1. Oracles cannot shoot air
2. Neither can the mothership core
3. Medivacs are very fast
4. When you make expand, be sure to then defense it
5. There is no such thing as too many observers on the map
6. Macro like a god - if he tries to harass, just take every unit you own, all-in, and pray as hard as you can
6a. Heart of the Swarm made all-ins very easy. F2, Shift-3, F1, Shift-3, 3a
7. You can't proxy nex if your probe gets hit by a widow mine
8. You still can't if your second probe gets hit by the same widow mine
9. Medivacs are still very fast
10. Using chargelots to kill widow mines is not an intelligent idea
11. Your enemy will never focus fire your colossi if he sees you hallucinate them just before you attack
12. Your probes might be gone, but that widow mine isn't.

I'm going to guess that you played a game that went very poorly because you didn't know these things before.

Didn't actually go poorly. I won. My probes didn't win at all. But I did.

Out of the 45 or so games of HotS I've played, this was actually my first PvT.

What I learned today:

Peaches are like Bananas. You can buy them unripe, and wait.

Hmm...today I learned that 6a is indeed a good idea.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Is attacking widowmines with probes more or less effective than stated zlots?

Less, but it's more effective than running them single file over the mine
