Can someone please fucking explain to me how the hell you're supposed to target fire an SCV that submerges itself into a fucking bunker while it's building the bunker?

Proceed into elaborating how a supposedly skill based esports game benefits from a random fucking mechanic such as the one described above.


Just a bit grumpy since i got eliminated from craftcup solely because an SCV stayed submerged for like 15-20 seconds while a reaper was fucking up the AI. I saw it coming from a mile away and couldn't do crap. Retarded zerglings circling the fucking bunker and then starting to chase the reaper. 5 misclicks on the bunker itself.


Bullshit game.

Didn't sc1 have some of that randomness as well? Although I guess some might think it bad how the scv just kinda disappears and you can't even really click it.

I thought blizzard wanted to eliminate randomness from a competitive game, so they removed the accuracy deduction against high ground.

It would happen with large buildings.

A small building like the bunker wouldn't have an SCV made invincible. Sure it'd jump around, but that was acceptable.

I agree. This absolutely needs a change. Along with salvage... pretty sick.

You were able to click SCVs reliably in BW.

I can feel your pain, I once saw a surround on my soon-to-spawn coming well ahead of time and couln't do anything. Just because zerg doesn't get the free choice of unit spawn direction that terran and protoss get.
It's really disturbing when you see it coming and know you can't prevent it.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

If you're close to the bunker with a ranged unit, cant you just a-move by the bunker for it and will auto target the SCV over the building?

And if you're a melee unit... well it makes sense that you cant reach it sometimes. At least its not Toss or Zerg where there is literally nothing making the building.

Am I wrong about the Auto-Targeting Priority?

He said there was a reaper around. Units prioritize fighting units over building/mining workers.

Yeah, it is definitely ridiculous that you cannot always select the SCV. Sucks man ><

Time value of money. Could have had two more SCVs. However, I agree that it's dumb.

It's dumb that it just explodes and you get all the minerals back. An scv should have to spend time taking it apart.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

Is it possible to use insert/delete to rotate the camera left/right and thus able to see the scv from a different angle? Could be blocked from all angles though so this might not help.

Lol It would be funny if blizzard patches the scv build position just because of this post.
