EPTActually, 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.

damage point - 0.1670 period - 1.5 range 0.1 range sloop 1 Probe weapon damage point - 0.1670 period - 1.5 range - 0.1 range sloop - 1 drone weapon damage point - 0.2500 period - 1.5 range - 0.1 range sloop - 1 so yea. drone is abit slower but it's a quarter of a second so i dunno | ||

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 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. | ||

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 ! | ||

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 QQBut seriously, this is bad for the game. | ||

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