| Oct 15, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | Robotnik♦ | @OrcJMR - I was using the dictionary definition of the word, not once have I said 'abused'. Good point on the Marines though: Blizzard may have just built in the Marine's animation-cancellation, with the 'stuttering' mechanic being an unintended consquence. Or they could've built it with the 'stuttering' mechanic in mind. The point is it doesn't matter: Either way, it can be exploited by players to gain an advantage. That's the point I was making | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 11:26 | comment | added | Orc JMR | @Robotnik Yes, this is the vocabulary meaning. I meant "exploiting" in a more common sense in gaming, that being "using something not directly intended to give an advantage", more like "abusing". Such things, of course, depend on the level of play - marine stutter stepping may look like an abuse for players who are not familiar with it, but is explicitly designed by Blizzard to be used "to the fullest". | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 9:16 | comment | added | Robotnik♦ | @OrcJMR - Because exploiting means: "to make full use of and derive benefit from". People who know about the flying mechanics know they can stack them, so they do. Exploiting isn't a bad thing per se, it's using the existing mechanics of the game to derive an advantage. The only difference between Muta stacking and the mineral boosting technique listed below is how Blizzard treated them - one they allow (and built for), and the other they disallow (and patch out). | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 9:08 | comment | added | Orc JMR | @Robotnik Well, "flyer stacking" is a mechanic as core to the game as ground unit pathfinding. Blizzard did make a lot of tweaks to flyer stacking, trying to make it work in a way that they want - how can using this be "exploiting"? | |
| Oct 13, 2015 at 7:33 | comment | added | Robotnik♦ | Mutalisk stacking could be considered exploiting the mechanics of the game as well. | |

Removed 'Glitch' tag as this question is not about the game 'Glitch'
