This Bug is fixed now

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=186399

Hello fellow TLers,

LT is in fact imba because you can tell the zergs spawn position without scouting since you can/cant see flowers at their starting position.
This works for all spawn positions - settings can be on medium/high or ultra i dont know about the exact shaders terrain settings but it was confirmed many times that it works with medium and above.

Video explaining the bug:


thanks AskJoshy

SS Lost Temple:

It actually works on any "jungle themed map that has flowers at the starting location"

the GSL actually made a custom LT map and removed all flowers so everyone gets fair games and all that within 2 days. Good Job GSL

SS Nestea games LT w/o flowers

An official Blizzard guy actually posted in the Bug report so there is no need to bump the threads but maybe you should add additional info if you find out new stuff about the bug or add your general thoughts about it.

Blizzard Dude Nexii
Thanks for the reports guys! =)

Maybe I don't understand but wouldn't you still have to go into their base to see the flowers?

edit: I'm an idiot, its through the fog >.>

They should take it out this second, I wouldn't even mind.

ZvZ is the only funny match up on that map.

Yeah. They should fix it. Blizzard please remove LT from the map pool in order to fix this like you did with Shakuras(?). Don't bother bringing this one back when you have fixed it though.

I just tested it on low but the flowers don't show up regardless of whether a Zerg is there or not.

This used to happen with doodad trees in some other maps (Desert Oasis?) during the beta and was quickly fixed, I am surprised it took this long for someone to notice the same happens in lotem. One can only hope it gets fixed asap.

I tested it in a custom game vs ai, on medium settings the flowers still show up whether creep is there or not.

edit: tested again, looking closely looks like OP is right. !

Working as intended lol

Honestly though, I wonder how stuff like this happens? the creep doesn't spread that far out at the start does it? I never play zerg so I wouldn't know.
