EPTNot 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. | ||

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. 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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||
