EPTCan't believe people are actually arguing to leave this in if it could be patched out. Even if the advantage is restricted to certain situations and limited due to the early investment, the nature of this bug is just so different from other movement-bugs etc., it's mingling with s.th. that should be equal for all.

An alternative fix is the SC2 way where 4player or greater maps let all opponents know where the other is. I'm open to hearing support for this, but my initial stance is dismissive. I think ultimately the bug causes to many questions and issues including crashing the game. | ||

I don't think it should be allowed either but it will still be interesting to see how it will affect meta so there's that. I'd be really interested in hearing what the pros say about this. | ||

Step 1: use this glitch to scout their location Step 2: Half price archons to make 400 supply worth of archons Step 3: TOTAL RECALL Seriously though, I love how people keep finding these weird glitches and it's ALWAYS Protoss lol. It seems like Blizzard really cut corners when they were testing Protoss. | ||

If works with a cancel, I think you could do a 4-pool rush without hurting the timing too much, and then you hit the right spot every time. That's pretty deadly, and extremely annoying for ladder. | ||

That's pretty deadly, and extremely annoying for ladder. far harder to do reliably with the classic method, the "transitory building animation" for terran/zerg buildings is pretty short compared to protoss. using yamato or any high dmg cumulative attacks/ability on the building is basically letting the game press escape for you during the animation. | ||

IF you can see when the pool is starting for example, you can time this to scout for a 9pool and then 12 nex after not seeing one. That would be big in pvz. (would be hilarious if that became a 'new meta' and zergs started 8pooling to fuck with it lol.) I am pretty sure it just links to whatever is the newest unit in the linked list of all units. So it could be any unit, including buildings, spawning Larvae, Interceptors, Scarabs, laid Mines, Halucinations, Drones recreated after cancelling an Extractor, surplus Lings or Scourge after they hatch, things unloading from drops probably too. EDIT: Even other wise unselectable units, such as Dark Swarm, Dweb or Scanner Sweep, it seems… Opportunity cost is hardly higher than that of sending a proper scout. I think this definitely falls under the category of things to be banned and, ideally, patched. It's like a soft map hack.

Zerg buildings turn back into Drones, or their respective precursor buildings, or Geysers in case of Extractors, which occupy the same list address. So it should not work with a cancel. You should be able to use an egg cancel though (downside: you lose 1 larva, upside: only 50 upfront investment for Lings/Drone morph with full refund). | ||
