EPTI have nothing against a race having a nice trick on a particular map as long as it is consistently predictable when the map is selected. As zerg I didn't care if Terran had an advantage on LT, I just hated the fact that Metalopolis could be zerg-friendly OR impossible to win based off the random spawn, so map selection in tournaments was a ridiculous dice roll.

Zerg cant block the ramp anyway and the only danger then would be a free building for the Protoss, but the second he starts shooting up you can line troops along the cliff with him not having vision, that should give him hell for a bit. | ||

I don't think you would phase through, you would rather end up on the low ground in front of it......need to go trying right now Zerg cant block the ramp anyway and the only danger then would be a free building for the Protoss, but the second he starts shooting up you can line troops along the cliff with him not having vision, that should give him hell for a bit. You then have to rebuild the building. Which protoss once again snipes. While the stalkers move to the front and then back again. Almost the same thing as on blistering sands. | ||

Even as a Protoss player, I can objectively recognize that this is broken (in my favor). It's too unfair. Very cool find though! | ||

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. It's not a bug in the game mechanics. It's a bug in the map. They didn't intend for you to be able to blink into one base but not another. If they did, that would be silly, and as much as we'd like to think blizzard is just a bunch of bumbling clowns riding unicycles in an office, we all know they're smarter than that. So as has been said, it is a bug, but it will be fixed. It's not a complicated fix at all. It's no big deal. | ||

What about the destructible rocks on both sides needing a different number of pylons to wall off, or one of the positions (Can't remember which) being hell to wall off at the natural compared to the other? | ||

What does overtest even mean? They test them but few guys testing the maps several times won't provide as much data as the whole community playing on them one day. People found the problem ... few days later blizzard fixed it. It's as good as it gets so I don't really see why people are still complaining. | ||
