I've watched friends play the game for a few hours, couldn't bring myself to play it, after having played Starcraft it's like putting the safety wheels back on my bicycle. I understand that people are going totally crazy about how omg wow you have to use teamwork wow it's so awesome it really tests your understanding and knowledge and timing. Right, but it gets rid of all the mechanical skill that proper RTS requires and is therefore the gaming equivalent of using bumper lanes in bowling.



Right, popular amongst casuals, noobs and people who are afraid to play proper RTS...

I don't understand the argument. It's basically like hockey players telling soccer players their game is shit because they don't wear skates, play on ice, and use a stick.

"LOL SCRUB, You never learned how to skate so you have to kick a silly ball around. Soccer takes no skill, you don't even have to use your hands. What, are you too scared to learn how to stick handle?"

Your argument brings nothing to the table. No discussion can be had, DotA is trash because you only control 1 unit. RTS is king because you control multiple.

Are pro Quake players also trash because they only control themselves? Please.. Offer up something constructive next time you make a post.
