this is overreacting. how would they know that you could do that? it's not like they should go around with stalkers to see what they can abuse.


Well Blizzard hires people to test their games. And going around abusing stalkers/reapers/colossi to make sure the map works as intended is exactly the sort of thing any good game tester ought to be trying. Of course, being the abusive Protoss scrub I am, I fully intend to use this discovery to the max, while it still exists...

Please stop complaining, people in this thread don't need to read your crying just because you lost a few games on ladder.

Perhaps you could try to learn how to get better instead of venting anger on a forum, where no one wants to read it.

Anyway... @OP, that was a pretty cool find, I don't think there'll be too much of it on the ladder, but it'd be funny if it turned up in a tournament XD. To those saying that an observer is cheaper than 2 stalkers, you forget the price of a robo bay. TvZ, this could be a bit of an issue, especially with zerg static defence at the natural. Its quite abusable, but if the opponent is going blink stalkers, you'd have to prepare for that anyway. I'm not sure how quickly it'll get patched however .

first off all i didnt lose any ladder games, because i didnt play any ladder lateley.

its just the terran hate. everything they get is fine (tricks as this). what other races get is broken and imbalanced. that is my whole point

It feels deliberate to me

anyway its easy to fix, but adjust the knob of land

but people build something there anyway to spot both sides of the trees ... now that building placements value just went up more.

IF it was... you'd be able to do it on all 4 bases. As it is, it doesn't work on the 3o'clock base!

That is pretty interesting. I wonder if any of the pros will take advantage of this before it gets patched.

No its not intended.... you can't do it on the 3o'clock main (as the above poster points out).

lol :D That's interesting, weird that Blizzard made that mistake... well it should be fixed in an upcoming patch.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

It acually leaves no stalkers behind so long as you have at least 2 blink stalkers. One goes to spot the tower while another blinks up. Then the one from the tower goes and blinks up into their base. Then the one spotting from the high ground blinks down and then blinks up into their base. All your stalkers are now in their base, though it does take some time.

hmm who cares about the blink stalkers ? you can warp in there as well can't you ? So its possible to warp in units there as soon as warp in is done x3. Seems to me they underestimated the squeezing in the corner a bit to little.

But blink stalkers ? don't care it would be damn fun to have this viable on a map. But it kind of destroys the ramp advantage in pvp so it would be 4 gate heaven map. Also defending with a bunker would be a bit harder heh.

So it will probably get removed imo.

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.

As far as I know, Observer vision outranges pretty much all units and even turrets, so if you just get vision of the corner, you can blink a stalker up there and then the rest of the army can blink up too, so it doesn't matter much?

Instead of removing the possibility to do this i would like to see the map changed so you can actually do this at all positions. Just adds more depth.
