 ratio. Things looked the same, i.e. nothing's stretched-out/fatter. How are they able to do this while preserving the original game. There's no way I'm seeing more of the map, am I?I've been watching past ASL's and the casters say that some of the players choose to play on 4:3 and others play 16 . If you can choose to see more of the map by playing 16 why in the world would anyone choose to play 4:3. Being able to see more of the map would be a huge advantage. | ||

Yes, some progamers prefer playing 4x3, since you need less mouse movement(and eye movement too, but that's debatable). While observing games you even see the difference in size of the boxes. Bisu, for example, played tournaments in 4x3, windowed in small resolution, something like 800x600. | ||

I also strongly dislike the new graphics and prefer to play with the old graphics, and on top of all that being able to see more of the map can also be a hinderance, because your have to spread out your vision more. But in the end, its just a question of preference, nothing else. | ||

, we'd have to move the mouse more to reach the minimap or to scroll the map to the left or to the right. | ||

I think everyone is right though, it probably has something to do with not needing to move the mouse as far / muscle memory / where you need to move the mouse to click the minimap. | ||

As for the minimap, there's a setting that restores its original position if you need that. If you want to go further down the SCR imba hole, the (unbelievably ugly) anniversary hud lets you see and click more vertically. Progamer preferences seem all over the place. A bleeding edge, experimental player like Larva plays with all the bells and whistles, maybe even different hotkeys. A tried and true macrobot will probably stay on 4:3 and default keys, to avoid having to retrain. Playing in a window is an interesting and possibly optimal choice, because of the way your eyes work. (you only have detailed color vision in the very middle of your fov, the rest is optimized towards luminance and movement detection) If middle scroll wasn't so terrible in BW, then we wouldn't even be having this discussion. | ||
