In a game with small amounts of units like Company of heroes (to name one as an example) this makes perfect sense. But in a game based around economics and trading army units this could just ramp out of control so quickly. Imagine a +3(+3)/+3(+3)/+3(+3) attack/armour/shield colossus - as a terran player this is terrifying.

How about it just look cooler? This way when an army attacks some unit will look badass while some unit looks ghetto

I'm trying so hard to not flame this guy.

OP, this is atrociously terrible. SC2 needs less focus on micromanagement, not more. Having to single out upgraded units in a fight would be a complete nightmare for both players.

This will make comebacks impossible.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Bad idea in SC2. Personally, I pray for Wc4, I'm pretty sure it would see alot more success than SC2. That's a game where this sort of thing makes sense.

An RTS utilizing DotA mechanics is certainly interesting. But SC2 is not the place to experiment with that.

Sounds like a job for the Galaxy Editor though!

No, I don't think SCII needs anything like this.

If you make Banelings out of Zerglings that are leveled up already.

Terrible Idea, terrible OP. Do not approve. But to all those who compare this to warcraft 3 levelling mechanics, you are just ignorant, because you dont know what you are talking about. /thread closed.

What if a drone levels up and becomes a Baneling Nest, will all the banelings start with a higher level?

Probably, on gold rank(highest level) Baneling Nest can move slowly on creep.

I wish they would address this actually.

Skins, range indicators, health/energy/cooldown bars that are mandatory for a good level experience of the game, decals, rotating team icons... Even on low settings, the screen is a mess and lacks clarity. More on/off options would be welcome so that those who wish to relieve the screen of such overload can do so.

Some of the stuff that is suggested in this forum, is pretty weird.... Units levelling up is just not something that should be in starcraft

honestly making a unit change skins once it achieves enough kills (no added stat bonuses) that blizzard could sell at a bonus cost for each wcs event that would be contributed to the prize pool would be a great idea to get the fans in on supporting the sc2 esports scene. Honestly making a different texture model for each event shouldn't be that hard and bundled along with some other perks and sell for like 5 bux i think alot of people would go for that.

No.
