the most likely outcome is that you wont get banned. though if you do, imagine how stupid and shit youll feel.

I personally am not gonna use this, i find things easily distinguishable anyway. And also, i dont want to run the risk of being banned lol

Why you can be banned, if you dont change any ingame MPQ?

I just wanted to say I've been using this for a week or so now and really like it.

At first things looked a little weird but I quickly got use to the new look. My first Z vs Z is when I realized just how awesome this mod is! Sooooooooo much easier to see what's going on. I highly recommend everyone use this. I have no fear of a blizzard ban, in fact I suspect blizzard may take a look at this and hopefully improve the colors in HofTS.

Lastly if you are a streamer you really need this mod. It makes is so much easier for your viewers to see what's going on.

They will not. We already have green-red scheme and they possibly will not imprive that. Now their priority is marketplace (for more moneys into Acti-Blizz cash) and HotS.

This is literally a lifesaver for me, even playing with colourblind friendly colour schemes I snipe my own zealots a stupid amount.

Better not get banhammered for it though

Missing terran unit response sounds after installing this, haven't checked zerg or protoss yet. Is this a known issue?

EDIT: Zerg and Protoss seem fine, just missing the terran response sounds. The buildings still seem to play their sounds after clicking on them though.

This is strange. Did u have any terran sound mods or something installed? Anyways this shouldnt glitch any sounds since only textures are in the mpq.

Making SC2 a better spectator sport would mean more money.

Yes it does.

And using this does give you an unfair advantage over your opponent, so I'd be careful.
Personally I don't think it should be allowed.

Thanks, I'll refrain from using this then unfortunatly as it looks awesome. But not a fan of doing stuff that could get me banned

when does changing colours give you an unfair advantage? in WoW you could have mods that tell you when to dispel or when to use trinkets, and this wasnt considered a banable advantage over your opponent, but stronger colours? come on.

I love this mod, makes the game so much better looking imho.

It might give you a very slight advantage, not confusing your units as much. But really, I don't think confusing your units with enemy units is "intended". It's a small advantage anyways, kind of like having a better keyboard, or NOT being color blind.

Those who gain the real advantage are the spectators who get to see whats going on with less confusion on a stream. The game isn't really THAT unclear if you're the one playing first hand on your screen with alt F enabled.
