No, you need skill, that's all. | ||

And you need skill in lots of other stupider ways (like lets make it so you cannot just click the building and press a hotkey but need to press another hotkey first or 1000 different bad ways to create bad skill checks). It is just another artificial barrier that does not need to be. Skill can be found in other ways. | ||

You're right, new players hate it and think it's stupid. That's fine, but it's fundamental to the game design and a part of what makes BW fans love BW. No RTS is ever going to be designed like this again so let us have this. Edit: I also think that hotkey rebinding should be a part of competitive play. If pros are really going to take the time to re-learn the hotkeys and reprogram their muscle memory, that's their prerogative. I highly doubt it will break the balance if you save a few milliseconds because your fingers only have to travel one inch instead of three. | ||

Lets just easily cue up 50 gateways late game in 1 second. Clearly you're delusional | ||

It would influence balance yes and some other things can be rebalanced to counter it. Maybe limit it to 12 buildings like units are :D But lack of this feature alone will prevent SC Remastered to become popular in the West. I am really not sure what is the end goal of Blizzard with this Remastered. Is it just doing it because they are so rich and they can? | ||

They would never change something so fundamental to the game like the number of buildings that you can select at once to appease a vocal minority of newcomers if it would simultaneously divide and destroy the extant community. In that last interview they talk how the custom hotkey addition is to bring in new players. I think not adding MBS or automining is more because they are too small a team to trust themselves to be able to rebalance SC Remastered so they just made smallest possible changes that do make it easier for new players. | ||

I mean would anyone think they lost a ZvZ because their opponent cheated by pressing V for their Overlords instead of O? It just seems like such an easy way to ease both returning and new players into BW whilst having at most a minuscule effect on balance. | ||
