I added an orange line by the HP bars to indicate which ones were SCVs. Excluding the leftmost one, you tell me you can target those. :|

I might add that ultimately, the ability to pull insane micro is what differentiates players. In my opinion the game is already very noob-friendly compared to BW so further dumbing down the game would again lower the skill ceilling and would not be healthy for the pro scene, As a Z player I don't want to a-move my way to victory. Not exciting nor challenging. | ||

SCVs cannot repair anything that has been hit within the last one second. Breaking walls possible? Bunker rushes less powerful? Thor/Planetary fortress super regen gone? | ||

Normally the thor would be enough to drive the mutas off with minimal scv kills, with the change the terran would lose a lot of scvs Ding up against that first harass. Meaning thor would be a lot less useful and marines and turrets would be the only option. Offensively is another story but remember those are SCVs that aren't mining and will probably die in the push if the zerg defends properly. So it's still a trade off. A clutch tank being repaired is another example that would be weakened. True, but the rewards for sending that thor are way greater than the risks. Also, turrets and marines shut down mutas so hard (And are really cheap) that I don't think thors not being able to be repaired as easily will be that big of a deal. | ||

Right, because toss will always have storm and zerg will always have fungal growth when a thor shows up. Also, manually targetting scvs with melee units is a pain, because you'd have to have a small number attack each scv or they just dance around like idiots | ||

If you have infestors fungal works as does MC, but infestors are so late game that by the time it gets to that it's rarely a problem. I'd rather them patch things gameplay and strategy can't overcome. It's fine to have one race be a bit more micro intensive than another anyway (Terran SC1 anyone?) Edit: the zerglings dancing around like idiots does annoy me when I'm trying to attack a building--but once again this can be overcome by micro | ||

Still, if -all- the ultras went for repairing scvs it might result in other weird behavior, I don't think there is an easy fix. | ||

That way it also becomes a risk to bring 12 SCVs along for a repair party if half of them get blown up instantly by two blings. Generally the early "thor repair push" comes with marines anyway...

Seriously, if you guys want it to be super difficult for zerg to come out on top versus a Terran's 1A be my guest, I'm just trying to suggest things that would make it overall less frustrating and more balanced. | ||

Well, you try to micro against a thor rush as a zerg when you've done any fast expand build. It IS retarded. Micro should not be the solution here, it is just an unfair advantage. Not everyone is going to have 300 APM to deal with a thor-scv push, and yes, I am very nice. Think about what you're trying to say here before you say it and READ THE OP. This isn't about "You can micro to kill it." it's about you shouldn't have to micro to kill it. | ||
