I knew about this but assumed the same goes for the other workers..guess not. I don't mind it because it adds micro to the game but it's kind of dumb that it does not to apply to scvs and probes.

To those talking about BW differences among workers we need to remember that they also mined differently, had different Hit point values as well. In SC2 the only difference among the 3 workers is this attacking bug. In SC2 I believe all workers were designed to have the same effective HP (regen and shield regen making up for the sheer HP scvs have compared to the other workers) so this bug being the only difference to me means it is indeed a bug

It's an incredibly simple fix, change Drone attack into a hit scan instead of a missile. I think original drone had a missile effect rather than melee slap.

And for the love of god please change around the effects for Zerg, seriously a slap!??!?! He's got claws, and his attack is a SLAP? They need to fire the sound designer. Ultralisk has MASSIVE claws and they sound like samurai warriors (they sound like what Dark templar should sound like)

SCVs have 55 health and probes regen shields to compensate for this, if you forgot.

No way this should be changed. It would make 12 drone rush insanely strong against Terran.
Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where, when facing a SlayerS terran, completing a hatchery would cause a medivac and 8 marines to randomly spawn nearby and attack it.

Damn you Blizzard. No wonder spine crawler, bunker rush, and probe harass is so difficult to deal with sometimes.

good find.i always wondered y it was easier to keep a worker alive longer in a zerg's base vs terrans (before rines/lings pop out obv)
When they see MC Probe, all the ladies disrobe.

You know what else is annoying, the fact that when a worker turns at an acute angle they get attacked by the worker following it. I mean c'mon. Whenever I see a zerg who actually knows what he's doing I can't get the little drone out of my base until I get a sentry or stalker (how imba+ Show Spoiler +
not really -_-
), so for you guys to be complaining that you can't get probes out until you get lings, i'm sorry, but quit whining.

As to the OP's point, definitely cool to know, will try and take advantage of it when blocking hatches and stuff (hopefully the zerg doesn't bring 2 drones )

The damage point stat is actually very interesting, and I would be intrigued to see a statblock for this on all of the melee units. I definitely agree this isn't gamebreaking to any kind of degree, and nobody should bring any of this up as some massive imbalance or reason for losing. But it is something we can look at and wonder about.

This is actually surprising to see, i didnt think workers would have some kind attack deviation.

I thought this was a well known issue, every zerg player complained about it for the first couple of months of the game...

So what you are saying is that if DTs are in my base, I just patrol all of my workers and take zero damage?

Excellent.

By the way, the ultralisk thing is just plain funny. They are already bad enough, but now the way to beat ultras is just to.... run... :D

lol at people saying BW probe was "OP"...
balance is an all-unit-encompassing issue, its not as simple as worker vs worker.

the biggest imbalance in Brood War was 6 zerglings appearing in a protoss base when they had 1 zealot. the fact that probes had a suprising ability to defend their mineral line from this was the only thing preventing ling rushes in ZvP being as automatically game-ending as they are in sc2 (if the block fails)
..and in BW they still caused significant economic setback, often enough to influence the outcome.

incredible that iDrAma would whine about bw probes.. so much for his moral legitimacy

I always felt this but I always thought it was just my imagination or bias, and not actually true. Great to see a confirmation.

If you are chasing a probe around in a circle, obviously it is not the smartest thing to just keep chasing it in a circle, but if you instead change the path of the probe and just go in the direction in which the probe will move, then you can hit it a lot of the time, that is how I do it when I am able to pick off probes to expand.
