Could you please read the thread?

Nothing changed but some people figured out that there could be a possibilty to avoid getting dropped. And this possibility is super riscy because if your clumping doesn't work, everything's dead

In 1.3 it will permit the dropping of units into a tight cluster of units if it cannot find available space within a specific radius. In 1.4 it will delay the drop command until if finds viable space. However in 1.4 if it fails to find available space within a specific period of time the drop command will be cancelled. This is why in my 1.4 test you can see that most of the overlords fail to drop their full contingent of banelings.

I can confirm this, this is the way it is handled now. I did some errors earlier with testing. If you guys want to see how it works you can use roaches to make sure there are now holes big enough and you will see the difference. Basically in this version the roaches get stuck on top of the zealots while in 1.4 they dont drop.

The thread was closed by Nyovne, and the video and explanation is now in the OP of this thread so the discussion can continue here.

There was, after all, a change in the baneling drops in the PTR. In 1.3, you could not drop into a stack of units. This is still true in the PTR. However, in the 1.3 patch, you can start the drop before you reach the stack of units, and have it still drop inside the stack. In the PTR, this is no longer the case.

This has real-world implications, unlike what the title of the thread implies. It is easy to verify for oneself. The topic of this thread is false and misleading and should be changed. However, the severity of the change is smaller than first claimed.

Except the title is actually wrong at present. It isn't untrue. The test is legit, the application in real-game scenarios is somewhat limited though. However I don't think anyone is 100% sure how the change would play out across thousands of games. Its technically possible it could lead to failed baneling bomb at a key moment in a key game. Unlikely... (as the overlord would have to travel over a significantly large and clustered group for a relatively significant amount of time) but possible.

I'm hoping a mod will update the title for me at some point as I did not start this thread. I am however, responsible for the videos. *crosses fingers* <3

I'm not even mad anymore, it's just sad.

The game i love so much is seriously turning to shit. As soon as a new strategy is invented and proven to be effective against something, blizzard is just going to destroy it so that casuals don't have to put to any effort into crushing it? Do people not realize that you are not supposed to be able to handle everything with ease? what is the point of playing the game when it's nothing but "wait until 200/200 ----> see who placed their army 1pixel better than their opponent" sigh.

I fear SC2 has become too popular and in order to maximize profit Blizzard decides to cater to the "wrong" crowd.

Why are there 5 people responding with the exact same answer if the "problem" is already solved -_-

Funny how Zerg players show, that they are the QQ masters, and don't even know how their race mechanics works.

Because people just read the title and not the OP.

I'm excited to see what the end result of 1.4.1 will be, what will be kept, what will be removed, etc, 1.3 featured some bunker changes that everyone got up in arms about and ended up getting removed, so we should wait until the final patch notes are released.

They dont read anymore, they just see nerf their mind goes blank and start the QQing chain "sc2 sux balls" "Blizz is making a crap game" etc.

This doesn't affect ZvP because you unload banelings onto "dense areas" when you are already over the army.

but no, you had to have 17 pages of discussion, silly TL
