Combine this with the fact that splitting selected units away from a control group (which will have a fundamental and significant impact on zerg and not the other races because of adding eggs), the mechanical requirement of zerg will be ridiculously low, and in theory, a player could just spazz around the map making chaos without ever sacrificing macro or fucking up control groups(which often happens in the current state of the game if a player is being too spastic)
It seems to me as if this change would have much more magnitude than most people think, and lead to some huge fundamental changes in balance and expose a big caveat in design, right?

We're still months from release, so there's still plenty of time to tweak things.

I personally believe that they should remove some of the dumbed down mechanics, like auto worker mining from rally points and put a cap on unit selection. Broodwar was fun to me because I had to constantly maintaining everything

I don't think you can predict what will happen. If you haven't read G3n's post ("New Macro = Good!?") about his experiences without the macro mechanics I recommend it: www.teamliquid.net

I enjoyed levelling Zerg from bronze up to platinum the most, specifically because I got to work only on my macro (nowadays in diamond it's oh I misclicked my banelings once in ZvZ, gg)
Micro is boring to me: my favourite bit of micro is when i jump back to my base to do my injects and creep spread, thinking "man, my opponent is probably just focussing on the fight, so even if he wins this one, I'm going to win the next one".

Do you feel that the only thing holding you back from controlling the game perfectly is the macro mechanics?

For that to be possible there needs to be macro mechanics that can be performed to much greater effect in a great player
I mean im pretty much completely new to the macro mechanics debate so there are plenty of points i havent read up on and shit

Balance is out of the window anyways currently. There are many problem areas that most likely will need a tweak or two, just because of the new units and the 12worker start and other protoss changes (and the ones that are to come). It's the perfect time to throw this in when changes need to be made eventually anyways.
To your specific concerns: Zerg loses 30% of their unit production in the early game (and also later on but then it's probably easier to overcome). Terran just lols and drops a supply depot instead of a mule, which is less value but a far, far, far smaller nerf to their tempo. And they are already profiting from the 12worker start in that department. Chrono is probably a much bigger problem because it makes certain strategies - in particular +1zealots vs zerg or double upgrade vs terran - a lot weaker or plainly unplayable. Though there may already be replacements (adepts for the anti-zergling).

Isn't this exactly the direction in which we want the game to move? Ideally, the baseline mechanical requirement for each of the races is roughly the same, regardless of macrobooster design implemented. This means that the game, disregarding player versus player interactions, is roughly the same difficulty for the two players. Now, this does not mean that the game becomes holistically "easier", if you take away macroboosters, but you're merely shifting the attention to the player versus player interactions. The difficulty of the game becomes relatively more dependent on how well you can exploit your opponent, or how good the opponent is good at exploiting your weaknesses, and less about how well you did your homework in terms of injecting well or mule'ing well.
There's a lot of nuance and benefit to be had from preparation in terms of worker-supply-command structures, building positioning and tech-army-economy aspects of the game. I think most starcraft 2 players forget how much complexity that is in the base Starcraft game that they think that once macroboosters are taken away, the game is completely dumbed down. It's not.

I think it's interesting that Blizzard have said that the zerg macro mechanic isn't "fun"
I personally love the flow of quickly moving through my bases and injecting all of them, seeing my queen energy low and thinking "god that was pro as fuck, i'm just like Life". Performing something difficult on the same level as the pro players is fun and rewarding for me.

I do agree with you, but I think his point is that protoss and terran have to queue up a lot more shit in their bases than zerg and it's balanced out by zerg having to inject so frequently. And I'm not sure he is right, I'm forgetting to put down my roach warren all the time hehe. And Protoss queing up stuff is already a thousand times easier than terran with queuing back workers and shit and then putting down addons for every building imo. Also the amount of upgrades and buildings zerg needs is a bit underrated I think. The spending in infrastructure are quite similar for zerg unless the game goes really late and Terrans/Protoss start techswitching.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be the case if Zerg (who didn't have inject) wasn't stacking up larva on their hatcheries, they would have to keep building to spend their resources.
To be honest, I don't mind the macroboosters objectively on the argument of difficulty. The really bad thing is how it influences unit design. For example, zerg units being weaker to avoid remax being op, core gateway units being weaker to avoid chronoboosted warpgate pushes being op. And then the wonky design alleviating those weaknesses (forcefields and MSC for example). I wouldn't mind the game progressing a lot slower if it means I can have robust core units.

I mean, you are basically voicing the same concern as the "soO mechanics"-article of stuchiu. It's something that I'm not sure of how big of an effect it has, especially on the highest levels. I think this would be very much a problem on the bottom of the ladder if zergs just have a lot more production, but at the top? Meh, we see quite good injects when it matters anyways. That's a bit of nounces I think, especially since injects have already been semiautomated to hitting some keyboard & mouse-combos with backspace/location hotkey-tricks that don't force you to really be exact or anything. Just to remember clicking those keys every X-seconds. So it is not like zerg really "looks back to the base" by injecting. They just go on an "idle"-mechanics check every 40seconds.

Injecting feels zergy and is kinda fun in a way. After reading up on arguments for both sides im honestly content with just sitting back and letting more educated and dedicated people take the reins, lol
