the only good use for blind is when you are getting swarm lurkered and you actually have units, but he's trying to get back into the game by jewing your economy | ||

If someone Blinded my Observer, I would just suicide it into some Turrets, thus making it the exact same as killing it; you could have just shot it down with a unit and not had to research the spell. On the other hand, if you blind an Overlord, they probably won't want to destroy their supply, and it will make the Overlord worthless for scouting. Of course, you could just kill it too....heh. If someone blinds your Observer, first you have to even realize that it's blind. Then you have to select it and run it into a turret. Ordinarily, the Turrets are being constructed near the Observers and that gives them plenty of time to escape beyond their range. Blinding Observers is a sure kill (or better) whereas building Turrets near them means they can run away =] | ||

Wouldn't it work just like when a tank with siege fires from out of your sight range, you get to see it for a second? I guess it'd still be useful if they were 4 range goons, because you could just move out of the way, and they wouldn't be able to shoot you. Yes that's right. You see the unit for a second. | ||

 I also, I'm not sure about this. but I think that an Observer with 1 site range would be pretty noticable, unless it's around your army I guess. But if you blind an Observer that's near my army (as opposed to somewhere on its own on the map) then I will be more likely to notice. | ||

rofl =D Another good use of blind would be vs z, 8 medics drop in his base to blind overlords (they also heal one another in case there are a few lings in the main) and then send in a bunch of cloaked wraiths. You kill his lair/spire/pool/den depending how long it will take him to react. Especially if he doesn't have the overlord speed upgrade to bring new overlords in he could get realy fucked up.. | ||

why use blind when you can use lockdown...? Not only do you ENSURE that you kill it, but it can be used against goonies and riers too, even when in a mass-group. seems like blind is more of a tvz oriented spell, and lockdown is tvp if you're really thinking it out like that... neither seems practical to me though, tg | ||
