If zerg had lurkers however, this would be a different story ^^ | ||

Here, you are getting rid of a creep tumor and trading it for hellion HP (and very few minerals repairing them). It's not a good trade. Creep tumors are free. It will only cost the zerg the attention it takes to move a queen over and poop a tumor out. Attention is the only thing it costs, and as the terran you'll be spending more attention getting rid of the creep tumor than the zerg would recovering it There's also absolutely no pressing need to get rid of the tumor right away. It's not like a lurker killing your natural, where the sooner you get rid of it, the sooner you can mine. If you absolutely had to go on creep NOW in order to exploit a certain timing window, and you really want to get rid of creep tumors, you're not gonna take your sweet ass time waiting on a hellion to shoot 7 times. The only two times I can think of where you absolutely have to get rid of the creep tumor and you can't wait on a raven or a scan is if he's 1) creeped into your natural and you can't land your CC 2) zerg used queen drops to poop inside your base. If that's happening, you're probably so behind that you might as well do the cute hellion trick and feel good about yourself | ||

your example shows 1 creep tumor with no creep around it making it very easy to just go to the center in the real game, you'll just be killing your own units | ||

this idea is cute, but it's stupid. do you ever see yourself taking the time out of a game to find the exact center of a creep patch, bring 2 hellions out, have them attack each other, hope no speedlings run out to kill them, and then driving them back home and taking scvs off of mining and spending minerals to heal them JUST TO KILL ONE CREEP TUMOR? | ||

Or you can float a building and move over the creep so you see where exactly it is. Anyway someone already posted such creep tumor killing this like few months ago. | ||

Wow, now I can spend money on a building to float over tumors to see them, just so I can then hurt my own units and spend more money to repair them, all while not mining with the SCV's that are repairing, when I could have just scanned instead to do the same thing. Not really seeing much upside to this strat to be honest. | ||
