I can confirm that hold position works. That is, if after you hold, you're actually in range with melee attacks.

Please do make repairing SCVs the highest priority so that every terran will do unbeatable all-ins every game with 15 self repairing SCVs coming with the various attacks

An easier idea would probably be just to limit the amount of scvs who can repair a specific unit at any one time. Maybe three for a thor, six for a PF, etc. That gets rid of both the surround issue and the "thor + repairz = GodMode" occurrences.


This is a great idea, and it would eliminate the alamo PF. I'm watching Trump's stream and it's painful to see a single planetary fortress withstand a large roach and broodlord army.

edit: Now that I think more about it, this would also never happen. The amount of scvs repairing a structure or unit won't be limited. I'm still for making repairing scvs a high priority to attack.


nah, i'm zerg, but that's no fun for terran. i don't like taking things out that are fun.

I'm Zerg and I love the challenge of countering repairing SCVs.



This is the one impulse that is absolutely mind numbingly stupid in the SC community. Some of you demand that the game be poorly designed just so that it is harder. It doesnt matter what your APM is, the current auto repair function is poorly designed. Up to and including the inability to target SCV's that are obscured by the object they are repairing.

Fixing shit gameplay > your view of "skill".

I'll take that, 15 free SCV kills every time you attack, that sounds awesome.

the morons saying that auto repair is good but auto targeting is bad are hypocrites. you can't have your cake and eat it too. eliminate auto repair or just give svcs the same priority. it's fucking simple.

so when my lings surrounded the thor and I press hold position, the lings destroy the scvs?

The problem with hold position though is that you lose some time before they decide to attack anything, plus if his workers ever decide to a-move, you need to a-move as well, otherwise your lings will keep attacking the Nexus and the probes will kill them 2-3 at a time with their superior surround.

If done to a Thor surround, it's also sketchy because your other lings won't fill the holes when the first ones fall, and they fall fast.

Plus, it's obviously a bad fix to something that serves no purpose in the first place, at least for melee/short ranged units.
