There just aren't that many method of maximizing advantage as prevalent as this Anyone claiming otherwise is just plain wrong Well the only problem is in most situations it will be hard to use this advantage. Broodlords stomp terran without vikings anyway, and with vikings they will have vision, also scan completely negates it so its of limited use ZvT. In ZvP it would only be useful if protoss doesn't have an observer or a stargate or hallucination, which at the late stage of the game at which broodlords come out is somewhat unlikely. Still there may be a few opportunities. And I've never seen broodlords in ZvZ. This would be a lot more gamebreaking if broodlords were easy to rush to, but since they aren't I don't see it changing much at all. | ||

I'm thinking my hypothesis is correct. | ||

Real weapon is tied to flying broodlings, which don't get revealed because they aren't real units. This is different to how carrier works. Oversight.

i dont see a real use, for it. except for lategame harrass against Protoss, on Bases with a highground beneath it. Like the old Lost Temple or one of the new maps Searing Crater, where u could harass protoss with broodlords at the 3rd. But in a normal engagement i dont think it could be really useful, because a Protoss often got 1 or more observer with them. The only thing which already is good, is just the Cliff outranging. But this was known already before. | ||

Also; "Drones are fundamentally weaker than Probes or SCV's, their attack delay due to animation is twice as long as other workers, meaning other workers can infinitely kite them." BALANCED BRO, LRN2PULL 2 DRONES NEXT TIME "At a point in the game where you should have an observer or some kind of air unit, you cannot see a unit on the high ground, in a manner completely fitting the mechanics of high-ground" FUCKING BROKEN AND HERE'S SOME FACTS THAT ARE WRONG THAT PROVE IT'S A GLITCH LRN2PLAY YOUR OWN RACE NUB | ||

Oversight. Can explain in further detail via PM if needed. Well with that logic Carriers should also be hidden in the fog of war and the interceptors should get shown, but the pictures show that the Carrier also is shown so it can be focused. So, in my opinion, the Brood Lord should be shown as well, even if it doesn't actually attack, but send other units to attack for it. And anyone saying the opponent should have vikings or an obs by that point in the game is using a flawed argument. The point is that if you attack from the high ground, you should be seen, even if its dark and you're unable to be attacked. The Brood Lord is the only unit that doesn't follow that rule, so it should be fixed, unless it was intentional, which I doubt. | ||
