IMO they should keep this and just get rid of maps with retardedly short rush distances, but hey, can't argue with blizzard wanting a 20 second stroll between mains.

Perhaps a noob question, but is there even a single map where you can block your choke with a single zealot? I've always used two for safety.

Only if you have buildling support. By himself a zealot will never block a primary choke point.

I'm really suprised no blizzard person has commented on this on the b.net forums.

i stopped this rush by terran wall-in on desert oasis (10depot 11rax)

but can imagine how its extremely difficult for protoss on small maps

you'd probably have to form a smaller choke with your pylon/gate

...which is impossible to do in less than 2mins on scrap station, gg

Do short games count against you? IE, could I just leave every game against a Zerg player and take no penalty?

Even if there was no early pool along with this somehow, the economic boost you could get from it would still be too strong. Hilarious 'oversight', if that's the case.

Yup. Leaving the game, even right when you load in = loss. Even purposefully disconnecting when you see you're playing against Zerg will result in a loss. The other person will load into the game and you will time out. They'll get a win and you'll get a loss.

They are not one to give out recognition. I've posted many suggestions and bug reports on their forums but they've all eventually been addressed. I just hope this one is timely.

Meh, I guess I'll just stay loyal to Protoss and if I get placed in copper I can only hope the system moves me up after this problem is fixed.

An example of winning vs. this strategy as Protoss on DO:

ftp://liquid:sc2replays@nubbe.mine.nu:21001/binjured/0.10/Zerg Larva Fail.SC2Replay

The only way I survived was with a proper 1-zeal block and micro to keep initial two zealots from dying until the third arrived. I feel like this would be sufficiently difficult to pull off on smaller maps or maps with large chokes that it would routinely fail.

Worth note, however, is how badly this hurts the Zerg economy such that if it fails, there's really no reason for the Zerg to keep playing. IIRC, his average resource rate was about half mine.

You can get the 12 lings faster if you skip the overlord and do the extractor trick.

Ok, cool, then they need to make it whenever there are any combination of eggs + larvae = 3 on a hatchery that it doesn't spawn more larvae


Say you have 4 eggs morphing and no larvae. You are making 4 ultralisks, so it takes a long time for them to be finished. For the whole duration of 75 seconds, the hatchery is not spawning new larvae. This would be silly, wouldn't it?

The best option is to just be able to cancel an egg within the time needed to spawn a new larva from the hatchery. I.e. if the time needed to spawn a new larva is 20 seconds, the ability to cancel a morphing egg is has to be removed after ~15 seconds (or at least some value under 20).


I don't see why they cant just let the larva mechanic work identical to how it worked in bw/pre patch 9

eggs are eggs (from hatcheries), larva is larva. You can have any combination of eggs + larvae (build and spawn times willing ofc) but your larva is never going to exceed 3.

If you have an egg morphing and 3 larva and cancel, you get no larva back. If you have 2 larva and 3 eggs morphing and cancel them all, you get 1 larva back. Queen eggs always refund larva

It's still a lot more forgiving than it ever was for zerg.


I'm just saying that if they want to change it so that you could cancel the morphing egg and get a larva back, the option that I proposed above makes sure you have a maximum of 3 larvae.



Dinkgus. This would make the queen quite useless, and force an early duel-hatch in base. Think about it:
the protoss now have cronoboost to help produce workers
the terran have Mules.
having 3 larve cap would throw zerg way behind in SC2.

This change was obviously made by Blizzard, not accidental.

Did they REALLY NOT see this coming?

Blizzard makes great games... but stuff like this really makes me question the ability of some of them...

And then there are the nublets here that argue that it's a good change EL OH EL.
It begins...

I am pretty sure that it is not intented by blizzard (I am saying about extra larva creation, not about canceling morphing egg back to larva)

They sometimes do make mistakes.

It only applies post-patch, so we can assume that it's a mistake

I guess this bug fits perfectly into the new model Blizzard has came up with for zergs: unlimited production anytime.
