Its an overly simplification of the game.



i disagree . and you have given zero reasons why it should be removed.



Its a skill to optimally saturate your bases and to always have exacly 3 guys on gas. To actually master that is pretty fucking hard. I'm masters and can say I absolutely have not mastered that. Now every idiot can saturate their bases optimally, because it got fucking easy.

Also the fact that basically everybody would have considered that feature a cheat in Wings of Liberty should be enough reason to remove that fast....really fast.

I'm masters and just see it as a distraction that clutters the screen. Learning how to saturate my bases equally and keep count of my workers was the first thing I mastered. It's really not that difficult...


Sure thats why I added in optimally. I'm pretty sure you will have quite many games where you might have 2 or 4 drones in gas for quite some time. Or have a base over- or undersaturated slightly. Won't ever happen again, because Blizzard takes care of that.


No, those games are far and few between, I can't remember last time I fucked up on gas. It takes half a second to notice mistake


Maybe 1 in 100 of my games ill do something stupid like misrally scvs to the gas, and you can't see it easily because all the scvs stack up on each other. The change will help that kinda stuff, but when i see such things in pro matches, i find it actually adds a bit of intrigue to the game, it adds some drama. This is overall a good thing i say. So take the worker counts out plz Blizz.

The gas thing should never be an issue and makes me question your rank. You are aware that a worker count in gas is already in effect, right? You simply click the extractor and it tells you. The only time you see a pro make this error is if they are macroing away from their base, in which case this change would affect nothing because they still wouldn't see it.


Dude that shit is not hard for like the first 15 minutes. But in a TvZ for example where often times hell breaks loose with drops etc. where you will lose workers etc. and you macro of 4-5 bases it is fucking easy to miss these things and to not be optimally saturated at every point in the game.

Blizzard basically removes a potential mistake a player can make which is generally a bad thing.

Again, if you're clicking over your bases so fast that you don't notice that your gas is over/underloaded, you wouldn't see the number either. Seeing 3 medium sized workers>seeing small numbers written in bad text. So I see this as a non-issue and more of a distraction.

Bringing out the important aspects of the UI is call "Surfacing". If it when you have a cluttered, but functional UI for the high end user. These are useless or overwhelming to new users and need to be streamlined to allow them to master the system through use of the most important features.. Windows did this with Microsoft office and Apple does it all the time. Streamling the UI has no effect on the majority of our games, but will assist newer players to playing correctly. And I have no doubt that it will be optional.

It has no affect on anyone who is active on Team Liquid and will only help people taking their first steps into 1v1 Starcraft 2. There is nothing bad about it unless you want the game to be hard to get into for no other reason than it just should be.
