Maybe someone has already mentioned this. But the poll is terribly flawed. It asks which is the most fun we've had. But we've never had a version with no inject.

No Macro Boosters (Chrono, Mule, Inject Removed) (347)


How can so many people vote that this is the most fun they've had, when it never happened? Anyway, I voted that way also because I think they should all be removed. But the wording in the poll is just bad, the results are tainted. And that's enough for Blizzard to totally discredit/ignore this poll.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

Thank you for pointing out the mistake. I edited the op. I still think the poll is meaningful, just a typo.

Neat idea, but I just don't think that will happen, nor do I want it to.

Guys its the same story every time.
Blizzard will not listen to this poll and they are right to do so. Forum polls never accuratly represent the playerbase. Its a pre selected sample group of people who tend to have a problem or are unhappy with the state of the game.
People that are unhappy with the state of the game tend to complain and seek to reinforce their opinion with same minded people which they find on the forums. People happy with the game play the game...

I think they need to remove all of them.

Mule hammers late game solved.
Sudden supply spikes from z solved (unfavorable to T and P).
Protoss BS reduced.

I think it will be alot more interesting but this would mean that units require re-balancing.

Thank you for the quite first optimistic post you made. Mind suggesting how can we get an actual sample from the player base? We are trying to spread this everywhere we can. Do you know any other way that could help us? Or we are just doomed to fail?

What hitpoint said is indeed a big flaw.

But eyk123, i think there is no problem with forum polls, just take it as what it is, something that represents a specific community. Its not supposed to represent all players. I think the opinion from this community is relevant, its a pretty big group, just put a "e-sport enthusiast and forum peep" tag.

I never voted btw, still not sure.

edit: maybe people in other places will vote too and it becomes less biased towards whatever TL community thinks.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

This is not limited to TL. I shared this on BNET Forums and on Reddit (Typical reddit because I'm not a known person I get downvoted)

We are trying to spread this everywhere to get the largest possible sample. If you know other places that we could spread this it would be nice.

Macro is awesome. Macro mechanics are the best part of the game. And by that I mean building supply, units, and structures. Macro boosters are cancer and make the game too volatile. That said, anything is better than automation.

I always felt it was consistent. Can you explain why you feel this way? I always felt it was just a quirk of the race, like anything else unique to that race. I like that they are different, the same way I appreciate the other differences.

Neat idea, but I just don't think that will happen, nor do I want it to.

I like the overall idea of each race having more uniqueness (especially concerning macro). With WG protoss has taken a huge step in being different from terran (they were much more similar in BW). However I like the idea of making choices like should I PF my 3rd or not. I think things of that nature are good for the game. The mechanics (as they currently are or were in HotS) however come so early in the tech tree (or immediately for ). Instead of providing an early economy (or production) boost they were further up and provided a way to jump into the late game easier....

actually even typing that it reminds me why I just want them removed! I don't want a mechanic that boosts income (or production). Want more income, build more workers. Want to increase worker production, build more town halls.

Mechanics like creep spread add a cool dynamic and something to fight over (too bad it seems to only really affect ZvT). I like the choice of orbital vs pf and scan vs supply call down.

My preferred macro mechanics:

Zerg
No injects AT ALL. Have Z make extra hatches to up their production, more in line with P&T making production buildings.
Queens still have creep, transfuse (and general base defense) to attend to.
Terran
Remove mules COMPLETELY.
Orbitals still have scans and supply call down.
Protoss
Keep (a form of) chrono boost.
To give P something they have to consider too.




I Protoss winner, could it be?
