I've had this happen to me before but I always just thought it was a small bug.

(I had no success in repeating it)

Do you need to spam click the ground next to the Zealot?

To be perfectly honest I don't think this is the end of the world by any means for protoss. I mean you could drone drill in Brood War but it didn't make the matchup stupid impossible for protoss. I don't understand why people are so up in arms about this...just think of a different/better solution. Bring 2 probes out to also block with the zealot when you see the lings approach, or spam hold position like other people say.

im a zerg player but an easy fix to this is to put a zealot/sentry/stalker right behind your zealot wall in hold/stop and that zealot won't move.

While this may be true... it's an exploit and unintended. OP honestly should've reported it to Blizzard and kept it to himself... I'm scared to ladder now hah.

this is so lame if it is true. unless it is patched protoss standard will have to change from getting fast robo to probably more like a 2 gate into a 4 gate, which would likely ruin the matchup, or all zergs will get like a 14 pool with witch to ling rush protoss (scary thought). my only question is that in the latest patch there was something about hold position units, does this possibly fix this problem?

wow, just tried it and its true,works like a charm. my opponent even tried to put 3 zealots in a clump between his buildings and they were holding it pretty nicely, but were slowly but surely pushed back by the lings, im not kidding you. if its just one zealot you can pretty much just ignore him because hes gonna be pushed away so easily.

It somewhat depends on the placement of the zealot. In my tests it didnt work very well with 2 zeals blocking next to eachother. Plus it isnt worthwhile if one side of the gateway is parallel to the edge of your base.l

Now, let's try 2 zealots!

I've done this as zerg plenty of times before and opponents scream "OP, omfg hacker, my zealot was on hold"

"Maybe next time try 2 zealots?"
"stfu hackerr"

etc.etc.

2nd zealot may slow down first stalker, though. Alternatively, you can use the first stalker but that takes a bit more time than the second zealot to produce.

This is horrible ... and makes a lot of sense. I've had lings break through my wall a bunch of times, and it's drove me crazy and I couldn't figure out how it happened. This needs to be patched.
