Are infestors even useful anymore? I mostly see vipers instead of infestors nowadays.

i think i will get overlord speed very fast in zvp and scout with a fleet of overlords flying in a V formation over his entire base while a stalker and sentry shoot at them at the 7:30 mark

yeah ............. 30 seconds of invision is already an eternity ..... esp when the tempests are not in an attackable location


zzz

Widow mines 1hit stalker/zealots now =\
and the infestor nerf is blizzard admitting they have no idea what the fuck they're doing to fix the infestor problem so they'll force the unit to be obsolete

widow mines now 1 shot stalkers and oracles though ^_^_^_^_^_^_^^_^_^^_^_^_^^_^_^^_^^_^_^^_^^_^_^_^^_^__^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^^_^_^
