Yes you're right. Let's destroy good gameplay because it wasn't part of the original model of how the drop mechanic works. Rofl. | ||

Currently (before patch), you can't unload banelings on top of a clumped up army with no gaps, moving drop or no moving drop. the only way it works is if there are tiny gaps in the army. which is why it works in the 'pre-patch 1.4' video. i need further testing for 100% confidence in this but it seems all this talk is just for nothing..PTR does nothing And yet this topic is still open and ongoing despite numerous people stating the same thing and others just ignoring it. | ||

You should do more test to confirm. But yea, as a toss player, I think the current baneling drop mechanic should stay as it require both side to micro. But Im guessing all this whining is for nothing. | ||

Thought the FOW made a difference but in the end it didnt. | ||

Seems like nothing has really changed,. | ||

I for one am glad I won't be seeing my ENTIRE ARMY turn into green goo while I can't move them cause they're all fungaled. The correct counter is to make your army NOT move around in a compact ball, and to spread it out instead. If it's spread out, less fungals will hit, as well as less banelings. I hope Blizzard is trolling. Baneling rain and fungals just punish a player who has 1a syndrome. That is all.

I think its high time for this thread to be closed unless the OP is modified along with the title. | ||

If blizzard wants to get rid of F + click syndrome in the matchups (which they should), this is NOT the way to do it. I'd actually be happy it fungal was changed from STUN to SNARE although Im protoss, I have to kind agree that NP change, if it goes through, is kinda ridiculous | ||

I mean these are things dropping out of an airship, if you think about it then it makes complete sense that they would be able to drop on top of units... | ||
