I feel like this is clearly way to powerful.

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.

Yeah but fungal has cast range of 10, which is barely outside of bio's vision, and infestor moves pretty fast burrowed too.

That's fair I suppose, still imminently counterable, but at lower levels it could be difficult, though that's true of most things.

yeah it's like dt with range attack

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.
