Here's something I'm going to try: using changelings on 'hold position' to impede the movement of a defensive army when I execute a drop.

Downside: it's going to take me approximately a year to get anywhere near good enough for this sort of finesse to be worth it. So watch this space!

I guess it'd work on a ramp versus an opponent who has never heard of changelings and would just assume his game is glitching. Would be fun to see ha.

Oh absolutely. That's why it's going to be ages before a tactic like this is going to be remotely decisive

I could see this working in BW, but isn't the unit pathing/flow in SC2 just too good for individual units to have any effect?

Very much depends upon his unit composition. Two changelings easily stop tanks getting up a standard ramp to the main. Three or four will stop or greatly slow marauders etc...
