Got a simple question?
  • How fast do Hydras move off-creep?
  • What is the current overused unit for Terran?
  • Are rocks just a symbolic representation of Dustin Browder's teenage unrecquitted love years?
Ask in this thread when you have a simple question that can be answered by a simple answer. Please always check if you can find an answer in Liquipedia or by using the Search function first. Most simple questions have already been answered elsewhere.

What not to ask in this thread
  • When is a good time to expand? (Situational / game dependent)
  • How much damage does the Warhound do against light-bio? (Liquipedia)
  • How can I micro better? (Too generic)
  • What kind of 1-1-1 opening do you guys and gals play? (Survey / spam question)
Anyone doing anything in this thread but asking or answering simple questions will be overfed a variety of Italian pastas and sauces.

I noticed the mothership still cloaks units and the vortex was still affecting air (zerg), to any beta players, is this actually the case? This was a game i saw destiny play just 5 min ago.

Without detection, can you snipe Widow mines in the small window after you set them off but before they impact?

For example, in BW, even if you trip a spider mine, you have a fraction of a second to kill it once it pops up before everything goes kablooie.

What happens if a Viper pulls a Phoenix that has lifted something?

Also, does pulling a neural parasited unit away from the Infestor break the connection?

Yes it will, but only if it pulls to unit to >14 range away from the infestor. Otherwise, no.

Is it just me that's noticed this. If you have a bunch of vipers, and you're moving over a unit, and you fly past it, and you abduct it, the viper will continue moving in that direction, not turn itself, send the abduct line out, and bring the unit to itself. But because of this, you can actually drag the unit a lot further than if you were stationary at max range when casting abduct.

It just seems like a cool trick you can do.

Are vipers subject to being abducted while they are performing an abduct of their own?

i.e. could I counter-abduct a viper or even chain-abduct my own units?

- Are the stats of Hydras changed in any way compared to WoL? Because if not, I still see no reason to ever build them.

- Is the Mothership energy upon creation equal to the energy of the Mothership Core?

There are none since there are no real seasons yet.

1. Is Ultralisk Charge in the BETA? I have not seen it used on the streams.

2. Mothership Core is spawned from the Nexus, but I have seen it move around. Is there no benefits anylonger of keeping it hovering above the Nexus? Can you build several MSC?

3. Can Warhound attack air?

Ultralisk Charge is in the beta. It requires an upgrade at the Cavern. It does not work if you are already burrowed; it is a spell you cast which creates a target icon. Click where you want your ultra to go, and it will dive, lunge, and resurface in one animation.

I'm not aware of any special advantage to keep the Core over the Nexus, apart from strategic positioning concerns when you use it to attack.

Why can't I click on enemy units to check for upgrades? Is this permanent? Something they are testing?

Do these collapsible rocks at natural (the wintery 4 player map) shut down any 1 base/early 2 base aggression and force macro games or can they be quite easily destroyed?

You can not abduct a target that is in the process of being abducted.

You can abduct a viper that is in the middle of abducting another unit.
