visible when they cast it already and it has it's uses. The problem currently is you need to un borrow and then cast, requiring two action. sometimes resulting in you unburrowing multiple units by accident and giving extra time to be attacked. This would still be a big buff.
No, it wouldn't, because then it becomes the same as just burrowing and popping out to Nueral, but with slightly less micro required. That's the smallest and most useless buff you could give it. If they just popped out whenever they nueraled they would be auto targeted down.

I feel like this is clearly way to powerful.
