So let us move them, and rams, and catas, and trebs, and ballistas.
Done right, it would be useless for zergs but very useful for small groups, and would even help against trolling a little bit.
When you get on siege, a new option “Move” comes up. Click Move, and up comes a target that works exactly like Mesmer Blink – you click somewhere within range, and it must be somewhere that you can walk to without jumping. If you click somewhere that requires jumping, it will go nowhere. Otherwise, it starts moving!
It moves 1/2 the speed of a golem.
It cannot be teleported by mesmers
It cannot be rolled up the stairs at your spawn
It cannot be given swiftness or invisibility or any boons at all
If you leave the siege or get placed in combat, it stops moving
Zergs would not use this because it would be too slow and they can already build siege on demand with their supply.
Small groups could become much more effective with sneak attacks, i.e. building 3-4 rams or catas at a camp and then rolling them to their objective.
Bad siege placement from newbs or trolls? Move it! Sure trolls can still build trebs on top of a supply depot and you can’t move it off the depot, but A) it will take them longer to use the supply if they have to run up there each time,
it won’t be in the way of people grabbing supply from the depot, C) it’s more likely to have effective uses up there than under the depot. So of course it’s not a permanent solution but it’s much more bearable.
If a large zerg wants to build a large mobile siege army, well the siege moves SO slow that you could see where they are going well in advance and just build a treb or 2 to start hitting them as soon as they get in range. The siege can’t dodge out of the way, so the only viable strategy for this would be in a small/ninja group who can move it unseen. Those groups could use more effectiveness to counter the zerg meta.
