Alright, it'll be a short post because I don't have much time right now to write more and this topic has been discussed thousands of times as well.

Anyway, while I was watching:



... it occurred to me that what StarCraft 2/LotV really needs is more of these moments: "OMG, that control really helped player X to overcome an otherwise tough battle!". See, if we put practicality aside, wouldn't it be cool if MMA or <your Terran player here> pulled out a gosu move to lock down some protoss player's colossi with ghosts? Wouldn't it be cool if you could hit-and-run mutalisks that are chasing just like goliaths used to do in Brood War? We definitely need more micro tricks to overcome hard counters in SC2.

At this point, if someone did micro tricks, it would be treated as 'gimmicky play' because it's not a 'macro game' win. But yeah, I've been saying what you've been saying here for the longest time. I just don't know how toxic the attitude of the players has really gotten at this point though.

Isn't fungal a scaled down lock down? If protoss had the old maelstrom people would be whining since they already decreased time warp to 10s.

Sc2 needs not to change at all so all korean players will finally switch back to BW.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Isn't LoL already bigger than SC2 in Korea? Or do you mean even the remaining Koreans will switch to LoL?

The way units behave makes this very hard as pointed out in countless discussions already, from attack point on air units to turn rate and turret tracking. It also doesn't appear Blizzard is willing to change those specific aspects of the game. While I still think cool micro can be possible it would have to be done in a different way.

Sc2 needs less players who feel like they know what Sc2 needs.

Edit: did you really forbid me from posting any more? Ahah that's quite pathetic.

If you don't like such threads, then don't read. It's simple.

I've been also playing Dota2, and I really like the features game client has: watch live games, watch other players games, watch turnaments (buy tickets) and ect. (all other feathers as well). These let improve, also entertain by themselves.
SC2 also should have these features, like ability to watch live games - search someone famous playing and watch (for live maybe with 5-10 min delay). Like not only game itself, but also game client experience should be more entertaining.
