Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this half the reason why stacking workers before attacking with them is also effective (aside from the surrounding that happens of course)? I'm assuming for a split second while stacked all the workers attack at once.

i tested 6pool on xel naga w/ drones vs protoss wall..doesnt work. when you click their mineral patch they go away from the wall ..cant use this to rush. i imagine it's like that with every map as well since there's no ramp that's right next to main minerals


I tried the same. It didn't work on Xel'naga, but it did work on Steppes of War. So maybe it works for other maps with similar main base architecture.
i ez ur shit

btw you must have vision of the mineral patch youre clicking on in order for them to stay stacked. if not you can still do it if you keep spam right clicking on the patch before you attack the pylon..if you dont spam, plus dont have vision of the mineral patch, they'll just fan out

Shift click doesn't improve results, you have to manually time when drones collect and then attack, and click minerals right after attack again to reduce idle time. Maps with certain mineral field placements may make this trick not work if drone pathing doesn't stack them at ramp blockade.

Either way this trick is a fair response being cannoned and should probably stay in the game.

I wouldn't get rid of the neutral depots just yet. Overly fast low-ground wall-offs aren't solved by this.

I tried it on Typhon Peaks and it seems you can't use the natural expansion patches because the drones wander away. They seem to head to the place in the wall that is closest to the selected mineral patch. Using a patch on the opposite side of the map did the trick; it just requires a bit more finesse (camera hotkeys, shift-queuing on the minerals). This is still an amazing find in any case.

I hope this won't be patched, little tricks like this will be what makes the game closer to brood war and increases the general skillcap (this is true for most competitive games where most of the mechanics used by pros are unintended by the developpers, such as bunnyhops, sidejumps in FPS...ect)

They already got rid of fazing, archon toilet, mining faster, and a bunch of other things.

I don't think this will last

Wow... I'm totally blown away.
About 20% of my losses come from bunker and cannon wallins so this is like christmas and eastern together. ;D
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

This. I seem to remember that the other half of why the depots were placed was to keep (usually Terrans') two-building walloff from being possible on the low ground. Prevents early game scouting because a player couldn't get a worker there fast enough on big maps if they guessed wrong once.

That is quite the cool trick, though. +1 for you, sir.

OMG EPIC!

can't believe haven't seen people do this?

This is epic way so that now these cheesy wall offs won't be too strong anymore, imo it is good for the game. Now we don't need neutral depots all the time :D

So does this mean that zerg can safely 14 hatch against protoss now? Would this work on Tal Darim Altar against the 3-pylon wall off?

lol why didn't I think of this before, I saw this 'bug' or trick or w/e to call it happen so many times when u wanna transfer scv's but get forcefielded or something.

It's so obvious ^^

I think so.. yes. Unfortunatly, I don't think it does anything VS a well placed cannon behind your natural mineral line (the one blocked by pylons). I would still 15 pool ZvP because of that.
