The range thing would be bad, in a game with SC2 lethality rate having garuanted 1-2 Hits more than your enemy is very, very huge.

I never actually thought of this, but it is actually a very good point. If you have a tonne of tanks, colossuses or something else on high ground, the opponents army would get destroyed because those extra range hits are guaranteed.

To really fix this I'm going to have to say that putting the randomness factor back in (at 50% or something) would work really well. As many people have mentioned, randomness and the ability to accept risk and go out on a limb in the right situations is a good skill. It is different to definitely knowing whether or not you will come out of that battle on top.

Maps/games are infinitely more interesting when you throw in high ground everyone wants to control

Currently, I'd rather see the SC1 mechanics for uphill calculations than just needing sight

I was more of a fan of the sight rule before they tossed in that you can see what's firing at you, just not fire back. When a unit is firing on one of yours, you'll see it slightly grayed out. Can't fire back, but you can see what's pegging you and where it is located. That part is lame.

I would much rather have a % damage reduction than a chance to miss when shooting uphill.

% damage reduction and a Expected damage would be the same save for moments of luck which might add more drama.

Wait, I dont have any advantage on the highground ?

Why have I been move-shoot-move-shooting up large ramps then when I can just fire away, and why have I been using my highground so excessively on LT. >.<

Old habits die slow.

Things are looking grim.

I don't think Blizzard is going to make such a big change this far into development. That is, they'd probably have to do a lot of balance adjustments if they implemented a high ground advantage since they've been balancing the game up to this point without it.

Saaaad face.

yeah same here. I hate that they added that. They should remove vision completely and also take away a % of damage of range attacks from low to high ground
