And It's only one day to WCS Global Finals...
In case you don't know: worker spray lets you see the placement of any building outside your field of view. All you need to do is hold the worker spray button and mouse over to look for buildings.
Make a custom game on Frost and try it. This lets you find initial placement in 4 player maps, scout proxies, know which bases have been taken, check buldings location on early game... all of this without scouting!

I'm glad novelty features like this have become such a big focus of the dev team.

Workers clearly OP. The best way to fix this is to reduce the starting workers to 4 and increase mineral count per patch. 
|
It's kinda funny that they have released a patch that fixes the "spray visible in fog of war" non-issue, but this much more important problem still exists ... priorities.

Its a fun time on ladder, being able to know if someone is cheesing you or not. As a zerg, I have been greatly improving my 4 hatch before pool gameplay as a direct result.
What I dont get is why someone made the post on reddit to tell EVERYONE about it.

Because that's the only fair course of action. Every such bug should be immediately made public so that everyone is on the same footing. Abusing knowledge of a bug for ladder points is a really shitty attitude to have.

fml. that exlpains yesterdays ladder session.
Shouldn`t Blizz just cut this feature for the lenghts of BlizzCon?!
|
Nobody on BlizzCon will dare to exploit that bug, if the main stage is going to be as previous ones, on both sides of the main screen there will be first person views so it'd be kinda weird if someone did that even if they are not going to fix it. It's not like players are playing in a basement and nobody can see what they are doing.
It should be fixed long time ago already though
|
this is more like glitch, people are used to it already, removing this would break starcraft
|
When I think of it it gives SC2 more of a BW feel, meaning there are bugs/exploits regular player may not know about but if you abuse them they give you an edge lol
|
Lool waat? Actually I wanted to ladder, but now I don't feel like anymore..
|
1 day left to fix it Blizz!
I really hope they won't fuck this up and are aware of this.

Wut? You have to ban only Frost, all of the other maps are 2 player lol
Or well, if you mean like you could use it to scout building placement for proxies, fast expands and such it's a different story :o now it's even more BW like, bug exploit metagame
EDIT: btw I hope that people exploiting it will get suspended in-game

They won't. You can't prove someone used it.

Maybe you could through replays. The exploiting player would have suspicious screen movements into the fog of war.
I think a fix for this would be to change the spray from a targetable ability to only spraying at the worker's current location.

I'm ashamed to admit I used that bug just now on Frost

I'd argue, I believe replays record abilities being not only used but picked as well and a worker selected with camera centered on enemies' buildings + spray ability chosen (if it's really recorded in replay as I think) is enough of an evidence, can't check it now though.
EDIT: oh I forgot spraying through minimap works too

No, you can do this though the minimap and it takes all of half a second. So unless they ban everyone who selected a worker, they won't do anything.

I spray outside my natural every game because my drone always gets there slightly too rely. I would get banned if I ever canceled that to build the hatch on time.

I'm sure no player at Blizzcon would abuse this bug, but it will hurt a lot whether this remains unfixed for the most important tournament of the year, which for me is already tarnished as the bug was already exploitable at the playoffs.
I think the dev. team at blizz would take like 60 minutes or less to fix this, so personally I am not watching any Blizzcon game or playing whatsoever if the issue remains unpatched.
