SC2 they are on the top of the units. I find case A > case B. When mass amount of units are present. It is my understanding that seeing the actual models instead of a cluster of health bars would be more beneficial. To address the argument that the health bars are easier to see, I suggest that the colour of the bar is enough to easily distinguish the % of the unit. As for Colour Blindness... make it an option!! (The bars on top or bottom, not the eyesight.) Thanks for listening | ||

[s]at the verry least, allow the option. (but i think it should be default/fixed on bottom)[s] edit: nvm. on top is better (the way it is now). u can't see health of units in a cluster. there's always the alt button and options to have it permanant or toggle. plus, we might say "health bars can be forced to be in front of everything" then if u have a unit with a health bar on bottom, but another unit is below/in front of it, then the healthbar will be of the behind unit, but in front of the front unit. messy, potentially confusing. | ||

It might be a problem if you are trying to snipe single units, for example when feedbacking ghosts. Then again, Ghosts have an energy bar, so you can "snipe the energy bars". | ||

_and I had posted something like this on the Blizzard suggestion forum a couple times, but apparently TL.net is more supportive of rational ideas. | ||

With the bars at the top, it is easy to treat damage units accordingly (transfusion, retreat). It might be a problem if you are trying to snipe single units, for example when feedbacking ghosts. Then again, Ghosts have an energy bar, so you can "snipe the energy bars". i didnt think you could see enemy energy bars... also, picking out one or 2 ghosts in a MM ball is a pain (and i'm a terran player!) | ||

I think a whole column section should be dedicated to the health bar options in starcraft 2. _and I had posted something like this on the Blizzard suggestion forum a couple times, but apparently TL.net is more supportive of rational ideas. i don't think this would work too well, depending on what is behind the see-through bar it could be rather difficult to "read" the bars correctly the best option would be to make the health bars much smaller by removing the oldschool box-style. they already got the health bars perfectly right in warcraft 3, not too small, not too big, easily distinguished. in wc3 it is so much easier to find the wounded units in the heat of battle. | ||

They need to be on the bottom, or at least squeezed thineer with more squares (double the # of squares) | ||

Here are the results: ![[image loading]](http://img3.imageshack.us/i/yamatocannon1.jpg/) You can clearly see the health bars are a lot smaller. | ||
