Like the auto-mine feature that was introduced, and yet the first worker has to be build manually. It's just all so random. | ||

Why didn't they just adjust the size of the animation to the actual scan size? I'd say the very simple reason they don't do that is because it'd look rather silly. The area is pretty much an entire screen, covering the entire screen in an animation isn't really a good idea. | ||

You'll know which buildings the terran has/hasnt seen and which units they have/havent seen now there'll never be any guessing as to weather or not the terran knows you've got mutas coming or collosus or whatever | ||

I mean really, whining about scan radius matching its actual radius, and pretending to be serious about it? | ||

It didn't need to happen and it's just one more thing to add to the easierness? of the game.  if anythng it helps you, dont you see whitera warping in DTS? the scanning player of course knows where his vision is but it helps the player being scanned to know just how far he sees. I dont like the idea because it makes no sense: how can the player being scanned know the radius? Do the other races have scan detection technology the is not explicitly mentioned? No big deal though. I think its a cool added feature. But is there some tech??? haha what i mean is, how does zerg and protoss know about the scan? There was already a swirling animation. Do they have a technology to explain the feature? | ||

I mean, where is the difference between the two? They both provide easy information that can be learned the hard way, and give a nice advantage to the defending player. To be honest, I don't mind these changes (it makes life easier for the bad players, and gives the pro players the possibility to spend their time on other things), what annoys me is the inconsistency in which they are applied. Like the auto-mine feature that was introduced, and yet the first worker has to be build manually. It's just all so random. That's not random; that's a choice (though one rarely taken). If you're 6-pooling, being forced to spend 50 minerals on a Drone you don't want is having choices taken away from you. | ||
