so yea. drone is abit slower

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.


Ahh yeah so in BW they were different, that's why we need buggy drone in SC2 - just to be different. Good logic

probe had the longest range out of all workers. But that aside, they could just block your only gas early game, and wosh around the base (worker had a better turning speed then lings, etc so they could outmicro 6 lings with easy and keep the gas blocked by always rebuilding it (more an issue for terran, that needed tanks or die once dragoon range finished), oh and they could place manner pylons (block some mineral patches and workers)

awww can't find the vid with the gosu probe micro anymore, was somewhere in pimpest play vids.

Worker micro and chasing was the best in bw ^.^

damage point has nothing to do with the actual animation, isn't it? (if you set anim to 2 secs with damage point at 0, damage comes out and anim finishes 2 seconds later?)

imo it is designed to be that way.. drones are faster on creep, so it cancels out the delay by a bit

edit: silly me.

Well the thing is that with proper unit control, and you can still hit probes / scvs, and also the drones > SCVS and Probes, in 1v1 fight, so no I see no problem here.

You can't hit if opponents micros his probes/SCVs, did you watch video? It's very unfair for zerg, especially because they need to get their expansion earlier and it is usually blocked by probe/SCV already. Try blocking opponents nexus with drone, you won't keep it alive even for 20 secs lol

Its been like this for a long time. Truth be told I dont think it matters, at least not v P (assuming the p doesn't suck). That hatch isnt going down before you pull a second drone or make lings. Also you wont actually take any damage on the drone when they kite like this, acceleration should prevent it.

I have to say im suprised ppl havent noticed it, do they just amove to their expo and figure theyre done ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?

Maybe its a bigger deal in TvZ.

This is pretty bad considering zergs have to pull drones often vs rushes. Anyone with a bit of kiting/micro can avoid quite a bit of damage from workers, it's not much but I guess it could still make the difference in close fights.

Mmm thats why I could never block a nexus for that long and protoss could block my hatch way longer!

damage point is the delay after the attack has started
it is the exact point damage is applied to target
you change this to sync it with the animation
or for balance reasons

That only works with probe on patrol command because if its not on patrol command the probe deaccelerates enough to get hit. And in practice if a player does use the patrol command, the zerg player can easily anticipate the path and get hits off. I'm not sure why Blizzard decided to make the drone hit like this though, maybe it has to do with worker vs worker battles where the drone might survive extra hits because of HP regen so they nerfed it that it always gets hit first.
I'm very good at making carriers.

The same thing happens with Dark Templar against workers actually. I noticed this the other day, where the DT attack animation takes too long to actually hit the moving unit even if the DT catches up initially. same thing with the drones I guess :/ That really sucks.
