This is seriously new to people?
Not really sure whether this truly is a bug as such, (since it is the case with some other units as well iirc including Dark Templar) or whether it is actually just an intended consequence of the attack animation.

Tell that to the guy that got phoenixes 'moving shot'.
Blizzard does read these forums.

I don't really mind this. If you don't want your hatchery blocked anyway you need 2 drones regardless. Thats 2 versus 1. In which case, superior micro should ALWAYS win that fight.

If they all attacked with the same damage this would be relevant. Except that it's not, because the drones are stronger and do more dmg than both an SCV and probe. Who win's in a 1v1 fight? Always the drone.

Dang. I can't believe no one has noticed this before. Nice find, should be fixed right away!

SCVs, Probes, and Drones all do 5 damage on a 1.5 cool down.

Drones don't win because they're stronger, they win because they regenerate health during the fight, giving them effectively the same health as an SCV.

Someone doesn't know about regeneration....

I did notice this myself, I always wondered about it, if there is one thing I really want fixed in the game this is it, would make getting that hatch down a lot easier

This mostly just affects hatchery blocking, worker harassment, and cannon rushes, not so much bunker rushes. It is odd that the race that has to pull workers the most often to defend in the early game has weaker workers. Most likely it's a result of balancing worker rushes, something which really doesn't need a patch to balance.

Guys.... it's not a bug Blizzard intentionally put this in the game, they even make a whiff sound when they miss. I play zerg and it's fucking stupid I'll be the first to admit, but when your statistically changing unit properties some asshole did this on purpose. Whether or not it needs to be reevaluated and changed is a different story but please stop calling it a bug.

This was obviously made to help deal with the 12 drone rush in 4v4's in order to balance it out.


Wait, it actually may be because of that, looking at blizzard's balance history.

ah yes, zerg. the race that can't even have the luxury of balanced workers.

i don't know if this is programmed or not, but either way it's not fair. zerg has to fight with their workers more than any other race.

Theoretically, Drones will never be able to hit a SCV or a Probe, ALSO!
Theoretically, with perfect micro, Drones can be kited without ever being hit.


Are you saying a probe/scv can kill a drone by kiting? I don't understand that.

Also, I think this kind of difference is interesting; we can see epic, exciting micro like Jaedong showed in BW when he would use 1-2 drones to kite SCVs building the Rax in the early game, but definitely should be looked at to make sure it's not imb4.

Darn. No wonder why I always have a hard time trying to get down my fast expansion. Is this intended? I'm not sure, but I don't see why they should be different. :l

There's no good reason for the start up attack being different. I do wonder why that number is double all the other numbers...

Protip:

SCVs beat Drones 1v1 with no micro

I don't see how this is game-breaking.
If your sending one drone to take care of a worker blocking a hatch from going down with no micro, your just doing it wrong.
Saying drones are bad because one can never kill a probe while on a-move is silly.
