doing some testing, +1 melee allows 4 banelings to bust a zealot rather than 5. Also if a terran has a rax sandwiched in between two supplies, if you target the rax both supplies will get hit, 5 banelings can potentially destroy 2 supplies or 1 supply and an add-on in one.

seems like a bug or unintended consequence, and hopefully it will be fixed. there's no benefit to leave it in the game, and it breaks early game zvp

I posted this on the blizz forum in the PTR section since this seems to be their test bed.

I'm on my iPhone so I will update the OP there to give credit to stratos and the op of this thread when I get to a comp at the airport right now lol. I just copied and pasted to get the info out on those forums. No intention of making it seem that I discovered this.

So...now I am legitimately afraid for PvZ and getting 6 pooled every single game...Sigh...Good call though. I might stick with Terran for now then...Seeing as how this got 13 pages within the first day of posting, it seems that many people have noticed it and will exploit it.

Most methods of dealing with 6 pool do not involve relying on the zealot block because the zerglings get there before you could possibely have a zealot out. Usually it involves building + cannon or building into zealots blocks.

6 pool shows up before the first zealot is out so it does not really change how a toss defends 6 pool. It is however a matchup changing/breaking bug. I play zerg, but i really dont want a bug like this around. Goodbye protoss tech plays.

hmm, the thing is that you would probably lose just as many ligs if you attacked the zealot instead of trying to glitch past it...

I don't know how people can take enjoyment out of 5 minute games... even if you win with something like this, how can you take any joy out of it? It's not like you out-played your opponent..

I'm pretty sure that if you just spam hold and/or stop you should/might be okay. The game engine puts your unit onto some sort of stopped attack, which you can interrupt by spamming stop/hold

nothing i just think they werent very good at it. so they kept not getting by, and instead just pressing the lings up against my zeals and losing them.

When I tried testing this, both my partner and I couldn't make the zealot move with slow zerglings, we could only get it to move with speed lings. Is this happening to anyone else or is there just something we are doing wrong?

I was watching HuK play and I noticed vs zergs he made a pylon at the bottom of his ramp and used a zea/other unit to wall it off. He never did this vs any other matchup and it was always when the zerg started running with lings towards his base. I also noticed him spamming the hold position/attack when lings were trying to break in. Don't know if its been discussed but just saying what I saw that looks to be a solution.

QQ,

be happy that you can actually wallin.

There are ways around that and no wall should be foolproof anyways, and vs a normal 14 gas/14 pool build you have at least 1 sentry out anyway, so unless you get early pooled it doesnt matter at all. and if he sacs econ in favour of trying to get through, you can always place an additional pylon at your ramp.

edit:

and i have yet to see any good player using this. Its known for a while, but most of the time not worth it.


are u a kid or something? toss are SUPPOSE to be able to zealot wall off and defend if not speedlings will be just overpowering, coming in and killing probes leaving unharm while the toss is moving towards ur base.... i suspect you try to do 9 pool every game and lose due to wall in...

One zealot guarding the ramp is only lingproof for up to 4 lings, with or without this trick.

I always engage with my lings if that's the case, and win.
