Hopefully this will be patched soon. These kind of posts make me so goddamn mad. Have you any idea what Starcraft is? Why it's the most interesting multiplayer game ever? | ||

Yea I know what Starcraft is, I just want to know how many vikings my opponent has so that I can get just enough vikings to break the wall. | ||

You asked how it helped and then basically gave one of the reasons. It is something that takes just that tiny bit more of skill and knowledge but makes a unit dramatically better. You can't just whine and say, "But it makes the game harder for me, Johnny Bronze!" I just use "Johnny Bronze" as a placeholder, of course; it doesn't matter if you're in masters even (though I don't understand how someone that high up would actually think this). StarCraft is supposed to be a hard game. That's why there are professional players. | ||

From there it's very easy/fast to just a+click and right click to keep the mutas grouped. I usually do this anyway to keep my mutas in a tight group, but with p and h thrown in it starts (1) long before you actually get to the place (2) requires less apm/time to setup. | ||

StarCraft is supposed to be a hard game. That's why there are professional players. It's like you can make all your buildings invisible by some random trick or exploit and it completely nullifies any scouting. Performing the flower doesn't take any skill, it's not like that you plan ahead and place your tech in a location that you don't think is likely to be scouted or at the last second stop a scouting SCV from seeing it. It doesn't help the game at all when you can nullify scouting with a stupid trick that takes no skill to perform whatsoever, it helps the game when you get to make the decision to hide your real viking numbers by putting them not in one place and suddenly surprise the opponent by revealing you have a lot more vikings than he thought and win the game by that. Come on, would you approve if you could perform a similar trick to make a dark shrine invisible, I mean, take the shakuras bug, I'm sure you agree it's good that it's patched, it takes no skill whatsoever to place a dark shrine, pylon, or spire there, you just have to know, and it nullifies scouting. Now, if it took skill to pull off I can see where you're going, it's a good thing they kept the magic box because it actually takes skill to perform. | ||

I wish they kept this.. all it does it let players control their units better... there is alot of AOE damage vs air in the game, blizzard should man up.
