But I've also coached a few players, and it's really frustrating that thier few months of sc2 are just learning how to inject / : which at it's core is a pretty banal mechanic that has somehow wound up producing some pretty signifigant euphoria in those who can manage them. Personaly I'm fine ethier way and I'm happy to see blizz doing thier best not the alienate ethier side / : but at some point theyre gonna have to lean one way or the other and people are gonna be angry no matter which way that is. | ||

I'm very happy with SC2 being a mechanically demanding game. If you disagree with that point of view that's absolutely fine, that's just a personal opinion, nothing to get upset about. | ||

And either way of understanding the Zerg mechanic they offer is broken. If you can pop 3 larvae on 1 hatch and all spawn at once, that can be exploited obviously. If it goes off 1 at a time, Zerg is basically in the same boat as HotS, and Zerg has always had the short end of the stick when it comes to macro mechanics... and STILL will. But of course Terran can still drop 8 mules at once and get the reward of all Mules at once... Regardless of either method, still BS that risk vs reward is so off. Terran have least risk and can forget about their mechanic past early game if they like, and the only racial mechanic that can literally save the game for them if they lose all SCV's... | ||

I'm not so sure that it's needed for LotV as it was in HotS. same I think working on an overcharge removal would be even more important than anything about macro mechanics, though toning them down would probably suit the pace of the game better as I said countless times. | ||

It is most likely something to pull of to shut down anything we don't like. "We did this internally and we did not like it". Literally we have seen this argument way too much during the beta. | ||

They can also become invisible (burrow) and move. And take up supply. So you stack your hatcheries till no end to build 10 more zerglings as the rest of your army is in queens. | ||

edit: good to see they aren't pandering to the idiots regarding the map pool. having only standard maps would be a terrible idea. | ||

Also REALLY glad they're moving overlord drop to evo tech. While I don't like the individual upgrade mechanic on overlords it seems like putting it in this way is the best way of doing it such that it doesn't conflict with the nydus worm. | ||

If you disagree with that point of view that's absolutely fine, that's just a personal opinion, nothing to get upset about. The problem, outside of making the game almost impossible to get into, is that it rewards only one style of play. Outside of some lucky un scouted timing attacks and cheese the mechanically superior player will just outright win all the time. Lets take the below radar chart. The person (since I was lazy aka "Series 1") will will a disproportionate amount of times compared to the other two players simply because he is superior at one facet of the game. The game should strive to reward all aptitudes not just simply muscle memory. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/5nEgdFs.jpg) | ||
