I have yet to not lag. It's most likely a hardware issue on my end but every command I give has a predictable, absolutely constant 1s lag. Setting rally points, stimming, telling units to move, they all happen a second after I issue the command. It's definitely something coded into starcraft rather than some random internet spike, but I'm guessing it's just because my compy's running right below lowest specs.
Still would be nice to have blizzard tell me what it is exactly that's requiring an entire second of response time. Oddly enough it renders the "mouse clicked" animation immediately, it just doesn't do the important stuff until a second after

Agree with all the poll results btw!^^ I like you people's opinions!

Yeah, I'm really lovin' these polls. Really interesting to see peoples input! I only voted on the ones that I had enough knowledge about... I've only been playing on about 2 different maps, so I refrained from the map polls. I'm interested in seeing more xD

Great polls, however some of the answers I couldn't truthfully answer correctly. Such as what game will be better as an esport, etc. There should have always been a i don't know or other option on each poll.

I like SCII so far, and considering its only beta.... :0?

A case could be made that warp-in is broken at its current tech tree position, and that the hydra and brood lord need slight nerfs.

roaches need to have less hp, ghost emp needs to cost more energy or something, and i think thats the start to being balanced

I have 2 issues with the actual game play (in regards to zerg)

The first being that the sounds, for the most part, are pretty bad. They're either too bland, or simply not distinguishable enough (I seem to constantly not notice my extractor being done until 10-15 seconds afterwards because the sound is so quiet and ambient). The same applies for unit spawning sounds as well. The only one that actually has a good "completion" sound is the queen, in my opinion.

The 2nd issue I have is roaches being too important for the Zerg early game (not to mention they are the dominant unit in ZvZ, making it a step back from what ZvZ was in SC1-- less depth and less intense micro). Note that I'm not saying they're over powered, it just feels as though they are a must have. (Also, not having any anti air until t2 with the exception of the queen is rather annoying).

Also, this is more of a side note: perhaps I'm still too much in an SC1 mindset but I hate the map pool and how difficult it is to secure a natural. The lack of being able to secure an early expansion subtracts a lot of depth from possible builds and strategies that could be utilized. (Also, it doesn't help that most of the maps have incredibly short rush distances).

That said though, I still absolutely love this game

I think you're doing something wrong, I dominate the map on Desert Oasis.... You're either not scouting efficiently or you're just being a chicken shit about expanding.

This thread is surprisingly epic. Hopefully more people vote. Some of the stuff was surprising to me but overall I think the results are to be expected.

Great stuff

you cannot have a "favorite map" poll with lost temple inside
it's like having a "favorite progamer" poll with boxer as an option

Thanks for your responses, andLxRouge, that shouldn't be required considering I noted at the top that you shouldn't even answer the polls unless you have a beta key. Although I'm sure some did anyway.

Or of course, maybe that was just a joke I missed involving the massive amount of "I have no beta key" posts found around the forum recently. =P

Awesome pool compilation, i guess blizzard can use this to take a look at the community input. Only question i think is kinda unnecessary is which one is a better esport right now between sc and sc2, its way too obvious right now sc is totally better since sc2 is in the early stage beta

Btw may i suggest polls about nydus worm and warpgates?

First post needs some work, no potion for "Nothing is IMBA"
I believe everything is pretty good people just don't know how to use everything yet.
Also think about this as the first of 3. There will be 2 expansion packs so things WILL get fixed.

Remember when SC1 Came out. so much rage. but its perfectly balanced now.

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

1sec? probably something wrong with your internet, when i play with rl friends i have perfect lan, in all my games i had like 2 games where the lan setting was ~1sec delay and it was 2v2
which either caused by one of the 3 guys to have crap internet or hardware problems
