Why do Terrans lower their supply depots at the back of their base when they are being harassed by Mutas? Does it do anything, or is it just to "hope" that the Zerg ignores it?

Thanks.

P.S. I don't know where to post General sc2 problems because the SC2 General forum doesn't really cover these topics about actual gameplay but not really strategy.

Usually so you can run marines over them to hit the mutas a few more times before they escape... Don't really want to be mazing your own marines away from the mutas.

I see... thanks for clearing that up. Does lowering them also reduce priority for attacking moving, for example would the mutas attack a Rax or an add-on instead?

mutas should never be on attack move in an opposition base..

Erasmus already answered your question, it's just to make way for your Marines so you can reach the Mutas without having to path around buildings. :P

All buildings has the same priority for attacking regardless if they are Burrowed, Up or even lifted in air. (Of course non-AA units)

Also to let the Thors walk through the base unimpeded.

Thors are already slow enough as it is, they dont need supply depots getting in the way.

All the supply depots are on the same hotkey, he's just opening his wall off so he can go base race you
