    LOL That would be hilarious. I would be Zerg all the time against a friend of mine who is always Protoss. Just to annoy him xD.

    corruption + parasite = awesome.

    This is bull****, corruptors were my favorite unit in starcraft 2 thus far because of that mechanic. Now it is removed, aye karumba. The good news for me is that at least the corrupted units have no expiration timer.

    On a side note, is the overseer and overlord the only zerg air casters?

    On another note, yay for the return of overlord transporting.

    I think the corrupted units die slowly cause their hp goes down slowly.

    I can see the usefulness now of these stationary 'scouts', is there any official confirmation for them having a hp degeneration?

    i got it from Miles, i mean Gearvosh, the Admin of the Starcraft 2 Armory, he was able to get to Blizzcon and play the game. Stebo (a member of site mention) also was able to play at blizzcon, and agrees with Gearvosh, as well as added that it took about 5 seconds to to corrupt any air with just 1 Corruptor as long as the corruptor stayed alive that is. tho they arent sure how long the corruption last, so i am basing that off of what i knew so far about Corrution before it was changed into what it is now.

    thats stupid, corruption was one of the few interesting zerg mechanics introduced, still is kinda, but not as interesting.

    If there's no attack it should be permanent (until destroyed) in my opinion.

    Taking out the attacking corrupted units kinda ruined the corrupter because it was either destroy the corrupted unit or kill the zerg air forces first? make your choice cause it will effect the outcome of the battle.

    I agree, if corrupted units are now just stationary scouts and not stationary turrets, then the corruptors effectiveness as an AA unit has been turned down a big notch.

    I'm gonna miss the original Zerg Queen. I'm really hoping for an air caster in Sc2.

    I think the overseer is supposed to be the aerial caster for the zerg. Kinda lame though. No decent spells. I think it should at least have ensnare or dark swarm.
