Protoss has to use perfect forcefields and zerg needs perfect surround. Get over it, every race requires alot of micro but its different approaches to it. In defense of terrans even tho I'm not one..they need good split in TvZ, and EMP, snipes in PvT. Also don't forget we protosses need good Feedbacks, Storms, and blink micro | ||

Depending on the numbers on the Waround, TvT might be like ZvZ where you just get tons of Warhouds and try to form the better concave with upgrades. At least you can burrow-move roaches, Warhounds have literally no fun utility. | ||

Warhounds look... perfect. It's a high-damage tanky unit with long range and great speed. It looks cheap, supply efficient and good against everything. It's big and beefy enough to not be vulnerable to splash damage. I wonder what the idea is supposed to be with them because I can't see what this unit is supposed to be about. | ||

Both have the same problem - being terribly boring - specially entomb. They couldn't have made a more one dimensional spell even if they tried. Exactly! It is terribly boring. But we as players and spectators have learned one thing we did not know in WoL: If we do not shout loud enough, some things that are detrimental for the game will stay. The Colossus stayed in WoL because B themselves did not see how poorly designed the unit was. And, we did not make our voices heard so they kept it. This time we know that even poor design choices will stay, and have stayed in WoL, so if we do not step up, it will stay, just like Colossus did, just like Mothership did, just like Thor did. People kept saying the mantra: "The Colossus is good, it is cool. GIVE IT TIME." They gave it time, they gave it 2 years, and it must be the worst designed unit in a RTS so far. We can not bide our time and wait for it to evolve, since it wont like we have seen with numerous WoL units. The only unit that actually was hated upon that grew in WoL was the Baneling. It was frowned upon in Beta, and it turned out to be one of the best designed units in WoL. However, Warhound and Entomb are not the Baneling. | ||

Either way it should end the times that Terran players are the only ones that have to micro their heart out. Edit: Infestor not boring? Lol - counter to everything, chain fungal is retarded. I completely agree with you that they should be making the other races more micro demanding. My problem with balancing out the races like this is it makes it harder and harder for the best players to actually dominate. Part of the fun of Broodwar (and to some extent WoL) is there were those transcendent players (Flash, Bisu, Jaedong, Mvp, maybe MC, maybe Taeja, etc.) Worst case scenario is if Blizzard continues to balance races the way they appear to be (less and less micro/macro mechanics to worry about) we will get to a point where the skill ceiling plateaus at a lower level and we'll hit a wall where the skill ceiling will plateau and anyone will be able to beat anyone at any given time. This is really frustrating to me as a spectator of the game, as part of the fun is seeing who's really the best. If we get to a point where there's no consistency in results because the game is too simplistic it will become much more boring to watch. I don't think we're there yet, and likely aren't even close, but so far all the additions (be it auto-mine or warhounds) seem to be pointing towards an easier game where it's harder to differentiate oneself from the elite and "the best". EDIT: I cannot wait for IdrA to get a beta-key and see him face Warhound/BH pushes. | ||
