Just my opinion, you may think what you want about it.

A-move, more a-move, is what they want.
Why change terran to a easy race?
Even though one thought ceases to haunt.
Is ez, pz the best design to chase?!?!

Remember broodwar and its micro depth and scale?
And this a-move thing, to me is an epic fail...
Now hots is coming out and the ones race which micro is fun!
Its ruined now blizzard, what the fuck have you done!

Now its just to sit and hope.
That blizzard comes to their senses.
And stops this a-move crap and for once just says nope. (to activision, looolz)
Like geeze blizzard when will you be thinking some commonsense!

Anyways this is about me thinking about blizzard changing terran into a a-move friendly race, Its ofc because the other races are also really a-move friendly... But I think then terran will be really boring and imo their macro mechanics are like way easier then the other races. I just think that blizzard should rather change zerg and protoss to more micro heavy races instead of wrecking terran...

I A-moved my mouse
To A-rating of 5 star
Cause the game design is indeed a joke.
Har-Har-Har-Har.

I don't think they're getting rid of the micro from terran, they're just adding things that are more passive.

The warhound is pretty much an a-click unit.

I don't get it, are you saying people will build warhounds instead of marines?

There was a designer named Browder
Who wanted Starcraft to be louder.
He said with delight:
"I care not for your plight!
Now let's make terrans overpowered!"

Yeah, I agree, pretty much the point... If I had to put up an example..

In a class of 22 one kid gets bullied, should the class be fixed or should the little kid be fixed... (The bullies ofc should be stopped instead of the little kid)

Once upon a time,
In the purple world of mine,
Where fat dirgibles do fly,
I happened upon a thing.

A small thing. A little thing,
though perhaps not too small,
for what is small that changes the way
Humanity is destroyed forever?

O my sAviOr, where art thou
He who lurks below,
positioned properly, little

Devils beneath the dirt.

Why's that? Are they removing the marine, the medivac, etc? Or are they making the new things so strong that you'll never build marines or units that require micro ever again?

No, Mech is really viable nowadays besides vs protoss ofc. So what they do is improve mech significantly and give in the option of having it earlier in the game.. (battle hellions)

They are just presenting a better / more viable composition...

Like if I would say, zerg just almost just a-moves, then you would answer, well you can always go for mass infestor mass queen and transfuse infestors while they do all the damage and that requires a lot of micro!

Like sure... there will always be units that require a lot of micro, but adding in some tech that gives insane pasivity to a race with a race that has relatively easy macro mechanics, then all you have to do is a-move... Sounds like proto-... cough... "bullshit" to me. :D
