I thought of this in beta but quickly realized that it wasn't viable due to that they can be killed, at most it will just slow down opponents so little it wont be noticeable unless you throw down like 10+ of them which you shouldn't be able to afford anyways.

I can see this actually working against a protoss who walls with a 1 unit hole. If you warp in units and rally them to the spot they are needed, you aren't going to babysit them along the way.

I think this is true but then again... it'll only work for such and such rank, etc. Higher level players will probably find ways around it (are changelings in mass effected by splash damage? If so collossus/Tank/Hellion ftl.)

Epic, all i can say, never though of doing this exaclty, seems like it would useful on pretty much any map with small chokes, as long as u have a decent muta count.

I used it to block a rally point so he kept looking for his 3 tanks and dozen marines while came barreling into his nat. By the time he found his tanks and tried to seige i had already closed the position. When it gets to late game and your opponent is doing 140 different things at once checking blocked rallies isn't something that crosses his mind.

You can waypoint your changelings into position on a ramp while you attack to make it less noticable due to your enemy being preoccupied trying to take down your attacking forces. He won't notice that his units aren't moving quickly. I also saw Morrow use this in a game where he made about 15 changelings, lined them up and moved into an enemy army and pressed hold. This made a changefield between him and his army and none of the enemies melee units could pass it. Another use for Changefield ^^.

Who doesnt notice 20 changelings walking into their base? This might work against bad players.

It's a cool idea but realistically if you ever tried this in a decent league it would fail hard.. Anyone who isn't a noob would know to kill them the second they saw 20 units running up.

I brought up the possiblity of this about three months ago http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=151011 and have read a couple more threads about this too but haven't seen any general interest in this topic until now. Good on you for bringing it up and I hope this tactic will be used more often now.

That heavily depends on you having your colossus at your ramp and them being in a horizontal line.

Looked like Morrow tried to use it in their epic match on Metalopolis in the SC2 Reddit tournament the other day. Recommend everyone watched that game ( and series ). Some of the most epic games ever.
