Repairing SCVs now have the same attack priority as the thing they're repairing.



What does this mean? How did things used to happen? How will they happen now?

This means mass repair THor isn't so much viable anymore because ur units will see SCVs now with the same killing priority as the Thor.
Right niw the priority for scvs is lower so ur units automatically attack the Thor, though they should attack scvs to bring the Thor actually down

Thanks. What might be some other cases where this might matter? Would it affect like SCV's repairing bunkers, command centers? How about tanks? Same thing?

It affects SCVs repairing units.
I don't know what the bunker for a priority has, but for sure command centers are not affected since scvs are units and command center only a usual building

This is a big hit 2 the Terran military strategy since all mech units excel whilst being repaired. Makes attacking T less micro intensive imho

out

Repairing still works cause the auto attack ai attacks the nearest highest priority target first but the scvs reparing behind the thor or any other mech unit doesnt get hit by the auto attack though.

This change was really implemented because of stupid situations like where you have a bunch zerglings vs a thor surrounded by scvs repairing it. The zerglings try to attack the thor because it has a higher attack priority, but all the scvs are in the way so the lings just run round in circles.
If you wanted to attack the scvs then you have to tell your lings to attack each scv individually, which is difficult because the scv wireframe is so small and lots of the time you will end up clicking the thor. Also as soon as the scv you have targetted dies your lings go back to trying to attack the thor.

I doubt this will affect buildings since buildings probably have a lower threat priority than scvs anyway (not sure though).

So if a bunch of scv's are reparing a CC, lings would attack SCV's automatically?

it says same priority like the stuff they are repairing, so if you attack move they should attack the scv or the building/unit they repair which they are closest to
