I suppose if they don't hit at the exact same moment, the mutas will regenerate and live with 1 hp... what about 4 mines? Should have a much stronger impact than prepatch. | ||

Same as before, they regen 1hp, you need 4 WMs to kill mutas. | ||

Those also occurred in the era where zerg players first started to get the hang of how to engage against WM properly. DRG and Curious were just a touch ahead of the curve. Yes, exactly. Even the best terran in the world was beatable before the WM nerf, before the recently zerg favored meta. | ||

I tested: 20 Marine + 10 Mines vs: 30 speed banes. all banes die in the minefield, that feels right. Before at least half of the banes survived and without splitt and targeting all marines died to splash 50 Zealots vs 24 mines = 0 Zealots left :D nice. | ||

But it won't work more than once, if at all, against a half decent player. | ||

Mutas are pretty spread out unless you force them to cuddle, so with 3 mines you will get 3 mutas and hurt the rest a little. but 5+ mines do kill some unstacked mutas with splash, with the big splash again the muta ball might actually be hurt enough so the Zerg cares. Makes the Overseer speed boost useful again now that mines are actually a threat. Poor Zergs though, get used to fighting widow mines with small groups of units, Blizzard steps in and makes the Mine bad enough so you can a-move again. Zerg starts to get comfortable with a-moving again and Blizzard steps in and returns the Widow Mine to the a-move preventing strength. | ||
