Never thought i would be so happy to see widow mines exist instead

[SilvinhoWA]

And now terrans drop the widow mine into protoss economy

[Dohyden]

Blizzard: It holds choke points really well!
Players: Mineral line go BRRRR

[NeonRabies]

Short and to the point. What a good short 👍

It also did way way way too much damage. Just couldn't push into shredder + siege tank at all it was invincible.

Why would you NOT drop that in a Zerg mineral line ? They are so droppable.

Seriously, I don't see the confusing design. Instead of putting them in the 12 different chokes the Zerg could want to cross, put them in the 2 places they have to.
Their minerals and their ramps.

Wait ... had it ever came during 1st release or BETA or ALPHa?🤨

[Acidicstudios]

I still don't get why they changed it even now, they could've just made it so they couldn't be transported and that would've fixed the issue. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Ah yes, the Terrans always needed more units that are great against massed units to deal with the numberless zerg

Of course the siege tank, hellion, reaper, thors, nukes, banshees arent enough

Fuck it why not better firebats and another siege unit for more zone control
