Never really though about it, but FF on fungal makes perfect sense to me. If it is too much, perhaps the damage applies but not the root on friendly targets? Just an idea.

Except for FF on Fungal nothing seems to make sense to me...

and with FF on Fungal the only thing it would affect would be that lings would be useless to clean up fungled groups of units.
no change for infestor/roach and almost no change for Blord infestor (oh no, a couple of broodlings won't auto attack before they die)

This is why more friendly fire should be in the game:



!!!

and this



I haven't played SC2 in a while. Siege tanks don't do friendly fire, right?

Ohh and this



And a couple more.

Anytime people talk about AOE in SC2. I keeping thinking to myself, the real topic is about that unit clumping.

Unit clumping is what has butchered the balancing of this game. Friendly fire is awesome, talking about mine drags in bw, or zealot bombs. But with unit clumping can you imagine fungal growth doing that...? Sounds to me like a balancing nightmare.

I have had posts previously question why the colossus doesn't do friendly fire...

Blizzard could do the entire community a favor and remove unit clumping from the game. Because units will still find chokes on maps to clump, for such opportune moments for massive AOE damage.

Imagine if unit clumping wasn't in the game.

Seige tanks wouldn't have been nerfed.
EMP wouldn't have been nerfed.
Storm wouldn't have been nerfed.
Vortex wouldn't have been nerfed 3 times.
Fungal growth wouldn't be getting a nerf.
Colossus wouldn't be a huge annoyance.

FF on fungal would be GREAT. Would force zergs to be more careful in engaging rather than mass fungals

Edit: although clumping in sc2 due to its engine might make it crazy difficult. Still I like the idea.. FF in bw was insanely entertaining (reachhhhhhhh's manlots)

Like any drawback it's something that can add tactical depth or just limit how a unit is used. It all depends. Friendly fire is very compatible with Terran because T has no melee units, let alone a core mineral only melee unit like P and Z do. If the Reaver had friendly fired it probably would've just narrowed the unit's role without adding much depth, but then again the Reaver already had numerous drawbacks (apm and mineral drain, can't shoot down cliffs, can dud, slow).

I'll say this: SC2 probably needs more high power high drawback units. The drawback doesn't necessarily need to be friendly fire.

Imagine if hellions did friendly fire to each other, you wouldn't be able to use more than 4-5 at a time or you'd kill your own shit
P.S. I'm nub. If you'd like you can follow me @xthurst but its not worth it ill be honest

Marine bullets should do friendly fire if you fail to properly train your soldiers. Also if you leave your marines too close to the front line there's a chance they'll get spooked and open fire when someone nudges them from behind.

Marines do friendly fire as you can target your own units.

As a Zerg player and almost masters I fell fungal should have ff. Only reason I can think otherwise is defendng drop play n mineral lines will be harder/demand you pull your drones. Maybe take ff off of all workers?

Archons w/ ff would kill zealot/archon. Zerglings with ultralisk ff... Maybe fungal. That is something i can see being in the game. Then you can't fungel ling runby's in your mineral line. Baneling ff would make ling bling micro impossibly hard. And siegetanks w/o would be too strong imo. But it seems unfair. Seeker missile also had ff i think. At least on teammates. I think someone said lurkers did ff? They didn't. If that was true stacked lurkers would kill each other. They did ff on teammates.

In BW, only sieged tanks, mines and spells had friendly fire. Every single spell had friendly fire. In team games all splash damage hurt your allies.

ok

sure,
and all the lings or zealots when they try to surround a unit, kick each other out of their way and deal some damage to each other while scrambling to the opponent/target


oh wait neither of those are really applicable to this game.

Collosus and fungal definitely should have friendly fire. Units with short range or linear splash like hellions, banelings, archons should not.

Agree. With exception of banelings. Any baneling FF would be stupid.
