Pretty creative/interesting idea. Don't know how viable/how often it would come up in a high-level game though.

I think there's a lot of hindsight bias in this thread. People read the theory and are focused on the theory, so go "Oh I'd notice that if it happened. NOT VIABLE."

I think in a real ladder scenario, it has it's niche moments, and when it's possible it could be pretty effective.


its not viable 99% of the time though.

dont you think someone is going to think something is up when 5 overseers are flying around his base? Or when 5 units are running at his choke on the minimap (plus the cnangelings would die much faster this way) ? Even assuming he didnt, and your changeling wall kept him in his base for an extra 20 seconds, you just spent a huge amount of gas on overseers, so your going to have a crappy army, so after that 20 seconds of loltime, if he rolls out you are dead. if you kill his nat with this he will attack right away and you die.

a 1 changeling block is worthwhile sometimes, but mass overseers is just something to do against bad players.

This was already used in a pro Korean game. In ZvP the Protoss had walled off with a little gap for a Zealot. Late in the game when both players had an expo (Metalopolis) the Zerg player used a changeling to block the gap while he Nydus'd into the main and wreaked havoc.

It was awesome.

It was similar to the vid shown before.

doom drop while doing this to the guys main ramp seems to be a extremly good strat considering his army is prob at his third / natural.

this will also buy extra time to snipe the tech building that hard counters your unit mix.

and ye voted dimaga cause he is always up for trying crazy shit, but hoping for IdrA in the gsl or something and shock everyone like he did with the whole magic box trick.

I think I saw Artosis use this in some of his games way back in beta, not mass changelings tho, just a couple of them and it worked fine because toss player didn't notice it so his units got stuck on the LT ramp
Not sure about how good this would be vs someone good :D

Some dude did it to me in a PvZ on a tournament (not sure if it was Zotac). Though it was only 8 of those changelings, you have to attack them manually to kill them. By that, 4 of my chargelots got stuck and were sniped by hydras - for a basicly free unit from an overseer not bad at all right?

Never ever seen it again though, would love to see that as a major game element since Overseer spells are hardcore underused imo!

EDIT: to clarify: this was in a bigger battle where he used his anyway free-changelots to distract my actual force
Team LifeStyle - it's more than a game

One day in a TVZ some Z will have alot of gas and make 5 overseers. It is only a matter of TIME.

its all about winning time.. it will take time for the opponent to kill them specially if u get him by surprise and in that time you can make lot of damage

I think the enemy will have expanded and will notice any changelings coming in, plus they usually rally the army outside.

Block the ramp and nydus / drop inside his main then. Same concept.
