I guess its official: Proberto > Dronealdo.

Actually, I think a fair amount of people know of this from VODs and streams I've watched of worker juking to block Zerg's natural.

Playing devil's advocate. Think what fixing this would mean for people trying to run away from 12 drone rushes! Zerg player here =P. Great find btw.

Hmm...

I can't help but think someone like this was done on purpose, it is to make things like Bunker rushes more viable against Zerg because the Drone misses attacks?

Could someone compare a Probe trying to kill an SCV making a building to a Drone? Would there be any difference?

it affects anything where the targetted unit moves more than 1.1 units in under 0.25 seconds

Pretty much every zerg has known the results of this since they started playing and had to try and kill things. Drones are also terrible at attacking SCVs when they move around what they are building.

It would be 10x easier to stop protoss cannon rushes if drones weren't so terrible, and easier to deal with bunker rushes if drones kept attacking the SCV even if it moved while building. Drones really have problems.
HOLY CHECK!

The real problem with this isn't that Drones are underpowered compared to Probes and SCVs, it's that they're underpowered compared to Zerglings. I'd definitely encourage a fix.

and while we are at it regenerating health shield and repair for everyone, also hiding your damaged unit in a building ?

Probes in bw could kite the other workers, you could increase the aspd of scv, by swiftly right clicking on the enemy. and yet it never was a real problem.

So scvs can be sniped while building, this is clearly a disadvantage and should be fixed too ?

the drone was always the weakest worker, thats because you had more then the opponent, because of the early larva mechanic and you can make a weakened drone into a full health building. Its a needed disadvantage to keep the game fair. (first 2 lings can kill the worker, first marine and zealot can't with proper micro, so workers of other races have a bit more free room till the lings come)

And no one forces you to attack that worker with a single drone (they will die anyway even unkited, okay a toss will have to retreat to regen 6 shields). So you need 2 anyway and then this is not an issue. You can't just look at the 1 on 1 even the workers are different in sc.

I mean yeah some are complaining about the probe, can warp in buildings while away, have shield regene for longest time of annoiance etc. But no one ever wanted to have probes (that can kill every other worker with almost no micro), with 0 shield regeneration.

PS: change was sneaked in with the healt nerf on scvs, so please lets revert this fix !

This is defiantly something that needs looking at. I can't see that it is deliberate...

Though I shall be abusing it when blocking 14hatchs. I know I am heartless, but I play Terran... what do you expect from us :D

They should make probes miss... 99% of the time I hate them! making me pull an extra worker just to get my rax up QQ

But seriously, this is bad for the game.

I never played BW, but probes were OP according to IdrA. He sounded pretty serious, though it's likely he was joking.

Does not matter if it's 1 millisecond if drone can't hit the target then it's unfair.

well like people have said in BW
workers were vastly different

SCVs had 60 hp
but they couldn't attack unless they were stopped and they had the lowest sloop of all time
SCVs also had a RIDICULOUS attack speed
drones and probes could do moving shot


they were vastly different.

Probe micro was fucking ridiculous....but scvs wrecked buildings fast if you cancel the animations. In BW the workers were so different lol.
