I've conjured up a large list of polls for us, the SC community, to answer about SC2 as a whole. I've decided to do this not only to satisfy my own curiosity, but just to see what our community thinks about various beta issues. If you have any polls of your own you'd like to add, feel free to do so! Oh, and be sure to add any comments you have as well, I'd hate to see this fall off the thread list due to no posting activity, haha.
Please don't participate unless you actually have hands-on experience with the beta.
If you're unsure about a poll, just choose your best answer or skip it.

imo Edit:Desert Oasis needs to be removed I hate how the map is laid out for zerg, I'm afraid to expand because I can't defend my nat and main so I end up teching nydus worm or drop to take the islands.

I think you're thinking of desert oasis. There are no islands on blistering sands.

could you put them in spoilers and above them put what the question is about?
EDIT: (bad spelling and stuff)
Can you put the entire second series in spoilers?
|
They need to tweak zerg and stop nerfing protoss and the game will be fine imo
|
Very nice set of polls . Blizzard might actually find this useful information if they read it and it keeps growing.
|
dont you guys feel the terran music is much different from the other 2? I mean, zergs and protoss has that continous melody that you forget once you get into the game. But terran, the music is dynamic that my play actually tends to slow down when the beat slows down. 
I believe terran should have a more standard theme, but i understand they wanted to make terran's music 'as creative as the human race could be'.

Is the latency acceptable?
57% - Yes
Ridiculous, no wonder it's never going to get fixed, too many people are satisfied with 1 second delay on LAN or custom games
|
I'd like to see how many of each race answered the certain questions to see how the answers are distributed. Unless this data can be pulled from the DB somehow you should have thrown this up on SurveyMonkey or something.
IMO roaches are too strong vs the nerfed Toss. PvZ is really hit or miss if someone does a shitty build or expands I can sneak a DT in, but forget about templar teching until you get a nat.
And I'm still not sold on whether Marauders are OP. They are a bit strong, but manageable in PvT.
Also to all the people that think Banshees aren't OP... cmon rly? Those things rape probes and stalkers without any hassle. They need a nerf.

From what I've read not many people actually experience this kind of lag, I'm guessing it has a lot to do with how close you live to the closest blizz servers.
|
I wish there was better theme music for protoss and zerg... kind of makes me want to switch to terran =|
but the game itself is fairly good for a 2 week old beta. And by polished, I think you guys mean "does the race lend itself to its main characteristics to which we saw prevalent in SC1". - and yes I agree, protoss is most like its SC1 counterpart.

How can more people think that micro is dead compared to macro... also surprised nobody likes Metalopis.

I really like Metropolis but you have to pick 1 that is your favorite 
Steppes of War for me, I love the ultra aggression it puts into the game and Deflecting rushes while I FE
|
I'm also surprised that people think zerg is strong. But I suppose it could just be the result of people playing fewer zerg on the ladder because only 1 in 5 opponents is zerg, so they get less practice.

Yeah Metalopis is my fav map too, guess it's too rad for some people.
Overall i think SC2 is fairly balanced it has it's issues but none that's game breaking.
|
Metalopolis is a fine map but it's too dark. It makes zerg pretty hard to identify sometimes.
It's one of the better maps I wish it had a different time of day setting though
|
Interesting poll, voted (on most things).
|
great polls and a lot of important fields covered. Nice job
This kind of polls would be great to be done every 10 days or so, so we can see if the peoples take on stuff changes and by how much.

I have zero latency issues but then again I live in connection-heaven Sweden.
