And I have little knowledge about Pong, but even if it was theonly game during its time, best != only. | ||

You're trying to destroy the thriving Pong e-sports community with your hateful banter. | ||

This trick is a BW staple, and it would honestly kill me to see it removed. They already took our muta micro and macro, please god, don't take the pylon trick ): | ||

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. Doesn't make it not a bug - units not supposed to be able to move through buildings placed next to each other. Feature can be bypassed (unintentionally) by making a pylon and canceling. Not saying it's not a "good bug" but a bug nonetheless. | ||

 and spending hours with my friends trying to figure out all the map glitches in the first halo. more recently trying to keep up with the latest glitches in mw2. as long as its not game breaking it just adds more charm. like a wrinkle on an old seaman's face. any game that is dearly loved will be exploited and this just endears it more in our hearts. | ||

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. what? SCOUTING prevents cheeses like this there is also called a BO loss if you fail to scout properly .. Good players scouts their areas to prevent cheeses. and there is also that one thing called luck, lets say a 4-player map, i scouted you early and you scouted me way later, by then you couldn't have known my strat when i already made my cheese build. same thing applies to all cheeses. if you lost, your just a weaker player in the match (or the unlucky player) there are also blind counter .. this is RTS you adapt to situations and the unforeseen consequences of your actions (wrong scouting). | ||

Oh but it's not a bug, it's working as intended: the colossus is spawning right where there's empty space! And to everyone saying we could do it in BW as an argument: it is utterly irrelevant that a bug was unpatched in another game. (yes, even if that 12 years old game is its predecessor) | ||

Pong rules. and this matters why? it only was so big cause there was like nothing else during that time. pong is a bad and one dimensional game. there is nothing in any way special about it except that existed at a very early time. comparing that to broodwar which after 12 years is still the single best multiplayer RTS and one of the best single player ones just doesnt work. pong is lame and a remake would be a huge fail. bw is genius and a remake would own the vast majority of new games made. different storys | ||

Obviously the 'it worked in BW' argument is not a justification for anything, it's a different game with different mechanics and what's balanced in one game might not be balanced in another. Having said that, the 'it wasn't intended' argument is equally stupid because there are tons of unintentional side effects of the game mechanics that people have discovered in this game that get used all the time without issue (e.g. mutalisk magic box technique). The only thing that actually should be discussed is whether this is overpowered and whether it takes away from the overall dynamics of the game - at this stage I think it's probably too early to tell. | ||
