As if it takes that much skill to count them. If anything it just removes that annoyance. In that case let's remove the game timer and also the life bars, since skilled players should be able to have the game time in their heads and also have the units selected to see how much damage their taking instead of it being displayed easily to them.

The truth is that this is something convenient and it makes sense to have this info displayed. And you will never lose or win a game purely because of this.

This is one of those tiny things that no one is going to complain about when HotS is released.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Blizzard just doesnt get it. We need to have a lot of mundane and hard tasks in the game that can keep us clicking all over the place to hide the fact there's literally ZERO strategy in the game.

I was hoping that in HOTS they would finally remove MBS, automine, smart cast, and cap the selected units to 12.

When will they learn??

I already made a post in HOTS Info updates but I think this change deserve its own thread(if not close this please)

So basicly now in HOTS your main buildings(nexus, hatch, cc) now display number of worker on your mineral fields+gas? What do you guys think?

I personally don't like it very much. It makes it a LOT easier to know when to transfer workers to a new base, but on the other hand that's exactly what a skilled player should check all the time, spent some APM on it etc, It makes quite a difference if your saturation is perfect or your base is over/under saturated. Now EVERYONE would have a perfect saturation in every base.



You don't even know if its spectator only.

If it doesn't affect pro players, then it will not have any real effect on the game.

Unlike MBS, which actually changes macro, this does absolutely nothing. All it accomplishes is giving information that is redundant to everyone except for casual noobs.

Doesn't affect the game at the highest level. Nice information to have displayed.

Good change, spectator or in-game.

If we want more people to understand and appreciate the game we should embrace changes like this.
As others have said, it wont change a thing at high level play so why bitch about it?

There will be plenty more micro intensive things to do with the new units so overall the game will definitely be harder to play after hots.

Yeah, this is not a big deal, but I'd rather go without it.

Seems like HOTS is moving away from base management and more into unit management/micro.

This is a lot bigger than people think. It makes it way easier to saturate your bases and update rally points properly. One of the trademarks of a skilled player is being able to ensure these things amid everything else that happens in a game. It really is making less tasks/actions be needed.

From a competitive standpoint, I dislike it.

The vespene geyser change is way different than this.

Keep this for spectator only, please!

Zero effect to anyone Masters and up. Its good to help the noobs, so I appreciate this change for them.

Meh, it's like in the geisers: you can see how many workers are in a geiser without clicking it. I'm ok with it, don't think it will make that much of a difference, since generally people aren't so precise with the worker count on each base that they will transfer 1 worker because they read in the building that they have 17 workers on minerals.

For the "noobs" it'll help them known if they've saturated their bases.
For the pros... I really doubt they care at all. Honestly, why would they care?

So basically, it makes a difference only for people that don't know how to check if their base is saturated. Not a big deal.


It's taking one of the skills that you have to learn away from the game. Destiny when coaches always tells his students to ctrl+click his drones and keep checking. Even Diamond players sometimes forget to do that.

If all they have to do is click their hatch, it becomes much easier.

I am used to double clicking my workers and seeing how many rows I am not (minus 2-4 for gas workers).

Try to keep tabs that way if I have to few or to many.

Exactly my thought. I am all for play difficulty but this is in the same arena as MBS and auto-mine which were predicted to ruin the game. IMO if a player has 300 APM I want to see it in the battlefield and army production not in moving miners to minerals or checking saturation 20 times.

If Blizzard listened to the community on these issues we would have to enter the Konami code to select a unit or building and have no hotkeys because "only the pros should be able to do anything".
