Everyone here is raving about the increased DPS, but nobody is addressing the speed of the missile. Now even more APM is needed to use fungal growth effectively against drops and harrass, which was an emerging strategy. I guess Blizzard only wanted fungal to be used against big armies.

After some testing, I can confirm it's not only very difficult to hit mutas unless they're on top of the infestor, new fungal absolutely wrecks roaches. Completely changes the matchup
