I know it's hard to be objective rather than selfish when forming an opinion about something, but I recommend that you try hard to understand that what's best for you in the short-term isn't necessarily what's best for Starcraft or you in the long-term. Don't you want big tournaments? Big viewership? More investment in the game? Or do you only care about what "you" like at this exact moment? Could you live with less macro in exchange for these things? And yes, going mainstream can be done while maintaining the strategic and tactical depth that we've come to know with SC2. It's surely possible to have a fun game with depth. The onus is on the development team to stop being lazy and actually do something, rather than wait it out and clone HotS. | ||

There are always people like and dislike the changes. It's just that we usually whine louder than applaud, so negative feedback stand out. | ||

 comebacks from 5 scvs or boost from 200 to 3000 income should not be possible | ||

The multiple inject thing, imo, is incredibly stupid and I dont think will stick. Use up your transfuse energy doing that, It just feels like an attempted band-aid fix. While there wasnt even an attempt at a band-aid for the mules is rather disappointing. I'd like to see the mule hammer end. I wish they walked a middle line between these macro boosters. keep the mule but keep them from stacking, so at any point you could only drop 1 per CC or so you can only drop them within a certain range.. That way supply drops are still used and scans are more strategic. Honestly, at this point I just feel frustrated. I want to go hibernate for the winter and hope when I wake its all perfect... | ||

the only two real changes (mule and overlord drop) just revert past changes, and photon overcharge just nerfs something obviously OP that nobody prefers over the hots version and that will prolly be reverted in the next patch again id say im disappointed only that after the last patch disaster i didnt expect more edit: overlooked the spawn larvae change. meh. i guess they are trying to find a mediocre compromise between old but stupid (MM) and new but impossible to balance for them (no MM) | ||

The last 3 patches showed it: first patch - mule removed - terran was unplayable - up to 30% or even less income compared to the other races, not to mention, you lose workers, you're dead (that was true for protoss too at that point) second patch - the auto mules - terran economy was okayish, still, late game income was not so ok third(current patch) - back to HotS stuff, nothing to comment on it | ||

The funny thing is I didn't see much complaining by Terran players about the mule removal. Most of the frustration seemed to be about the lack of income because Blizzard didn't compensate for it in any way. I'd be very surprised if the majority of Terran players would object to the mule being removed as long as there were changes made to keep Terran economy in line with the other races. And it really doesn't appear to me that most Zerg and Protoss players are fans of mules. Seems like a bit of a no-brainer to get rid of the thing... | ||

Instead, they try to release the game even earlier, what a fuck-up, the problem is their schedule and unwillingness to change the economy/starting workers. | ||

Yeah, I hated the Idea of removing them when I first heard about them. I seriously considered a race change. HOWEVER, after I tried out the removed mechanics, I found I was having a lot more fun playing the game. I'm actually not looking forward to going back now | ||

Wc3 had a much more active and casual community with active map making, clans, interaction. People actually played teams competitively. Sc2 was a failed launch and it's never recovered from that. Blizzard got too into the broodwar mentality, almost becoming delusional thinking every mainstream person was going to devote their lives to becoming a hardcore gamer with no reward and very little incentive. Too much intensity at launch and for a year after drove away people. Whoever chose not to include chat channels in the launch needed to be fired immediately, ultimately it is Dustin Browders responsibility. They should have fired him and put someone else in there. Broodwar had a quite vivid casual community too and many custom and team games were played. A huge clanwar scene with a wide range from noobs to top players. Even nation wars were played A LOT! In SC2 there is not much else then money tournaments, ladder and pro scene. | ||

Most high rank players in Korea wanted to remove MACRO. and now see what happened. Why did you get feedback from that? I can't understand it. MACRO only bring us getting tired of gaming. Wait, what? | ||

There are hundreds of possible solutions where you cannot sacrifice SCVs but Blizzard is stubborn with MULEs. They need to find their balls and start doing decisions. E.g. - remove MULE, add a spell on OC that for some energy will overclock SCVs in the target area so they can mine faster. This way you have to have SCVs and you can have higher income for a period of time. Just a stupid idea off the top of my head right now. | ||
