I didn't know this but I've noticed since a long time ago drones always lose in a 1v1 fight against probe/scv. When both are approaching each other at the same time/range.
I think this has something to do with it.

Anyways Blizzard need to fix this as zerg may need to pull TWO drones to fight against ONE Scv/probe! You lose like 100 minerals which is unacceptable at best and gamebreaking at worst.

This is why you have to bring 2 drones out to fight a probe/scv when they're blocking your natural :| put 1 on auto attack and micro the other to get in front of the probe and attack or you'll hardly damage it. I always knew it, I just didn't know it was exclusive to drones. Kinda sucky...
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I always wondered why i can't delay a probe building a nexus as long as they delay me building my hatch, I just thought my control was bad (still might be), but I didn't realize that the probe can't miss the same way my drone does.
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

I used to kite scvs in BW with probe micro ^_^

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


To be fair that was Nony's probe, and it caused Idra to accidentlyly cancel his CC and then proceed to ragequit the game.

I've always noticed this when zergs put a drone on my scouting probe ;>. Looks kinda cool to see a drone making the animation but not doing anything .
I'll just go ahead and say it's revenge for the increasing trend of roach/ling allins!

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.

Yes this, bothers me so much when you're chasing down marines because even though DT are as fast as workers, they can't really do step micro because you need to wait for their attack to register. You can also cancel their attack if you move before the damage point is reached.
Knowing is half the battle... the other half is lasers.

yeah so its not just me. I think we should figure out how to report these bugs to blizzard without getting lost in the bliz forums.

I knew something was up!! I sent a drone chasing a probe after I got his sheilds all the way down.. after that, I noticed his shields were all the way up.. I never got a shot in.

To be fair though, in a 1v1 peon battle.. drones win!

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.


Make it so zerglings can mine. I reckon that'd be a really good idea. Also infestors should be able to neural parasite a whole mineral patch into the hatchery.

I've been abusing this every now and then when I meet Zergs on the ladder. It's been around for quite some time. :I

^this. How you lose to a probe is beyond me, the only way you lose if he moves an inch to regen his shield.
