Well I know what I'm going to abuse for a while. Great find, they'll eventually patch this like the flowers on LT. Soon (tm).

Some of you guys are way too harsh on Blizzard, they probably didn't do this on purpose and i'm sure that they will fix the map as soon as they notice this trick (just like the old LT blinking spot). Nice find though.

it ok for Terrans to abuse cliffs and mapdesign but this is overpowered as hell?

build a bunker/depot there to prevent the blink?

I honestly think it's fine that it's possible, the only problem is the positional imbalance. Either make it possible for all positions or none.

Nice find though.

point..

they took like over 1 year to fix the LT cliff imbalance with tankdrops and turrets/thor drops etc, and some people act as this was a game changer while i would expect they'd lose maybe 1 out of 100 games against that blink usage whereas most zergs can tell how often they lost against the typical tank positioning on the old LT.

The biggest problem is the positional imbalance which Blizzard can't seem to do even though all the GSL and iCCup maps are perfectly mirrored.

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.


Edited the OP, made a second video thanks to s1cknote's comment showing you can do this trick at the 12 o'clock base too.

The only one which seems immune to this is the 3'oclock base now.

When I started working with the map editor, the first thing I was looking for was a tool that lets you check for some essential ranges within the editor, without having to play the map. Just checking for blink/pylon/siege/creeptumor/vision/tower ranges takes up a ridiculous amount of time.

Comming from an iCCup mapper, its not actually too hard once you get it down. You can press "v" and view XelNaga Tower Range, which you can then edit in 'Data'. Testing for tanks/pylons is sorta a nuisance, but you get used to it.

In any case, I wouldn't excuse Blizzard from checking.

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

Unless your opponent has a turret or patrolling overseer and is actively denying the observer, only to have 20 stalkers in their main instantly one second later. This glitch puts the risk of a big attack on the other player unnecessarily and adds an unfair risk to anyone vs Protoss since they can't move out nearly as safely.

I know blizzard doesn't have the amount of games to test stuff, but to walk around the map with certain units that are known to be abusive of cliffs, ledges etc wouldn't be too hard ? This one is so open and out there also. I wish they would consider recruiting some experienced map makers instead of the ones they have atm. Do they have a "map making" division inside the Starcraft staff ? People dedicated to only making multiplayer maps ? Or are the same people who create the singleplayer map for singleplayer experience, the same people who create multiplayer maps ?
Dead girls don't say no.
