As someone who created power rankings for reach race via colors, I'm really disappointed.

Purple Protoss = strongest Protoss color
Red Zerg = strongest Zerg color
Blue Terran = strongest Terran color

White/Yellow are very high up there for Z as well. And Green being very high for Protoss too.
From my research, Zerg does better with warm colors, where Protoss does better with cool colors.

And Terran is good no matter what color they are.


I love that you actually researched this, because from watching many games I noticed a similar pattern. Whenever I see the best colour you mentioned for each race (and Yellow Zerg), I automatically favour them, and it usually turns out true. I'm happy it wasn't just some random bias.

People complaining about the Race colors being changed to Red / Blue, try being color blind for a day.

Personally I always shift tabbed and I'm excited to play blue instead of teal, but why can't we pick our shift tabbed colors in 2018?

For some reason my game's showing me and my opponent as purple and blue respectively every match, rather than red/blue. Is anyone else getting this?

Third World would have been my choice, that map is amazing.

Ether way, happy for something new to play on

I want to start playing BW Remastered. The new ASL maps and this new patch are getting me excited.

I second that. Removing colors is the dumbest thing i have heard in months.
ADD variety, not remove, OMG... as someone said, this is 2018?...

You guys do realize you can just shift+tab and then you have colors? It's red and blue as default, not as the only colors available.

EDIT: I may have to retract that, as I haven't tested it out thouroughly.
It's ok. I still love you <3

1300 MMR RA2/SC2 newb reporting. 336 games and 48% WR
I would love for 2v2 and other features. I feel like this game (RE) was released unfinished.

6K+ games played in SC2 and apparently nothing transferred over! hahaha.

From my research, Zerg does better with warm colors, where Protoss does better with cool colors.

And Terran is good no matter what color they are.

So are the statistics skewed by the different colour palettes of different maps? Or can we now think about balancing maps via player colour adjustment?
Seriously though, the best and easiest solution would be to allow players to select their colours, like in any other RTS game in existence. Extra points if "random" is one of the options…
Same for sift-tab settings – make it a player-adjustable setting. Even better: Allow a different setting for each tileset.

Not a fan of putting Transistor in their. I don't mind watching it, but I hate playing on that map with anything but Zerg. Oh well that's what vetos are for. I'd much rather have seen them put in Sparkle tbh. Might not be as balanced, but you play a completely different game of Starcraft on their compared to any other map.

So ladder is red vs blue only now? That sucks. I was always a big fan of random colors in BW. You could change between green vs red and random colors anyway, so why force everyone into rvb?

But at least they are still working on the game. It would be nice to get another development update. I'm pretty sure that the 2v2 crowd already left, but I think it's about time that they expand MM beyond 2v2. I'd also love to see letter ranks back. I guess "Frontier" league will be around throughout the first year.

So did the red vs blue colours get reverted?

I was looking forward to it, because I've never been able to spot dropships on the minimap very well (colorblind which makes red not stand out very well), but I'm not getting red vs blue in-game currently.

Sure, profiles load faster but my match history is blank after playing a dozen or so games and the APM counter is still completely useless (showing 143,000 APM).Profiles were better before patch.

Yeah it's Red Blue - shift tab still toggles it to teal red as well

Yeah it's great. Only seems to be the case on some maps though. Had a few longinus games and there it wasn't Red vs Blue
