Its not really a change to the actual infestor just to the colour of the eggs that are dropped.
Recently Ive played/watched alot of ZvZ and engagements have eggs flying around constantly but you cant tell them apart.
Maybe shooting coloured eggs(in respect of the players starting colour) will help with confusion?
I feel like trying to land a good fungal in a land of eggs is pretty much a flip of a coin since you cant tell them apart since they look exactly the same.
It wouldnt change any strategy of the game but it would help engagements in my opinion.
What do you think teamliquid? |

This would be a good change when watching games.
Also a light hue on the color of forcefields, hinting which side casted them, would be great.
Now go tell Blizzard  |

This is a very good suggestion, although I would lean more towards colored veins in the eggs (eg Brood War) rather than changing the entire color to a solid blue/red/whatever, for aesthetic purposes.
I also find it ironic that OPs username is EggY.  |

ive been thinking the same thing. it's practically impossible to see whats going on when you've got tons of roaches and infestors opn both sides, all the roaches get fungalled and to top it off 1002948756747 infested terrans get dropped down.
even all the casters are unable to tell who would win the fight in the end.
i think this change would be pretty good, now zergs just sit out the fight until the numbers are decreased enough that they can finally see if they are winning or losing.
if you can tell earlier what the odds are a zerg could potentially pull back earlier and live to fight another time. |

I think that's a cute idea, which can also be extended to storms and EMPs, but I do see the OPs point where it can actually make a difference in understanding who has how many units not only for observers, but also for the people actually playing.
Where as with storms and force fields, it's purely a benefit for observing (at least as far 1v1 is concerned). |

| I really like this idea, I don't play zerg but sometimes enjoy watching ZvZ depending on the player... but when it gets to infestor vs infestor (late game? I guess) I have no idea what the heck is going on. |

| i want this change to happen, no the entire egg but having the colored veins in the eggs would look sweet |

I'll play the devil's advocate here but...
Part of the thing that seperates players in that situation is their ability to memorize which eggs are which and fungal accordingly. It's part of the skill involved in that matchup, so this would be lowering the skill cap. |

| I think it would be an awesome change, also infested terrans need a better way to identify the colour |

Is that actually skill though? As a player I know which eggs are mine, it just seems to be a detriment to spectators. |

| Yeah really good suggestion. Different color for fungal wouldn't really do that much because you can see the color of the units being fungaled usually. This could be used for a lot of different spells though. Seeker missiles, forcefields, whatever it is. So yes I agree. |
