For clarity...


In BW:

• No matter what, if your unit is on low ground and the target is on high ground, you have a 33% chance to "miss" (for splash units like siege tanks, the splash was offset instead of missing completely).
  
• If your unit is on low ground and the target is on high ground, you can only attack the target if you can see it. You can see it in one of two ways:
  
  • Scouting it (with another unit on the high ground, an air unit, or scanner sweep).
    
  • If the target first attacks you.

In SC2:

• If you can see the target, you have a 100% chance of hitting on an attack.
  
• The ONLY way to see the target is to scout it (with another unit on the high ground, an air unit, or a scanner sweep). You do NOT actually "see" the unit that is attacking you if it is on high ground (in the sense of attacking it back).

Oh yeah I forgot to add, and I don't have a source and this might be hear-say: Blizzard said they will probably change the high ground mechanic advantage in HotS.


And me personally, I think the differences in the high ground mechanic from BW to SC2 had a profoundly negative effect.
