Question to those that support this: I'd like to hear how this makes the metagame more interesting and makes the range of options following a successful use of this exploit more interesting. The only reason I haven't rushed to say that it should be eliminated is that I haven't seen it yet and haven't been able to gauge whether or not it's a "you should quit if this works" or an "it changes the game but has numerous valid counters" situation. If it decreases the number of viable options in early-game matchups against a Protoss, then it should be fixed.

so basically you said "i have no idea what the fuck im talking about but in bw this went unfixed so it should stay", srsly, gtfo

its not hard to pull off, it doesnt require any additional micro, you just have to pick the right spot for your probe to be in

im simply amazed how many ppl think this should stay in the game for the sole reason that it was possible in BW

BW was the better game so sc2 should emulate it as much as possible.

By that logic, we'd still be stuck on Pong.

And, big deal. If a player truly wanted to have vision of the high ground and to make more cannons, he can just wall it in and bring another to make a cannon on the low ground. I used to do this a lot before rediscovering the trick. You guys qq too much.

Protoss.already has few early game choices for pressure.and.this.is.sort of their 2 rax rine counter to an early expo, leave it because if its not effective the toss is behind.so much.=

saw that today for the first time and i was like wtf. Highly epic. Would love to see some hellion pushing through with the help of a landing barracks *g*, but i guess its only working with workers in sc2.

should stay in game imo, because it only makes a canon rush more fun to watch. They are really easy to stop anyway.

I don't get why people think units should be able to move thru a solid wall. How is that not a bug?

So far the reasons I've seen are:
1. You can do it in broodwar.
2. Protoss be so far behind if they cannon rush and can't do this glitch.
3. Omg, you nub just get better at the game and it won't work.
4. It's not a bug, cause drone floating in BW was totally didn't get patched out.

In all reality, I could do counter point for all these arguments but that's just petty. I merely would point out this reminds me of drone floating which I abused the hell out of but it did get patched out. Pathing will always be a issue in RTS and it will be abused. It should be removed since you do not normally expect a probe to be able to move thru a solid wall since it's not one of the abilities of a probe. This shouldn't be a high priority for the patches but it should be address within the year(s?).

Its not a bug though.

Any Probe that gets stuck where it should not be able to exist will find the closest path it can out of the wall of buildings. But it will only go a path that's adjacent to a structure. So you won't be getting any Probes through mineral lines or through rocks. You could potentially get one through another player's wall though, but it would be blatantly obvious and would require multiple Pylons to do so.

Neither of those are relevant to what I'm talking about. Before trying to be a total dickwad, make sure you actually know what you're talking about, ok?

Here, I'll try to make it clear for you. Typically when people cannon rushed the wall, they did not have vision above. Now the cannons can shoot above with sight. On top of that, doing the cannon rush at the ramp previously made people play blind. Now that they can scout the opponent's build order, they can react much, much sooner and play significantly more optimally.

Neither of these are related to what you're talking about, unless you're suggesting that it allows the person cannon rushing to read your build order via scouting. However, by your post, that's clearly irrelevant. Toodles.

Yep totally terrible. Remove it, please. The pylon wallin abuse is incredibly stupid anyway and shouldn't happen, then add in a one-way entrance possibility that's impossible to fail after 30 seconds of practice and it's as stupid as it gets.

Oh yeah, and to the people saying it was in BW, well you couldn't completely block a ramp with just 2 pylons. If that same possibility had been in SCBW I could almost guarantee you it would be banned. The mineral cargo trick was a bug and it was banned because it was too powerful, same thing here really.

I firmly believe that the probe is the most imba unit in the game. I'm not joking. It can do ridiculous stuff like this, infinitely harrass a person, etc. etc.... NERF PROBE PLEASE

You guys have to stop using the "it was in BW so it should be kept" excuse.

However, I do agree that this should be kept. This is harmless, and 2 probes were sent for the cannon rush anyway. A strong cannon rush could easily be accomplished by sending a probe up the ramp and having the other one build behind the ramp.

if it is a bug and it's not intended, they would've fixed it by now

someone mention the quirks aspect and how its part of the game a good comparison would be BxR and BxB and other types of things from Halo2 they were known bugs but were allowed in the competitive scene because they were balance and added something to the game

... Okay bro, you've obviously not played SC1 before. It's a mechanic that we all enjoy has been used countless times for scouting and other ulterior motives. Stop being a freaking whiner and get over it.
