Would be pretty amazing...but how often is your opponent not going to go "oh look...50 marines running to my ramp...".

Other than that, seems pretty good - if a bit gimmicky. >_>

I also think Dimaga purely because he's the only one on that list that would use such an obscure trick, the other players while possibly better overall than Dimaga would never have the guts to try something like that I don't think.

Units can pass through if you put them on patrol, hold command is harder to spot and blocks.

actually this is interseting, i wonder if it would be worth it to use changelings to help attacks like run them into the enemy lines and mess up their formation and not allow as many of them to attack at once.

When I first saw this post I thought "yeah right :\" but after seeing the videos I was actually impressed with how effective it was (even though the opponents seemed pretty bad).

The only problem is (especially in a pro game) when will you be able to dump that many resources into a ton of overseers while all they need is one detector to make the entire strategy useless?

I kinda doubt we will ever see this in high level play. But I do like it.

I think this could have been quite viable back when overseers pooped out infested terrans.
I get it.

I've won a game doing this with a single changeling. Toss had walled in his nat with only a single space for units to go through. After 66% of his army left, I moved hte changeling in front of it and put it on hold position. The rest of the army got stuck and never went through, he didn't notice. I barley won the fight... would have lost if the other third went through... so lucky... he was like "CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS!!!"

PS. This was in the beta.

I like how everyone in this thread had the exact same idea "just today" or "in a game this morning".

Yeah, sure.

this is dumb.

your points have nothing to do with your division. Only your rank in the division.

This is an old idea that has already been used many times. I've seen many top players use it in replays and I've used it myself. It's much more logical when in standard numbers though. 4-5 to block a ramp instead of trying to get a ton. It's just not worth the amount of micro/overseers needed when opponent can just queue attacks on them all.

Just maybe.


How would he kill you ? When you've blocked his army in his base and killed all his expansions you've got a big advantage ^^.



he kills you because his army is 500 min and 1000gas bigger, because you made 10 overseers.

I don't know why people think detection does anything at all to changelings. You need to manually click every single one to get rid of them, with or without detection, as it does nothing to affect them.

Who made 10 overseers ? If you ever made over 2-4 overseers it definately means you are food capped already, in which case blocking half or his whole army outside his base while you ravage it is nothing but positive.

This is somewhat related...

A few weeks ago I played a game where I Roach Nydused against Terran, and had burrowed 2 Infestors to spit some Infested Terrans to block his ramp (similar to the Changelings).

At my base, since I feared a counter, I had 3 Overseers ready at my ramp to do the Changeling block defensively, at least to buy time to fall back with my Roaches via Nydus. The counter never came but I think it would have been a good move.

The idiots in this thread severely underestimate the importance of positioning in battles. A considerably less obvious use of this strategy is to take a SINGLE overseer and a SINGLE changeling and place it ON the ramp in hold positioning, effectively blocking off only half of the ramp. Time this *exactly* as you move in for an attack on the expansion. Even if you force the army to trickle past you for a mere second (assuming a player literally sees the changeling, responds, and attacks it), it could result in several free unit kills if you have setup even a half concave outside of his ramp. Positioning is what wins and loses tournaments as we've seen over and over, and even slight hiccups in positioning can greatly affect the outcome of a battle.
