The thing is... Blizzard can make a great game with MBS, automine and all that crap.

But to make an e-sport they need to stop making a great game for my mom.

This is hilarious, but I thought we were done with MBS threads.
It would be cool if SC2 could be a competitive e-sport and fun for Jim the Lumberjack (or whoever that bearded guy is).
There is nothing cuter than a zergling when it has just started taking crack

Players fit into two categories: casual players and people that want to be the best. Casual players shouldn't care about MBS or Automine, they don't make the game easier to learn, they just make the game more difficult to master. Why would you care about mastering the game and being the best if you just want to play for fun? The other side includes people that want to be the best and their entire reason behind wanting MBS and Automine is that it gives them the idea that they can now be the best or be a 'progamer'.

This is a horribly formed argument, but I couldn't find a way to word it correctly. The summary is that casual players shouldn't care if the game has MBS or not. The players that care and want MBS, want it so that they can achieve a skill level that they couldn't without it.

Really hoping that makes sense, also I think it's dumb when people want to put less hours into a game and expect to be better than someone else, because they're simple smarter.

Football for example:

Smart player: Use intelligence to make plays.

'Physical' player: Uses speed and strength to make plays that he has developed through hard work.

SC players should be able to work harder to overcome a lack of strategic knowledge through better macro/micro and smarter players should be able to use their brains to make up for weaker macro/micro. The best players will have both skillsets.

are you a progamer?
is sc not fun for you?
they are not mutually exclusive, manual macro and control do not make the game suck for low level players.

Agreed, removing MBS and Automine doesn't make the game harder to learn or less accessible to 'casual' players. The only thing it does is make it harder for them to be a 'progamer'. It's absurd that people are hoping to be the best with minimal effort, practice, dedication, etc..

I believe we should protest outside of Blizzard.

WOW! What a great and still humerous article.
Some parts of this should in one way or another be forced to the workdesk of mr Dustin Browder.
Huge fan of JulyZerg, HonestTea and that guy Kim Taek Yong.

This may be a useless comment, but IntoTheWow, this is a good thread and you should feel good.
Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands.
