    also: can you disable a pylon? cause that would be awesome in the extreme.

    it stops research and unit production, not functionality

    this is according to that previous blizzard post about the patch, it's true that they could easily leave stuff out in those but I'm thinking that's all it does.

    I'm not complaining that it's weak by any means, just trying to clarify what it does

    and according to http://sc2pod.com/wiki/Contaminate its range is 3. I do not know how this was determined.

    Okay. I'll revise my arguments to be less cuntish.

    1. Overseers cost larva. Just because they morph from an overlord, doesn't mean you can completely ignore the original cost.
    2. I don't want to lose an overlord/overseer for almost any reason, even keeping someone from using a building for 30 seconds.

    I think the only race that isnt hurt by that debuff is zerg. If you do that enough times to a terran base, especially mid game, that'll give you enough time to outproduce him.

    It'll definitely be annoying.

    30 seconds of having a useless building? That's.... That's significant.

    Yeah, but I get the impression that doing it to a hive won't do much since larvae = where the unit comes from, not the buildin...oh...ohhhhhhh.

    And then it all clicks. Well, maybe larvae aren't affected because they aren't intentionally produced through a user action?

    I wouldn't actually know, honestly. How did the original corruption affect zerg buildings? No one ever used it.

    It stops larvae production, upgrades, queen production, and pauses the spawn larvae ability.

    it actually stops larvae production??? this seems completely broken to me in ZvZ

    also as for the patch notes does anyone feel like the WoW balance team is working on this? it sure feels that way sometimes

    And now for something completely different!

    What's the consensus on 12packs of mutas? Viable or completely neutered?

    I feel so vulnerable with them in ZvT.. especially after being so used to them in SC1. They drop like paper planes against the marine blob and either of Terran's defensive structures.

    I just haven't been able to make them work.
    I never had much trouble with mutas once I learned how to play Terran decently. The availability of the marine as an anti-air unit gives terrans a huge edge over mutas. If you do go mutas against terran, you'd better push the "harassment" angle really hard.

    Mutas are generally much better against protoss due to the uselessness of the robo tech tree in combating air units.

    Those are the real designers. Jace Hall is also real, and also a huge fan of Blizzard. Everything else is probably fake.

    Those things shouldn't be firing colossi beams, they should be firing banelings.

    And when the ultralisk dies it detonates like a nuke.

    Edit: And keep the mineral/gas cost the same.
