Anyways all you have to do is drop creep directly on top of a planetary fortress with an overlord then run around it with a ling, attacking it every once in a while. I estimate it would only take around 15 or 20 minutes to bring down a planetary fortress with a 3-0 adrenal gland ling.

As long as a player has sufficient micro to pull this off, planetary fortresses should no longer pose any threat. I think this could even become a hallmark of high level play, where a player micro's against a planetary for 5 minutes straight while still having to macro in his base.


See... new tactics like this one reveal the fact that there never was any racial imbalance at all. Blizzard got it all right completely in the first attempt! Well... I suppose they might need to nerf lings now, but they almost got it perfect!

Terran are the plague!

zergling imba!

to fix this, I think we need to increase the rate of fire and damage of a PF by 50%

That's totally in line with:
- Planetary Fortress build time decreased from 50 to 40 seconds.
So the fake patch notes must be real!

Diamondbacks would have made excellent run-around units to battle PF.

neat trick, but lets be realistic here please... no one is gonna use this in a real game... lol

people would rather just macro up a shitfuck more lings and overrun the PF..

this would work great with things with less hp though! like the flamethrower turret thing in the singleplayer.. people could just micro around that if it moves too slow..

its like rine vs lurker micro... very effective, takes advantage of the lurkers's slow spokes, but only useful because it takes like 5-10 seconds to complete.. not like 5 min to take down a CC... which can easily be repaired.... and has a big ass canon mounted on top that will fuck you up if you mess up... (especially considering its an sc2 ling, not a bw ling)

Best post in the thread. I was having so much trouble in singleplayer before this shining light of knowledge showed me the true path. And all the people saying this trick is awesome. Only pedo bear has truely thought through this strategy and examined any possible weakness's. If you are actually having trouble with planatary fortresses, as he says the true coutner is a shitfuck more lings.

there's also this nice trick with a zealot:
charge the PF, hit it once, back, wait for the shields to go back up, and repeat!
Let's name this after me guys, ok?!

would the PF follow the one ling if other targets appear, if yes this could be actualy useful. Just send the ling first and once the PF starts following it send the rest of your army and return to microing it
