There are a few threads similar to this one, and I think this response has been given a few dozen times in each.

Yes, it weakens AoE.

That's what AoE buffs are for.

Except when those AoE buffs then are used on mineral lines that didn't benefit from increased spacing.
Except when those AoE buffs are used on units that are walking down a ramp or through a tight area.


That's why it increases skill level....

Its completely your fault for not looking at the minimap to catch the Warp Prism coming to your base.


Exactly. I'm sick and tired of seeing two HTs storm a worker line, have the opponent not even looking, and only get 4 kills. That's just wrong.

I think they can find a way in the middle between the current clumping effect and no clumping at all, where it would help just a bit and not mess balance too badly.

After playing this type of game mode a few times it is difficult to get in a position where the units themselves actually spread apart. Corners keep them clumping, but if they start out from the rally in the ball they will stay in the ball, and getting back to the super efficient ball is easy as clicking in the center mass of units. Seems like if it were to break up more in the pictures showed on the OP it would need something else.

I like dynamic unit movement but it doesn't do the job by itself alone.

This is much better than the universal magic box (modified movement), because this is heterogenous. It's not just density, it's the homogeny that is the problem. This affects how units react to each other (sticky creating heterogeny, vs slipper and pushy). I much prefer this direction.

In conclusion, MM was a good try but this looks much closer to what BW was like.

On the contrary, adjusting the spacing/movement paradigm does not remove micro, it promotes it. If you're going to keep unlimited unit selection, it is much more likely that this will help motivate more micro because it's easier to grab specific units/bunches of units, without really effecting the skill cap. We are also advocating ability animations and more AoE and bigger maps, and more fast units, so the skill cap is not in danger.

Khaydarin was removed for making storm with it's current template size too powerful... Now you want to make the template bigger? Now you've just increased the potency of each high templar fielded, you think that will be fun for Terrans? If this thread is really about spectator happiness (which is rediculous by the way; we all know what it's about), you don't think terran-oriented spectators are going to say "stupid game toss OP just storm workers and win?"

Asked in another way that fits what is claimed as the concern in the thread: What's more fun, seeing 1 templar wreck a mineral line with 2 storms, or 2 wreck it with 4? I think at a base level people would agree that more is better.

Why try to balance the game around flawed gameplay? HotS will reset the balance anyway. Blizzard may as well fix the game before they attempt any balance changes in HotS...

It doesn't need to get bigger, its damage can be increased. Tank splash can be buffed as well, so the balance whine is irrelevant.

Blizzard removed KA because they didn't like it, not because it was necessarily too powerful. Alternatively, they could change the upgrade to regeneration rate rather than starting energy (which is more interesting and practical anyway). Maybe people should consider that HTs as end-game tech should be much better than tier 1 with medivacs.....is that unfathomable for them?

Because based on screenshots, this is heterogenous and MM is homogenous, so it still doesn't solve the core issue.
Also, SC2BW's Maverick seems to be developing this and is getting close IMO.

wasn't the amulet removed because of the combination with warp gates making it too easy to just warp in some templars and then storm everything in the midst of battle?

The argument of more is better doesn't make much sense either. If you need 4 storms to kill a worker line, seeing one storm is not very exciting. However knowing that one storm can kill everything, adds a lot more excitement to it.



I can't remember which game I saw epic, epic storms and storm dodging, bisu vs roro (dunno if it was roro) on neo aztec or electric circuit, can't remember. But this youtube video shows that there can be a lot of excitement around it if one storm kills instead of 4.

Yes. Being able to storm immediately after being produced anywhere on the map was considered too strong.
