And then I realize that this is definitely a bug. A bug which I may use on the ladder once or twice, just to see. But then back to 14 pool 16 hatch | ||

I just tested it and the zlot died before getting pushed out of the way when you wall off with the zealot next to gateway, however in the replay the zealot was next to a cybernetics. Can someone please show me a replay of zerglings breaking the wall-in I described, cause I've tested it twice and it's not breakable. | ||

yes, and this works because there is a 1 square wide, at least 2 square long pathway. if you place a zaelot in this pathway, he will only be moved to one side of the path, but still no zerglings can go through. | ||

just read the whole thread, a few thoughts... 1. stop shooting the messenger. a single secret complaint lobbed at blizzard won't get the problem fixed. software companies prioritize bug fixes based on how severe the impact is, and the only way to convince them that this will have a severe impact is by revealing it publicly and making a huge fuss about it. 2. it's often taken a long time for blizz to fix bugs -- remember the graviton bug a couple months ago? we're probably going to need to find a solution for ourselves. 3. any solution would need to cost more or less the same resources as the current standard wall build would cost, because zerg has many timing options for lings, and the wall-in is the only practical one. stop suggesting placing a second zealot or a sentry or a stalker. the two-pylon solution is better than nothing, but definitely susceptible to baneling bust. 4. high level players do indeed use this wall. case in point, huk: http://www.sc2replayed.com/pages/starcraft-2-news/97-liquidhuk-replays-are-available 5. blizz fixed the mineral boosting bug even though the only "real" problem with it was that it required you to spam if you wanted to keep up. by that same reasoning, even if spamming H on your zealot is enough to keep you safe, it needs to be fixed. | ||

You could actually be correct. I've an example (the single time I've (ab)used this technique) of pushing past two zealots next to a cybercore, but not at a gateway. I post for those curious of seeing it in action anyway. Check at 9-minutes, after the 4-gate-into-hidden-expo-attack gets crushed. http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/115841-1v1-protoss-zerg-delta-quadrant Of course, one sentry would have done wonders... | ||

I'm fine with this change, it might make some excellently-well controlled scv/marine balls very strong, but I don't know how to deal with this, right now I haven't seen anybody actually be able to control it that well and for whatever reason qxc, who loves to practice awesome micro (even makes maps for it) I've never seen 2-rax all-in in a tournament game. | ||
