I can't help but wonder if Larva X has been the difference between defending and dying to a 4gate.

Have you considered posting this in the bug report forum on the battle.net SC2 forums?

Absolutely amazing analysis. I'm really curious to see if any changes are gonna be made as this would be a very subtile zerg buff in a time a lot of people complain about zerg. Blizzard has shown to be quite active when it comes to bugs though. (The drone atk delay fix e.g)

This isn't a glitch because blizzard did this on purpose to make sure that zerg has to continue to inject and if it were constantly building larvae zerg would never have to inject thus the race is imbalanced and to easy.

Pretty obviously you have not read a single word of the awesome OP.

I hope this is a joke and not one of the most idiotic versions of pseudo elitism I have ever heard of.

Why? Things like this make a difference and they hardly matter in mid master or below. So far there hasn't been a single argument in this thread why this should be removed when you can prevent it from happening.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

really nice thread and research.

So much mechanics explaining for such a simple bug, very well done.

Blizzard need to get this information ASAP.

Nice find and it should definitively be patched since this should not change the balance of the game anyway (if the bugs occurs approximatively for 10% of injects, it means around 1 more larva every 6 minutes, not really game breaking...)

So if I understand this correctly, 1 in every 15 injects will cause a larva to not spawn because the popping larva will correspond with the spawning larva?

Since larva spawns every 15 second, if the clock ticks are 1 second, then 1/15 or 6.66% chance of losing a larva.

Still a huge find 2 years into the game.... larva is key.

Thanks for your effort, spent time and important finding!

Did you report it to Blizzard already? Link please, so I can like it. They do read here more often than some think, but they read their bug report forums even more regularly so if you don't post it there soon I will have to infringe copyright of your effort and let them know myself.

Thanks for this, it seems small but it might actually make a difference in some games so it's definitelly important to lower the random events in this game ^^'

So..... If a hatch larva spawns during the spawn larva animation (of them falling to the ground), the hatch larva dissapears?

That does seem like it would be a bug.

An excellent find, sir! I applaud you for following this up with so much research on the mechanics and rules of larvae and injects. I'm very impressed with our community, and you.

Really cool find, but so far away from game breaking.

The people that are saying it should only pause.. that would be a huge buff.

This is an awesome write up. Your English was readable. I completely understand your point. I'm not sure how some people are confused by this.

It seems you didn't understand the bug, have you read the entire post?

This is a bug, no doubt and should by all means be fixed, doesn't matter how small impact it actually has in-game.

Because it's literally impossible to accurately count seconds in your head?

Congrats on the great find. Hopefully blizz will do something about this. Don't pay attention to the people that didn't read the entire op, they are just tools commenting on something they don't understand.

I'm not sure if I understand this bug exactly, but am I wrong if I say the larve only disappears if you have 2 larve, with the 3rd natural larve about to be generated from the hatch, at the same time ur 4 spawn larve, larve appear?

It is already pausing, according to OP.
Impressive work, thank you for you time/effort to make sc2 mechanically better(Even though I don't play zergs)<3!

Many lost ZvZ would have been won had i had that extra larva, and I used to pride myself on hitting those larva injects exactly when the larva popped from the hatch :/

hmm quiet interesting read. guess i am spending my larva early game pretty effectively then, checked 3 replays and had no loss yay. But finding an injection timing that will negate this, might be pretty cool. Just like knowing your mule timings, so they don't die when carrying 30 minerals.

Mules can die holding minerals and chrono boost time can be wasted if an upgrade/unit finishes during the duration.

This is just another thing that can and should be managed by good players.
