Great to know! Finally found a way to take down PF's easily!

Its a cool trick and thing to note...but sadly, I can't see how this could be practical.

Could you medivac from one side of the PF to the other without it turning around?

i lol'd.

nice find, but too impractical to make use of in an actual game. i typically just avoid fighting them at all because even if your 20 food ahead and you engage you're likely to lose because that thing can take so many hits!

lol, cool trick. I guess it's worth knowing for that 1 in 1,000,000 game that ends up with like 4 zerglings vs a PF. Total useless otherwise.


I didn't think about this, but it would actually be a possibility. Planetary fortress are strong enough to create a stale mate. It's really the only situation I this trick being useful.
This road isn't leading anywhere...

actually i think this could be practical, but you need a unit with high hp and fast on creep so maybe a upgraded roach or for protoss a charglot. You send it in first so the planetary fortress only focuses on the roach running around it. Than send in the rest of your army. It won't work against better terran players because they'll just focus another unit, but this trick isn't all useless.

Lings need a speed nerf too. Too strong across various skill levels, and all that.

Totally. I think Terran is severly underpowered anyway. PFs should be able to detect cloaked units (and one-shot them), attack air, and their range should be upgraded to "anywhere on the map".

And I play as Protoss.

I predict Check.Prime wins the GSL with this trick and a new era of Zerg dominance will begin.

Seriously, though, I love the idea as well as the deadpan humor of the OP.

agree , they should run at the same speed that the queen off creep , after all the queen the mind master of the zerg ! why some minion would run faster that her ?

...

Would it not be easier to just contaminate the PF? Or that might not stop them fireing at you, i never tried it.

That would mean that the ling would have to run in front of the turret for that to work which is what it is trying not to do. That would just help him out even more.

if someone found a better way to exploit, more practical, then this might be useful. but then again, terran player can just control the PF if he saw something shady going around it.
