EPTAs we all know, SCVs are normally incapable of self repair. Under normal circumstances an SCV can't target itself for repair. However, due to the nature of the relationship between Auto-Repair and a bunker, it's fairly easy to overcome this. When placing an SCV with auto-repair on inside of a bunker, the SCV is able to repair itself (this is due to the fact that SCVs are able to target any unit inside a bunker when also inside a bunker). The repair still costs minerals, but you can use this trick to keep and SCV alive longer during a bunker push!

And no, this probably won't be patched because blizzard took the obligation to go ahead and make it normal cost so if they decided to buff it, why would they remove it? + Show Spoiler + totally didn't read op, whatever haha | ||
