Watching the replay the DT changes direction just as the mine triggers causing it to only deliver splash damage, letting him survive with 3hp. Has anyone else seen this happen before? Was it just a fluke or was my opponent actively microing to try and dodge? Replay: http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=54407 Action at 5:30 | ||

Also if you manage to run away from a mine long enough, just like a scarab it will dud. I've never seen a spider mine dud. | ||

I thought that if you ran away from a spider mine long enough it will just burrow back in the ground, instead of being a dud (I could be wrong though). | ||

That depends on strange and unknown factors... usually somehow something to do with arbiter cloaking as far as I've observed, even though mines detect. Might be some strange discrepancy between their detection range, their trigger distance, and their movement speed. I would love to know the answer. | ||

Neither have I... :\ the closest thing I've seen to a dud is the drop-diffuse thing where you drop a unit the mine runs at it and you pick up as it explodes, if that counts as "dud"ing | ||

EDIT : The endless possibilities you can dream of while stoned theory crafting Are you stoned right now? What if the unit that gets targeted by a mine gets recalled  I feel like the mine in both cases would just burrow again | ||

However, it's a frustration and fury directed towards the fact that people exist that are stupid enough to play it rather than for the game itself. | ||

Yes, and you could also detonate a mine using this method with any other unit in a shuttle. One danger of dropping dt's out of a shuttle is, sometimes the dt is visible to the terran for a moment when it unloads from a shuttle, even if there is no detection present. Now what is up with THAT? | ||

Example: Jangbi vs Fantasy I don't think they dud like scarabs but they often lift up and then pop back down again. | ||

I cant imagine someone using that in a real game without knowing where any of the mines are.(and slowly stuttering everywhere) I know u can kill the mine as its being laid and stuff, or with that shuttle trick drop, mine pops pick up as it explodes and take no damage. But that video seems to rely on seeing the mine and then getting into a nice distance to run up and kill it before it explodes. | ||

I'm pretty sure you are right as it seems the Protoss player controlling the DT's has complete vision of the Terrans base. | ||

You can do it without vision but you need to know where the mines are roughly. | ||

I get suspicious by the lack of expansion, zealot first, and ramp blocking so I lay defense mines. I even try and position units to prevent zealot/dragoons from clearing mines. 1st DT is killed by mines. I have two mines laid for the 2nd, so I figure I'm in the clear. He eats the 1st mine in the face and then much to my dismay triggers the 2nd mine and survives! I might have been able to recover from here, but I was too surprised and confused to mount a solid defense.
