EPTIt is difficult to constantly place them in the front row, maybe that will further differentiate the best from the better players. Also it might add another tactical aspect where backstabbing with lings become much more efficient.

It says not to blinding cloud hellbats and the explanation/video show why; seems pretty straightforward to me. Yeah Terran can mitigate it (to a pretty large degree probably) but it's an increase in required unit control for him and you save energy on your vipers so it seems like a informative piece of information to share. | ||

Speedlings =/= slowlings. Trying to "micro" will probably lead to even less damage done. 2. Speedling on creep will come so fast that you won't even be able to blink. | ||

It's misleading because it should actually be "do not a-move lings into hellbats in a blinding cloud".. | ||

Hold positioned units still attack as soon as something comes into range (except workers and such). Move command, though! | ||

It's misleading because it should actually be "do not a-move lings into hellbats in a blinding cloud".. Title says don't blinding cloud vs hellbats which is indeed more effective in the majority of situations, likely vs other zerg units as well as the splash damage hits them more as well. Yeah it leaves some information out, details go in the OP. It's honestly not as misleading as you make it seem. I could easily point out half a dozen current threads that have less detailed titles. Meh. | ||

Still a nice find, but at least in my experience it won't affect normal game play. | ||

I doubt this is really the case with much bigger numbers or if the zerg micro's a bit more. It would be interesting to see if this also happens with roaches. Even more so if it might be beneficial to move command your hellbats slightly into the enemy before attacking to get better surface area. | ||

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CAST BLINDING CLOUD ON MARINES OR MARAUDERS! It actually makes them stronger, because it's like they're eating vegetables, and it's actually good for their body. Kind of the same deal with Fungal Growth, by the way. Don't thank me guys. | ||
