So I don't practically see why you would a) manually attack a changeling with your blings if you saw it drop or b) why you would manually attack a changling that you didnt see drop (and hence looks like your own ling). Both seem unlikley. | ||

I think the Changeling is really fragile and the IA on the banelings wouldn't allow many of them to blow up at the same time. //tx | ||

Well I apologize then, for I was misinformed. However I do have a questions: Does the bling still attack automatically if the changling is dropped in sight but changes form before it is in range? Or do you have to time it exactly and have it attacked before it is morphed? | ||

I love his tactics, he is willing to try out anything. He is the Batman of Sc2. Proxy supply depot? Yeah he can make that work. | ||

If he was prepared for it he could probably attack-queue all of them and kill them quite fast I think CatZ would be the first to utilize this, he always does crazy stuff like this | ||

It will take time to realise wats happening (thats already several things dead) and will take a tiny bit to kill all 12 (more free stuff to destroy). Thats a pretty good harrass, and it cost you absolutely nothing. And thats assumng the opponnt does well. As you saw above, they epic failed, and can happen any game. more overseers also means more buildings/probes you kill. Also, if you killed an vital tech building, it cud be gg. Very creative, and its not that micro intensive or anything. I want to see a pro use this. I've seen MorroW at least attempt to use this in a few games. Definately unexplored tactic and interesting to see more of it. | ||

I think the difficulty of dealing with this is the fact that you'd need to individually attack each changeling once they're morphed. Plus with the Nydus worm example, the changelings just buy time for the Nydus to pop up and unload enough units. | ||
