Difference is, even if you're microing consistently worse than the other guy in starcraft you can still win with superior macro, but wc3 has very little macro, and so you really need to outplay your opponent micro-wise in order to win the game. I said that Warcraft3 is a joke compared to SC, especially the macro and multitasking. He's only talking about the micro, but doesn't realize that SC has similiar micro as well, it just is so difficult to do properly in the middle of macroing and whatnot that players even with over 400apm can't do it, and hence he thinks it's not in the game. Sigh. And what's this Blizzard Rock Band crap? | ||

Choosing ur units is another impotrant part in wc3. there are also soft counters and strategies in wc3 works much much differently Choosing what to creep and harassing right after that, choosing how u creep and what items u get can all effect how the game goes. every small thing in wc3 counts. Seconds count. Choosing when to creep can be very vital as well espically late game. if ur not careful and u miss-scout you can lose. I really dont want to get into strategy about wc3. and sc but in all honesty i dont think sc is far ahead in terms of strategy. i say that because Strategy is less involved on ur build order but more in depth on what u do in the map. and how you plan to gain map control/divert ur enemy and any number of a limitless ammount of combinations. And miss scouting, what i was refering to is securing how you are creeping. if you creep and dont know where ur opponent is and ur at an even position, you can really be behind in the game. Even with a TP u can still lose alot of units. and when u TP ur opponent knows where u are and thats when you really gain a map edge and can creep on his turf. | ||

Also, isn't this the same trailer they showed last year on D3's announcement? The guy just said defiler use was extremely easy. It's fucking hard as hell to use defilers in tandem with mass units. He's just raving over and over about how intense micro is with a total of 10 units. Thing is, you can micro 10 units of Starcraft as well. Early ling vs Zealot micro, although I would agree not as intense, still requires the basic elements of surround, pulling units out before dying, etc. Except you have to macro at the same time, which includes BOTH unit production and worker production.

What..? -Soft counters and "strategies" also exist in SC... that's what makes the game so brilliant... -Ok, SC doesn't have creeps, but uh... I don't want them? I would contest that it adds depth to the game, I think SC would be worse with creeps. -Seconds count in SC as well, everything actually comes down TO the second... you miss something by 2 seconds you can die easily to an all-in strat, etc. -I would say scouting is significantly more important in SC than WC3, but I'd need someone to back me up on that, as I never played WC3 extensively -What you do on the map and such is tactical, is it not? Strategy is choosing what you want to employ and how you want to employ it, buying time and diverting attention is tactical. | ||

That all is in Starcraft, I don't know what you're trying to prove. Seconds matter more in Starcraft, if anything, since Warcraft has such a slow unit speed and game pace in comparsion.
