I feel that the state of PvP is a testament to how broken protoss design is. Warpgates negate defender's advantage, their units rely on the enemy being unable to move or having super strong splash damage. | ||

colossi and vr are two of the most boring units in the game I would not say that they are intrinsically boring units it's merely the way in which they work. Lategame can turn into just forests of coloxen melting each other with small gateway armies that are simply buffers. It's who has the greater colossus count. It's predictable and boring Void rays have their problems in that blink stalkers can kill them and by having 10 void rays you have invested more in killing the colossus than he has invested in them. I think it would be very difficult to "fix" pvp on a balance level. Though with the op's suggestion it seems like a step in the right direction. I mean who doesn't like pretty colours? | ||

And to make it easyer to watch would be great imo. But thee thing i have is, ofc you can change leaserbeems, but what bout the colossus? And the vommit roaches spit. or the explosions of banelings for that matter. I like the idea, but howfar you wanna go with it?? | ||

When lings and roaches engage, it becomes just a big mass of brown. I remember pre-beta videos where the colors were much more distinct. Also, mutalisk projectiles were green colored, radioactive-like. So sad to see these change. Yea man, i miss when you could clearly see the mutalisk attack animation clearly. Something like the animation in scbw but a bit smaller and more detailed would be nice. | ||

Colossi beams are already orange, voidray beams are blue, medivacs heal with a green beam etc. The colours are already there, they just aren't used for distinguishing purposes. I really like the idea of the OP but - furthermore - also agree with the people saying that units in general should be easier to identify in mirrors. | ||
