So you think pros dont know how to click on changelings? i dont understand how anyone could see this as viable at a high level. You present this in such a way that you seem to think zerg actually can use this as a forcefield without seeing the flaws in that logic. You dont need detection for them and theyre incredibly easy to spot, and even if you can manage to get them into an advantageous position they can all be individually clicked on in like under a second while zerg may be in a position where he would have greatly profited from getting overlord speed rather than overseers. If this became a "thing" players would be aware of it, and it would be nullified. It is however very cute. | ||

ABOVE that, you'll never see a protoss use 4 zealots to block a ramp. Neat, but useless. Well, it has already been used. Missing 1 changeling is something even pros can do. | ||

Not sure how often you will see an archon sitting next to ramp as the unit is already virtually never used. Making one to kill changelings certainly wouldn't be worth it. | ||

I mean, the Photon Cannons should have detected the Changeling as being a Changeling... therefore, if he had A-moved, he would have one-shotted all the Changelings, and just marched up to his main. You have to manually order anything that can kill units to kill changelings, but they can be seen by simply clicking on them. However, your units will never kill one without your intervention. | ||

Also, yesterday, he used like 3 changelings to do the same thing, which bought his mutas enough time to snipe a key tech structure! :D :D gogo SLush! | ||

"Overseer Morph cost decreased from 50/100 to 50/50." This tactic and others derived from it are now 50% more cost effective. 4 overseers for 200 gas. 2 for 100. We might even see mass changeling fields used in battles to cut off retreating units and stuff like that since they are so cheap now. | ||
