vs oracles the alert doesn't really save you either if your units are out of position.
You can still move your SCV or something. WM is really the only unit that might kill your entire mineral line without any real notice.
They should make WM arriving in your base say "hi, we're here to obliterate you. Have a good day."
It would be actually nice for us low level players. At pro level, if you need such thing, you have already lost.
Moreover, the really hardcore players play without sound.
I play listening to death metal. Sometimes I can't even hear my probes getting massacred by marines, not to mention that subtle "burrow" sound WM makes

I thought for a second I should find some death metal so that I learn how that actually sounds, but then I have dismissed the idea due to having enough nightmares already and realizing I can probably live without this cultural knowledge as this is about the second time ever I have ever heard about this genre.

I dislike adepts and I'm sick of seeing them in every matchup. And I'm protoss. Here, feeling better? Luckily the charge cost change helped, at least on ladder.

You've listened to esports break music before so you are immune to musical scares now

Best metal is death metal. But if you can't stand growl then you might have hard time getting into it. Well, if you're interested PM me. ;]

That is quite true I have also listened to some Czech horrorcore rap, because I wanted to know what the fuss was about when a guy producing that got banned from a nationwide music competition - and I understood why some people feel uncomfortable with songs about raping a girl that you hold locked in your basement and such. Interestingly, the very same guy has a semifamous facebook profile when he draws absolutely terrible (like a 3 yo child) comics about the most stupid puns in Czech and it's absolutely hillarious.
