EPTalthough, I expect blizzard to patch this out. but imo, it shouldn't be patched out unless there is some unstoppable bullshit it does. (which doesn't seem to be the case)

I'm gonna try this on the ladder later (1600~ platinum EU) and see if there is some way I can do this 1v1. I'm thinking terrans could have trouble with this if it goes unscouted. Maybe vs a passive port build this could work. I find the notion of saving up 300 mins early vs terran extremely risky as they have 5-6 harassment builds that will crush you if your build is not spot on. Anyway I don't think the offensive spine crawlers makes as much sense as just blocking expansions but it could be useful. | ||

Here is a replay that includes an inbase hatch-cancel crawler + ling harass transitioning to baneling / crawler bust via queen proxy tumors. | ||

(which doesn't seem to be the case) They won't patch it out, since the Hatch requires the creep underneath it to not lose health. They would have to program it so that the hatchery doesn't "burn" when there is no creep. | ||

I mean, they help travel times, but does that help in battles? | ||

they are slow as hell, but the queen is also, and without the need of building them near the opponent the harrass could start right away even if he sees the queen. only putting down the creep tumor might still be problem | ||

They would have to program it so that the hatchery doesn't "burn" when there is no creep. I guarantee you they could make this change in about 10 seconds if they wanted to. They would probably have to change one or two lines of code. The hatchery is a creep producer. There is no reason for it to ever suffer damage from lack of creep, thus there is no need to include it in the class of creep-dependent buildings. There's nothing tricky about this kind of programming. It's just a rule. There's no problem solving involved in implementing it. You just decide what you want and put in a flag or conditional. Easiest thing in the world to change. | ||

How is it so much worse than proxy cannons or bunker-rushes, which are FAR easier to do? If sunkens were ultra overpowered I guess there would be a problem, but then the problem wouldn't be about proxy-sunkens, but simply about sunkens in general. I short: There is no problem in this, it's just a cheese. Lrn2LiveWithIt. | ||
