How can anyone be against removing tedious, boring, archaic skill-requirements in order to allow players to do better and more interesting things with their APM?

Perhaps it's an option that you can turn off if you want. Either way who cares? This community gets riled up about the most pointless shit sometimes.

Don't like it, but it won't matter much.

really redundant imo. you can already drag select each min line to see how many workers you have. it might take some SKILL, but you are mainly relying on the saturation of each base instead of the specific drone count (IE have 60 workers at your main).

What I'm afraid of is that, by adding that kind of facilitator to the game, good players can beat very good players quite often in HotS. It is already much more the case in WoL than in BW, but not at an extended that turn competition into a joke. Will see...

Won't have much impact on anything. I would prefer it to be spectator only, but it's not like boxing the mineral line takes much longer. It's easy to see when it's over/under saturated anyway. This is the last thing we should be worried about in the grand scale of HotS.

Doesn't really matter.

I don't know how I feel about that. As a mid-level player, it's one thing off my mind, but it feels like it's hand holding instead of a skill that should be learned.

Yeah, it's not a big deal, but I'm in favor of it. I want the game to be hard, but I don't want it to be hard because you have lots of stupid menial tasks to perform.

What the fuck does it matter. I don't even need to know exact numbers to tell me if I'm saturated, I know out of experience. This doesn't have a huge effect on the game even if it goes through, deal with it.

Also if you guys so want to play a more difficult game go play sc2 with a joystick or go to bw...

don't see how this is even worth complaining about. or are you only doing so because you can?

I agree with VPCursed.

If you think a change as small as this is going to magically make a Diamond Player beat a High Master's player, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

you can roughly see the saturation from mining patterns, so it's not needed for me.. Maybe when someone just starts playing...
But i don't really see why not.

For the people who are not able to count this will help a lot. For the rest: who cares?

I remember this other thread, about a game clock or something and some people not liking it.. Also, where is my "I don't care, because it won't change anything" button?
