ugh...fixing in 1.2?
i just found this out, if majority of the players know this trick, it'll break zvp early game.

i've left game where i forget to hold position on my zealot (i'd press g instead sometimes).
my fault so i just call it quits...havnt had this happen to me yet but i'd rage so bad.

Would this work against roach walls as well then? Pretty lame bug, but probably good to through it out there so Blizzard will see it and fix it immediately. This totally breaks PvZ early game.

This sounds to me like a clear bug that needs to be fixed.

Many people who show themselves shocked by this seem to assume that without this trick it was impossible for the lings to get in. But guess what, you can also kill the zealot. Just sacrifice a few lings, constantly reinforce and bam, you're in ezpz. I've been having some fun with that because Toss players don't expect it and think they just need one zealot shouting "you shall not pass" and nothing gets in :D

Yeah this is a huge problem, a big reason I changed my wall design. I thought for a long time that I had simply failed to put my zealot in the right place, but until one game where I actually saw it happen and the player said thats what he was doing. I think that if you put another unit behind the zealot on hold position he won't get budged out of the way. Not sure if it works with probes but it definitely does with stalkers and other zealots.

Seems like this is pretty common on the ladder, any good zerg knows how to do it as it happened to me like 5 games in a row until I figured out what was going on.

it's either hard wall and get ganked even harder by mutas than now, or zealot wall and get ganked by zerglings. as a zerg this pleases me.

What is with all of the "why are you posting here" comments? That is how things get known, and then get fixed. Sending one email to blizzard on something they haven't verified is open too many deltas of the issue not getting fixed.

Making posts on here helps the community push for changes instead of one player sending in an email.
