Wonder why Blizzard just does not fix what it seems like a bug, but with this workaround at least we can ignore it! Many thanks, really didn't thought about it.

As a zerg player, I approve this tactic.

As for the above comment about this being a bug, if I may be so bold I wish to disagree. Bunkers can already be salvaged but to be unable to kill the scv building the free bunker would just be plain silly. Terran exist to be harassed.

That is all.

I CAN DELAY THE FIRST BARRACKS. OH YEAH!

In all seriousness though, this is very good new discovery, and I shall forever use it against the enemy workers.

Maybe because of this, there will be other shift-click discoveries! Awesome!

Thank you! I'm starting to get the hang of holding off 2 rax + bunker rushes by saving larva for lings, but this SCV-killing trick will save a ton of headaches

wow this is awesome

Edit: can't believe this wasn't found earlier for defending bunker rushes with drones

Just to clarify this: You have to queue attack commands on the SCV?! Does it also work if you queue up attack commands around the building? The building SCV should still be in range and therefore be prioritized over the building itself.

I think Malhavoc meant that the losing of the target, which led to this shift-clicking method, is the bug. As such, I whole-heartedly agree with you both. Blocking walls and harassing SCVs is fun.

Delightful. I also remember hearing about a Z strat where (this will be rough, as it's from memory) you get a fairly earlyish pool (~10), but at around 8 supply you send out 3-4 of your drones to the terran base with the goal of delaying the building SCVs as long as possible. Essentially you're delaying a 6 pool slightly in favour of getting drones in his face straight away. It might just be time to go and try that strategy out.... >

I HATE IT

Still, you should always send your SCV to defend the working one before he gets there anyway (or maybe all my opponents did this trick anyway), so it doesn't really have an impact. And my bunker rushes are being dealt with very well recently anyway, so I'm going for hellion openings again.

Very nice, one less thing to worry about when my omg-there-is-a-bunker-right-outside-my-base-what-do-i-do-what-do-i-do panic sets in.
When I die i am going to have the tetris theme played at my funeral just as my coffin is being lowered into the ground, and preferably it should be shaped in the most annoying shape possible.

I'll be the downer of the thread.... screw you all who do this! No, seriously (I am allowed an opinion). It hurts as it is to pull 1-2 SCV to defend, even then losing my building SCV. I don't understand the balance-related thought that went into this. "Protoss and Zerg buildings can build fine, but let's make it possible for Terran's buildings to stop constructing halfway through!"

Why can't we target the little floating ovarie inside Zerg buildings, or somehow interfere with the warping transportation sequence of a protoss building?

sadface

EDIT: And don't tell me "Oh yea? Well protoss buildings need a pylon! And Zerg needs creep!" Because you're right and I won't listen to you I'll just turn my music up louder because I'm only writing all of this because I needed to rant, and killing my constructing SCV delays my whole build 5-10 seconds and thus is potentially game changing. So there. Screw you. Okay bye

NINJA DOUBLE EDIT: And whatever you do, don't pull more than one worker to harass early on against constructing SCV, because Terran is only 45hp away from a completely delated build order when you kill that first SCV! That would be too imbalanced so you should probably stick to a macro game and I promise you (not speaking for other Terrans) not to bunker rush you. Deal? Okay. Have a [not] nice day.


I'm sorry but it's not that difficult to deal with. If you lose an SCV to a scouting worker you've messed up. If your SCV stays in an exposed spot for a while realize that you're going to have to stop construction and pick up with a fresh SCV. Send 2 scv's, one to harass the other scout, one to pick up construction, send the injured worker back to the line. You lose a small amount of mining time but it's better than losing a worker. The real key is to be thinking about 10 seconds ahead, you have to make a judgement call answer to the question "will he kill or be in position to kill my building scv in 10 seconds" if the answer is yes, send 2 workers right away, if no, then you can probably get away with sending just one.

I've killed both scouts who were harassing my building SCVs in a 2s match without losing a single SCV (made me feel pro, too bad we badly lost that game).

Hahaha nice!!!

thank u so much!
No more bunker rushed due to not watching.

And the best: Get the early shit back to Terran: pull 2 or 3 workers and attack Barracks constructing SCV!
