ZvP patch notes

[BerserkSword-1662]

The balance team’s analysis of the situation is ridiculously off point.

ZvP lategame WAS zerg favored when the infested terran existed and zerg could achieve that mass infestor based comp. This is because Carriers, High Templars, and Tempests were all nerfed because of the balance team’s, once again, misguided analysis claiming TvP was Protoss favored.

The infested terran is gone. The BL is borderline useless. Microbial Shroud, the compensation for IT is literal garbage. The lurker buff doesn’t do anything against skytoss and is shaky even against groundtoss in practice because there is no easy transition while a Protoss player banks up critical mass of immortal archon and can steamroll the zerg trying to transition. And now the PvZ lategame is Protoss favored, and Terran just stomps both Protoss and Zerg lategame.

Zerg lategame is NOT a problem. The problem is the catering to Terran playerbase. Instead of reverting the Protoss lategame nerfs wrongly implemented, but done in the name of TvP, they are just nerfing the Zerg lategame to dust.

I’m still not quite sure how protoss is weak late game. They have 3 different forms of splash. Plus if they start getting carrier their air army because very hard to engage and your only option is to really turtle and go for abducts. I think that there is a small window in the early game and then a small window in the mid game where zerg is strong but other than that it’s protoss favored. E

Abduct into hydra-lurker and mass banes. Or into spore forest if playing against mass air

This literally doesnt work against lategame toss at the pro level.

Serral can’t do it (unless protoss makes a mistake). Korean Zergs lose more often than not when attempting it (in tournaments). What makes you think anyone else is capable of doing it?
