I think reducing the radius of Parasitic bomb might be a good solution here. It’s currently radius 3, which is double the radius of storm (4x the area), and while it has less DPS, it moves with the target and has a higher total damage, and with the larger radius, is probably doing way more DPS, and the Viper is a much more mobile/less vulnerable unit than a high templar, and Abduct > feedback or archon morph.
PB does a guaranteed 120 damage to anything that isn’t a viking, and if the Zerg uses it properly in combination with enough corruptors, I don’t think there’s any way for them to lose an air battle.
A solution to a problem that does not exist
Get ready to be called a “noob whiner”. The whole point of PB is to mitigate or counter Vikings… and the Zergbois think that forcing Vikings to leave the air and ground themselves somehow isn’t achieving exactly that.
And I’m still waiting for the spaz clowns that say “Oh, yeah, all the Terran pros land their Vikings all the time to get away from Parasitic Bomb” to provide evidence that this is the case. There’s nothing like landing your Vikings so they can get pounded by the Brood Lords. Problem solved, right!?
Parasitic Bomb is designed to counter Vikings so they can’t threaten Zerg Air units, like Brood Lords or Corruptors, which Vikings are supposed to counter, and these Zergbois genius solution is to land the Vikings… which 100% achieves what the Parasitic Bomb is supposed to do… remove Vikings from the air equation.
Okay, Zergbois, why don’t we just give Zerg the ability to force the Terran and Protoss players to blow up their own ships. We get the choose which of our units that have to die. That’s fair and balanced, right? Wouldn’t want to threaten your fragile egos by actually having a balanced late game, because the “Zerg Team” needs to win all the time.
LoL this is on liquipedia:
“Vipers is Weak against:Viking, Mutalisk and Phoenix”
in game viper is i bigest counter to thees units
Viper is like old liberator … counter siege units … And had OP aoe vs air . they realise that was mistake … and nerf that air Aoe to the gound … but why they didn’t nerf viper same way ? Viking, Mutalisk and Phoenix should counter viper …
You’re silver, the viper is the least of your problems. In fact I am surprised to know that someone uses viper in silver
Why do you think someone has to be whatever metal league you are in to have an informed opinion?
“I think Zerg needs to be nerfed, and not just because I won this championship.” - Rogue
“I won because balance really favors Zerg.” - Rogue
“I think ZvT and ZvP late game, I would say if Zerg plays perfect, then Zerg should always win late-game pretty much…” - Serral
The opinion of a regular player is worth nothing, your opinion is worth less than that
LMAO WinterSC says that Zerg can make it all the way to Diamond without knowing anything about the game. You’re proving that you can even make it to Masters without doing so. You probably think you’re SUPER good at the game…
Meanwhile, I quoted Rogue and Serral. Are they good enough at the game for you to believe, spaz?

Any race can do that. I can get to diamond with pure marine or zealot
PS - Are you capable of realizing that you just played yourself…? YOU are a “regular player”, spaz, and, by YOUR OWN ARGUMENT, your opinion is worth nothing.
So, are Serral and Rogue “regular players”, spud?

Oh please, you whine about exactly that nonstop - literally hundreds of quotes across dozens of topics. You are whining about Serral winning premier tournaments and blaming zerg for it and ridiculing me for not adhering to your herd mentality all in the same one sentence statement. You are a king of whine like Avilo. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were his alt account on these forums. What you fail to realize is that that your attempts to ridicule me (for not adhering to your bazaar world views) is actually a compliment. Every person should be pleased to be ridiculed by crazy TCF whiners because at a bare minimum it means you are sane and that is sorta a compliment.
Are Serral and Rogue “whining”, spaz?

wow youre really getting off on these quotes.
explained like 20 times, but who cares, i do it another time:
these quotes are from mid-2019. zerg got nerfed since when. so why in the hell do these statements still matter?
btw, you can edit posts. you dont have to post like 10 posts in a row, because youre unable to quote multiple posts in a single post…
I am aware that my opinion is only that, one opinion
in contrast to you, hes gm. what was your league again? so who pretends here to have knowledge over this game…
I’ve been to grandmaster with all three races and to Code S level mmr with zerg and terran on the KR server.
Have. You. Qualified?
