seriously though, wtf? are you seriously thinking they suck because this is possible? this isn't even a imbalance, it's just a exploit that just needs a fast patching. NO ONE are able to do a 100% perfect map.

Great find, but it leaves 2 stalkers behind which effectively costs more than an observer which nullifies any direct imbalance other than map-imbalance.



for the first spotter once you have the second stalker on the middle island you can blink the first down and once you have one in his base you can blink the second one down and bring them with you so you aren't losing any

Yeah I took notice of that, but the opponent should almost immediately be aware that the stalkers are there once blinked up to the base.

Seriously... you see one minor bug, something anyone could do by accident, and say blizzard can't make a balanced map. Unbelievable :|

Yes, they should be going around with stalkers to see if they can blink around, its their job, they created the map, its a vital part of the game, they need to thoroughly test it out. In professional game creation and design, they hire game testers who's job it is to find a way to crash the game, any exploit possible and the like. They will run game characters into every wall hoping to glitch or crash the game. And that is a lot of work, figuring out where stalkers can and cannot blink is peanuts compared to other QA work done in the gaming world.

He's probably trying to be ironic or trolling.

It's a simple mistake that could happen to any mapmaker, even GSL or iCCup. Blizzard will probably fix it as soon as they get notified of it.

Why would it be intentional? It gives blink stalker build way too much of an advantage early game to be balanced..

Blizzard isn't that stupid. Like them or not, they at least TRY to maintain a balanced, varied map pool. I can't imagine something like this, where it's not uniformly possible to use this little trick for all parts of the map, as intentional. Blizzard will fix this, whether by tinkering with the map or removing it from the map pool temporarily.

No more robo builds on that map for me then, it was hard enough to hold the ramp when stalkers could blink up there.

cool find! Yeah I could see how that would be a tough one to test for. I hope they just patch the map quickly though, because I really like Shattered.

Someone finds a clever way of using something, and everyone bitches and screams imbalance. Why don't you just bear in mind that a Protoss can do that do you and take preventative measures? Did you know a Protoss can partially wall off against Zerg so they can use a Zealot as a temporary wall? OH MY GOD SO IMBALANCED RIGHT? EVERY MAP SHOULD HAVE A WIDE CHOKE TO MAKE IT HARDER TO WALL OFF LIKE THAT. Christ, just stop complaining and learn to deal with it.

I think the main problem people have with this is that not all four mains are vulnerable to this type of Stalker play. It's positional imbalance, and in my opinion, should be fixed.

Oh hey, it's an anti-qqer, even worse than a real one.

Being able to blink up into your opponents base without investing in an observer is overpowered. The only reason people can defend standard blink rushes it is because they have to move up a small ramp. A protoss can force field to deny sight, and a terran will have a large ball of units/bunkers on that ramp waiting for free stalkers that try to come up.

Then, as above said even if you think this is balanced, it should not only work on one part of the map.

I wouldnt say its imbalanced because you can only do on one side as you can actually use the watch tower to blink onto the block at the top side giving you the ability to blink onto either base so you could actually blink into the back of any base on the map without an obs or hallucination.

I'm 100% sure it wasn't intentional. They don't put much thought into each part of the map, they kinda slop it in.
