Why do people keep saying to put something there, obviously if they could blink there they can see that spot, so whatever would be "blocking" the blink can be shot at since there is vision to it.

Is blinking into the main because of a positional imbalance creativity?

Because it won't be used for creativity, it would be used for 1 base all ins.

A 1 base all in can't be creative? And don't forget that a Council + Blink isn't cheap and takes about 2 minutes in total if Chrono Boosted 100%. That combined with him making nothing but Stalkers should be more than enough notice for you to pump out Immortals/Speedlings/Roaches/Marauders or whatever you like.

Ruining PvP even more T_T


How? Blink Stalkers aren't exactly ruling PvP. At the moment, it seems to be either 4gate or fast Colossus, with other builds just there for flavour.

I don't reckon this will affect many games at all. Of course, it is bad that the map is not symmetrical. But it isn't that big a deal. Blizzard will fix it.

The issue isn't that blinking into a base is imba-- though maybe it is... the issue is you can't blink into every base. That's extremely seriously imbalanced. It means that because the map isn't perfectly symmetrical, you could have a PvP where one protoss player has geographical access to this while the other doesn't, and that's a HUGE issue. I'm sure this will be addressed in a timely fashion by Blizzard.

The main issue is the positional imbalance. 3 of the bases are vulnerable to blink stalkers while the 3oclock base isnt. The main issue, then, is the positional imbalance.

This reminds me of that old trick on Lost Temple where you could blink to the other close-air base (back when stalkers could blink over unpassable terrain). Those were the days...

OMG - Blizzard really can't make balanced Maps at all, this is really very annoying... Blinkstalkers blinking in your base without Obs or halluzinated phoenix is indeed a big problem, especially with the positional imbalances, so that even in a mirrormatch, things get out of balance. -.-°


well technically there is nothing wrong about this.

You get vision of the high ground in the middle with one unit, blink up with another, then blink in to the main. Doing it with the Xel'naga tower is no different.....

They should probably fix the map so you can't get vision up to the middle high ground from the nearby main or that you can get into every main using the trick, but so long as you can get vision..... its not a bug and not broken..... its working as intended.

I thought I was gonna be shown getting to the high ground without any vision, but thats not the case. You could do similar tricks on Kulas Ravine with the centre tower allowing you to blink up to the normally rock blocked high grounds and take the other towers.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

The thing with cliffs is that was entirely intentional. This is just abuse of sight + blink and I'm betting they'll fix it shortly.
Never argue with an idiot. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Nice find, but definitely will be removed, just like when Tyler famously abused the Kulas blink bug.
