- Doodads are no longer affected by the MOVE UNIT trigger action.
Does anyone know exactly why Blizzard did this?



None.

my best guess is that it was inconsistant to have a different type of object move via a "move unit" action - it's just another way blizzard restricts our creative abilities.

Probably part of some short-sighted CPU/memory optimization.



None.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

I would go as far as to say it was an unintentional effect, and (maybe because mapmakers complained "wtf my trees keep moving around") they decided to fix the issue in the patch, much like they "fixed" things such as EUD actions.

There's a difference between fixing something because of potential hacks (EUDs) and fixing something because of unintentional effects, though.



None.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

Well, we could go through some "CAN YOU DO 25 TRICKS? / CAN YOU DO REAL TRICKS?" bug fixes, but those are game mechanics that broke melee. I feel like it all comes down to fixing things that weren't originally intended to exist in SC. It makes me wonder why Blizzard still allows us to do things like disable doodad states of units.

"Doodads" probably refers to floor traps, wall traps, and doors since those are units.

Oh_Man -- it can pick the weakest mutalisk off from a stack of mutas - pretty OP
[02:30 am]
Oh_Man -- against zerg: https://youtu.be/PK5WD1EAnpU
[02:22 am]
Oh_Man -- another match here, way more wraiths
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and templars psi storm as arty said is a strong counter to the marine med the bot was going, so the wraith was actually the correct play there
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and the wraith was cloaking and going around sniping templars (which wuld be too hard to perfectly micro in a normal human game and the wraith wuld die or distract u too much trying to micro it vs doing other things)
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- they usually require too much micro so it's 'dumb' for a human to use them. but in the hands of the AI they become god tier, ghosts locking down goons and helping get them picked
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis also didnt understand a couple of its plays, coz they make no sense for a human, but they did for the AI. The wraith and the ghost for example
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- it's issuing orders to each unit individually, so the number sounds more hype than it actually is, it's just an artifact of it not being able to use control groups
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- also the 6000 APM is kind of a fake/incorrect number, which is xplained by the AI maker in the comments. it's not using control groups, it doesnt have that functionality
