So then it becomes an extra micro contest between the players of trying to snipe the colossus and trying to get it into the baneling-proof position. Or you can remove the glitch and not have banelings explode for no reason. Cliffs are already "baneling proof," you don't need to explode the banelings unnecessarily... The extra micro contest exists without the glitch. Honestly, I think you're not speaking with a clear head and or just trolling... | ||

And that's what this thread is about. Your opinion is irrelevant and unnecessary, and frankly, I can't see why you bothered posting it. Your input offers nothing but an opportunity for this thread to devolve into stupid race wars and matters of "WELL IN MY OPINION THIS IS HOW STARCRAFT SHOULD BE PLAYED." | ||

How It Works: The baneling can see the colossus and, although the colossus is positioned on Cliff Level 2 (or higher), its radius extends well into the next lower Cliff Level (level 1, we'll say). The baneling sees that if it moves close enough to the colossus on Cliff Level 1 that it has sufficient range to use its weapon. Its weapon targets the colossus and fires. A baneling weapon fire actually does nothing to the target, though, it instead is a self-targeted instant kill. Upon death, the baneling causes an area of damage that has a flag set to Same Cliff Level. Since the baneling is on Cliff Level 1 and the Colossus is technically on Cliff Level 2, it is excluded from the effect. How It Gets Changed: Some guy turns the flag off. Or, if they don't like baneling explosions splashing over cliff walls, some guy slaps a validator onto the self-destructor that says "must be on the same cliff level." So, yeah, make them know about it if you want them to change it. If you don't, I guess just relax. + Show Spoiler [It Would Take Just One Click] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/iCI2S.png) | ||

And yes, i did report it on Blizzard forum, i ve got an official response that it is being investigated, well nothing since, they did not add it to the 1.4 patchnote thus far, instead they were trying to figure out ways to make the infestor useless. | ||

Im not sure if there are cliff walls that skinny but just wondering No, because the unit's radius normally prevents it from getting its center close to the cliff wall, but since the colossus ignores cliff walls it can overlap. You would, however, be able to snug a bunch of banelings against the wall and manually detonate them to hit units above. Still that's as simple as using one of their already made validators to say "hey, if the unit isn't on the same cliff level, don't do it man" as opposed to "go for it man, but it won't do anything." Double alternatively, they could include the target of the attack in the damage search or damage the target separately if it's on a different cliff level, which would take about 10 clicks. I didn't advertise that because I like the image of fixing the bug with a single click! | ||
