EPTBut I realize this feature would probably bring a ton a balance issues (mobility issue with siege tanks for example, vs a zerg army that would be out of trouble so quickly, huge late game armies that would be a hassle to move out of the way everytime). We can expect lava to be horrible on a competitive level, at the same time, for the spectator, this would be a great show to watch.

yep horrible grammar ftw. No but in all seriousness. Terrans are VERY mobile in sc2, not to mention from the reports it seems they mostly go bio + medvac vs any race. Zerg don't have that kind of mobility Toss is very mobile with the floating pylons. | ||

It would be worth trying, but there are some scenarios in which it would be too disruptive. | ||

Many maps need a gimmick. This would be perfect. Imagine what's next... Maps could be very unique. We'll just wait and see. | ||
