It's pretty simple. The icon is a placeholder I imagine, but the button itself is fully functional. | ||

I'm all for making the user interface as easy and simple to use as possible but giving the players extremely simple controls is NOT good for competitive play. Do you REALLY think this is going to make a difference in competitive play? Top tier players already have distinct control groups for different types of units, they're not just gonna start "1+A"ing just because a new button has been introduced to the UI. People are being really ridiculous about a lot of these new gameplay changes. They help the lower leagues out as they focus on other aspects of the game. It won't make a difference to the people at the top. | ||

They are definitely not the same company, I never heard all of this "our more casual players need baby sitting day in and day out" talk before the activision merger. | ||

When I logged into one of them, it links me directly to download HotS beta client. The other one just goes to good old battle.net account details. I'm now pretty certain that if/when you log in, and get redirected to download client, it means you will be receiving a beta key shortly! | ||

The changes don't affect high level/pro play in the slightest. How in the world is it a bad thing to help ease new players into the game? Any change that doesn't affect high level play but helps newbies is good for the long-term health of SC2. | ||

Adding an idle army button is another way to dumb down the game further and encourages you to just gather up your units... An FYI, command and conquer has "global select" all units, this is a command and conquer feature meant for "noobs." I doubt pros will use it very often, but still...it's going the wrong direction imo. We will see. Just because the feature exists, doesn't mean it will encourage the skill ceiling to be lowered. | ||

Here you go. It's in spoiler, the reason I cut up the first image was so people could see detail without having to open in a new tab. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EtM7d.jpg) | ||

Yeah, see how well that worked out for a lot of other games. No sir, I won't support them anymore, you are free to do as you please, of course. | ||

It won't make a difference to the people at the top. No, it means they WANT people to make attack-move deathballs. In other words, they encourage and design units around this type of play. If it were not so, Blizzard ends up in the same conundrum. Imagine a casual bronze dude get punished because he made a deathball, "WAAAAAAAAAAH, this game is too hard, I go back to LoL!!!". The continual dumbing down of the game means Blizzard will do everything to make the game deathball friendly. | ||
