SB implements a fastest ladder in six months, where's blizzard? If it wasn't for remastered taking the wind out of the sails of SB with remastered, we'd all be on SB. I still think the only reason they did it was to keep the IP, and free ads for SC2. They tried to kill the pro scene, the only reason why they don't poopoo people on their own forums is because they don't read it. It's just a vent hole. Meanwhile SB responds within 24hrs on a bug report in a freaking chat channel, how low friction is that. And you can see the patch in the making within another couple days.

Personally I always keep the map full screen on my second monitor. I could also make a flip book with plastified print outs.

You really made an account to go into some random third party broodwar forum thread discussing fog of war settings on the minimap, to preach how great blizzard is in 2024.

Player choice is a basic fundamental of UX design.

Until you remove (or make optional) the compulsory transparent minimap fog-of-war this app will never see widespread adoption in Korea.

You've therefore chosen to eliminate 99% of the competitive playerbase.

You've also failed to deliver what is promised on your website:

...improving on the StarCraft 1 experience while maintaining faithful, authentic gameplay...

...we know what makes the game tick. We're keeping the important things the same...

Therefore this app is hard pass.

There, just for you. Now imagine what we could achieve together if you just ask nicely instead of being an ass about it.

No, you're wrong. He's actually made dozens of TL accounts to verbally blow Blizzard throughout the past 5 years or so.

It's always funny which hills people choose to die on at times, because when I played on SB I found transparent minimap fog of war super useful as a SC2 player that doesn't know the maps and I kinda miss it when playing on Battle.net.

Then again I remember how I've absolutely hated the addition of a scan radius indicator in SC2 because at the time I thought this was lowering the skill ceiling.
