After all this is a spectators' sport - at least they earn at spectators. You can't really see one counting works, but you definitely will (and what's even more important - want to) see pros doing insane micro tricks and creating new strategies... | ||

Or are you one of those people who think less information = better? So let's remove things like supply counts and mineral shrinking animation and upgrade progress and game timer and no. of resources because clearly a good player would be able to keep track of all of these and we don't need to make the game any easier!! Why are you laughing? Are you claiming that a top master player won't be able to perfectly manage his workers after this hits? If you are then I don't know what to say. You just don't understand the game at a high enough level. Either that or you don't understand what separates a pro gamer from a master player. It's mostly multitasking you know. Most top master players will have picture perfect macro when playing against a bronze player. It's doing things when you are pressured by another good player that is hard. Removing one of those tasks completely from the game instantly levels a player like me who lacks multitasking compared to pro gamers to a level closer to them. A level that I shouldn't be at because I have done nothing to deserve it. The game simply got easier. | ||

Good players are already on top of stuff like this, but it will help the learning curve for the nubs in the lower leagues that are trying to get used to everything. Games like SC2 have a steep learning curve to completely new players. How doesn't it make it easier? If you're eliminating having to learn this skill, you have made it easier. Edit: I really hope it's just spectator mode. | ||

If you don't like it, there will surely be different graphical options available for those of you who wish to turn it off. | ||

Thank you for this information. This is a relief to hear. It's actually a great addition for spectators. Especially to analyser your own replays. | ||

Its is right in front of your eyes, you dont have to force yourself to remember to do it, the game tells you to do it. Its pretty big. If you're serious about that analogy, the game tells you to not get supply blocked all the time in the top right corner of the screen. You don't even have to click. This change is meaningless. The things that matter and make a good player are knowing when to make how many workers, when to transfer, being able to spend all money, not getting supply blocked, gas timings, expaning before mining out ... so many things the number doesn't help with at all. Why is Ret the king of drones? Because he can ... count? Especially as zerg, going up to 24 just because you want a saturated base can be the decision that kills you. | ||

Skill ceilings shouldn't be defined by limiting the interface. By this logic, your idea of a perfect game would be playing hide-and-seek with blindfolds. | ||

Or how about this: let's have you play a game where an observer helps you by telling you the no. of workers you have every time you press a CC to mimic this change. And we compare your macro to DRG/nestea. OK? | ||
