How do SCVs repair flying units?

This is called a "counter". It's like when my scouting stalker sees a marauder and runs like a girl. Most things have counters in this game.

Lovin' these Terran tears.


I played the game and uploaded the video - it was the very first game right after the patch was done. I think the T player just didn't realize the change and "repair the PF" was his standard response (which worked pre-patch)

I think something like this is good, but the splash in the video is way too big.

Maybe a bit big, and it certainly does look kinda odd, but in principle (can't repair ultra-attacked buildings, and clumped buildings make ultras happy) this is excellent.

And yeah, if he knew about this he would've just moved his workers away. What a horrible thing to have to do

Ye, its hilarious. Terran has 5 ways to harass a expansion. Zerg had ZERO ways to harass terran expo with PF. Now there is a tier 3 unit that can do it, and all terrans here scream imbalance, its so god damn funny

Really? Zero? Do you play this game? Please don't make Zerg look bad.


Ok, enlighten me how im gonna kill or harass a PF with turrets around it, i would love to know. And dont say banelings, they die before they can scrach the scvs and prolly cost more then the PF to begin with.

Here is a tip from a zerg player

DON'T LET ULTRAS HIT YOUR BUILDINGS

you know what happens when zerg have thors and tanks hitting their buildings? We have already lost.

Ultralisks? Even before this change if you targeted SCVs you could slowly carve your way through the fortress. And you never specified turrets earlier either. Get one ultra to tank dmg and come in with some roach/hydra. Also you can use infestors to fungal SCVs before they start repairing.

I bet zealots are really scared of that 5 dmg/hit splash. TBH I wouldn't mind if ultralisk drops became the standard play in ZvZ...

Blizzard says it's an issue. Sigh. I guess that many Ultras are SUPPOSED to lose to a building being repaired.

`only reason people are complaining is because it "looks" dumb. But in reality its the perfect fix for the mass repair on PF issue. require 3 of the highest tiered zerg units to kill a PF and scvs, with no T army around? Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Much more reasonable than scvs surrounding the PF and all attacking units get raped hilariously.

what looks more dumb? 20 scvs and a PF owning a whole zerg army or ultralisks cleaving scvs that repair it? hmmm


How is it a fix for the mass repair? It takes one extreme and goes to the other. Previously you could not loose the PF with enough scv's repairing. Now you actually CAN'T repair it at all.

A fix would had been something in between. Who in their right mind will sacrifice 25 scv's that will die to splash in a few seconds? You simply won't repair PF's ever now against ultras. You will have to run and sack the expo instantly.


Sorry that PFs wont make you invincible for the entirety of the game anymore. If you lose your army and are unable to defend a PF, you SHOULD LOSE YOUR EXPO. Not be able to repair it and rape the surviving zerg army.

You are absolutely right, if you have NO ARMY, and zerg has ULTRAS, you better run your scvs away and expect to lose that expo. PF should be used in conjunction with an army for defense, not be a perfect defense in itself.

Welcome to the world of every other race that when they dont have a defending army they lose their base. The way it should be for every race. There is absolutely no way anyone could claim that this is imbalanced, looks silly yes, but imbalanced? No fucking way.


C'mon now, let's be fair.

If ultras just did their plain old regular splash, they'd still tear that PF apart. It would just require right clicking an SCV and letting the splash do the work.

What I saw in this vid was 1a2a3a pretty much, and as we all know from the tears about MMM balls, that's no damn good.

grow up? you (most zerg players) are the ones who have been QQing all this months and this is just nonsense and it is obviously going to be patched. Maybe a lesser radius or something)

Patch X:
"Splash now starts from the centre of the target rather than around the impact location"
Terrans: YAY TANKS ARE GOOD NOW THANKS BLIZZARD.
Patch 1.1. Ultras benefit from this now toss
Terrans: Blizzard, ffs fix this, this is bullshit.

Ah, I see. No double standards of course.

Now there are 2 ways to kill a planetary fortress. Banelings were the other one. This one is actually cost effective.
I think its a bit silly, but it seems fair considering how its otherwise impossible to kill a PF even WITHOUT army support.

i have a suggestion for the fix, just make it so whenever an ultralisk is within so much range on an scv the scv loses it's repair ability

Way to miss the point. That's the equivalent of saying "Tanks aren't OP just avoid them. Always. They are in your main, find a new one"

Let's not talk about balance and rather this particular mechanic shall we? If a solution to PT repair is needed this isn't the way to do it. We don't need gimmicks. At the moment this is just insane (not in terms of imba) but in terms of mechanics, gameplay, and logic.

You should give this patch some time, I mean it's barely out worldwide, and people are already claiming that x/y is overpowered/broken. Seriously just wait and see what are the consequences in-game before crying imbalance.


Lol, it has nothing to do with imbalance. You can clearly see that the Ultra's splash radius is 5 times bigger than it's stats suggest. I'm opposed to it because it is not intended, not because I think PF + repair should > everything.

Ultra - Building splash radius increased to 6

Somehow I missed that patch note?


Edit: sorry to say this, but are the guys at Blizzard morons? Do they have any internal patch testing at all? They're replacing the building ram attack with the standard Ultra attack and no-one is like ... 'guys, maybe we should test if it works?'

'Nah, man, we gotta polish the graphics some more'
I think esports is pretty nice.

We are currently aware of this issue and hope to have it resolved in a future patch.
