I'm getting really sick of people comparing every single glitch they find to Move-shot, Hold-lurkers, and Muta-stacking. They seem to be forgetting that for every little semi-glitch mechanic they left in, they've removed half a dozen others. Remember when you could land a building and roll Siege Tanks under them and siege them up before the building finished landing so they would be inside the building? Remember when you could surround a Drone in a corner so it couldn't move and then tell it to build somewhere on the map and the building would spontaneously start building there?

What Bliz decides to leave in the game as a nifty trick, and what they decide tilts the scales too much is their decision. I thought it was a good find and it was fun to mess around with, but you really don't have to cry about every little thing they fix.

No, there is good reason people are "crying". People played the game, and finally discovered some Micro tricks you can do. Like Fazing, or the Snipe stuff with Ghosts. But as soon as these tricks are found, Blizzard takes them out. Thus far, it seems like they don't want to leave anything in the game as a "nifty trick".

Super disappointed they removed it here as well that was pretty much the only things VRs had left, now VR harass is almost pointless lol.

Too bad they removed this. As anyone who has tried it knows - it's difficult at best to pull off while macroing and microing your other units. It would have been another way to add depth and skill to the game. I'd like to see them add it back.

someone hit someone in the face for this pls, not usually my way but i'm a bit pissed right now. i not even protoss -.-
lets make all units like the pheonix so we dont have to do anything anymore. I just don't understand? Noobs will never enconter this and pro's need something to do! Nice to know they are working on bugs that melt gfx cards rather than removing stuff that adds depth to the game. OH WAIT!

Have anyone tried if you can faze while charged? A guy earlier in the thread said that they only removed fazing while uncharged.

now that you mention it :D i think thats exactly what happened to me in a 2v2 where i got like 200 voidrays and could only faze with the charged ones... still stupid

who needs to faze with a charged voidray? i need it to fight of 3 marines when i enter the base not when i have already charged up...

You were able to faze with a charged VR in the last patch of the Beta. Fazing was always useful because you are doubling your damage output. Even though you could win the fight without fazing, you could win with more HP leftover with fazing.

they are still pretty decent but yea, that they removed this was pretty much just sad. It didnt break the game but then again it was not needed for voidrays to have this.

This was obviously a bug and I am surprised they took so long to fix it. If you can still do it while they are charged i hope they patch that very soon too.

Without tricks like this Pro-games will be superboring to watch. Wc3 has a million of those "little tricks" that really puts depth in the game and differs the real pros from the ordinary people, Blademaster windwalk jumping, tower-build-jumping, zepeline-staffing to name a few.
Here's a video to prove my point.


Then of course Warcraft 3 has a lot of more variations possible with hereos, items and all that good stuff, but I really think SC2 would just do good with some of these small tricks that can really make the pros stand out, more than just with superb macro/micro.

I'm actually afraid to do tricks because I fear it will be shared to everyone and patched by Blizzard.

None of those were bugs.

all those tricks anyone can do. At the highest level. Its more about having an amazing awareness and knowing Exactly what your units should be doing.. every single one of them.
