[image loading]

then you use extracter trick to get another 4 lings as second wave.

Also you could bring your drones together.


The point is the player must go extreme early defense, otherwise they cant affoad the result.
but if zerg player go roaches rush/baneing or whatever standard playing style instead of 6pool, there is no chance you could stop that, cuz you already sacrifice too much economy

Never seen a protoss player able to stop it, unless I made a huge mistake (like accidently letting the drone get built).


This is why it needs to be fixed

I've played 2 games against zerg in plat and both players did it on a 4 player map. They correctly scouted me with their overlord.

The first time I scouted it i was like lol 6 pool my zealot will crush him. Then 10 lings and 6 drones came and I got destroyed.

A couple games later I played another zerg and I scouted him first so I built 2 gateways at my choke with a small gap. As the zerglings came in I realized that I couldn't get my zealot out in time so I built a pylon in the gap. I had to pull all my probes and use my zealot to kill my pylon so he wouldn't take out my gateways.

He ended up killing all but 4 probes and I was able to hold him off through roaches but then he got mutas and I was too far in with immortals.

I think next time it happens I will be better off and might come off on top but if he scouts me first and I don't get a scout then I guess I"ll just have to plan for it without sight which will put my core and gas back if he does something standard

the solution to fix this but keep the feature in is very very simple:
if there are ever any more than 3 larvae at a hatchery, kill extraneous larvae till it's down to 3. Exception is if the larvae spawned from Queen's Spawn Larvae ability.

Doesn't work. You could start your first three zergling eggs from larvae, then cancel two drone eggs and start two more zergling eggs.

it can be stopped very easily as terran. all you do is wall in early and build a bunk. same with toss, wall in ur choke and build a cannon.

of course if the zerg can somehow get in then just GG right then and there. there will be no way in hell u can stop it or recover from it if the lings manage to get inside ur base. even of all the lings die the zerg can just set up a expansion since there is a near 100% your economy will be destroyed.

im sure it will defiantly be patched in patch 10 and im certain this is why larva was destroyed when you canceled a egg.


It can be stopped but in order to do that you have to sacrifice massive amount of economy, that means on 4 player maps its basically a guessing game if you win, cause if you defend against the rush and they expo its GG there too.


What's the point of trying to metagame this? It's not a cheese, it's a bug/exploit.

Not necessarily. Leaving it in and balancing around it is always an option.

What's more Starcraft than a zergling rush?


That completely unrealistic belief is basically what some people are wasting their time doing here. And let me be clear that I consider people suggesting fixes to the bug are completely separate and much more productive group.

For now it's more of a short-lived exercise in adaptivity.

A guy tried this vs me on scrap station, before I even knew it was possible. He picked off my scouting probe and i was like WTF thats a lot of zerglings fast. Luckily i went forge first, spawned 2 canons and walled off except a narrow gap which i filled with workers and plugged the gap with hold fire till the canons came online. Then i totally walled off and went dual starport and raped him with mass zealots & phoenix's (as i knew his econ had to be screwed with such a lack of drones.

As protoss you literally have to wall in and tower before you scout.. building forge before gateway. If zerg is doing the rush, it'll be a close game; if he plays standard then you are screwed

people are behaving like sc2 is finished... the beta is for rooting out idiotic game mechanics and hopefully bring balance to the game before it is launched. Now this larvae bug is clearly op and will no doubt get fixed somehow, but I liked blizzards intention of making zerg able to cancel units without cost just as the other races.

I am more concerned with the extremely careful balance changes coming out, imo they should try to listen to the players a bit more and see how nerfing the marauder and forcefield would work out instead of just tweaking build times and upgrades. They should also look closer upon the units we almost never see.. like the ultralisk or the archon and actually make them worth producing.

If you are a zerg player that enjoys exploiting this bug, have fun. Because within the next 12 hours, Blizzard will have hotfixed this.

a compromise could be reached where you can cancel a unit within 5 seconds of building it and get back your larvae or else it dies if you cancel.

this would fix the problem seen in SC BW where you double tap S and get scourge you have no use for, etc

Bug is something that is not intentional.. This is intentional behavior but unintentional strategy from it.

Ok people, the issue is not whether it's stoppable or not.

Zerg can CANCEL eggs, with no negative repercussions. You can power drones the entire game, and cancel eggs when you find out you need that larva to be an attacking unit instead.

THAT is why I'm just going to practice PvT and PvP for a while. It's just such a retarded mechanic. The fact that the devs would even consider this as an option to begin with makes me afraid for sc2.
Until I write you again, take care of your precious person.
