I think the OP has a point.

It's an obvious GUI oversight by Blizzard. I doubt that Blizzard purposefully decided to design their interface poorly to make the game 'more challenging'.

Why are so many people complaining about this making it easier? The fact Zerg are the only ones that have to do something like spread creep make them most demanding already, so a cosmetic change like that, which may help out, should be implemented

I also think that the nexus should auto chronoboost workers if you tell it too.

all kidding aside, sc2 shouldnt be made any easier at this point.

Creep spread is fine as it is right now. If you want to spread creep in multiple direction easily then select tumors manually. Creep spread gives you free vision over half the map it should take apm to spress properly

Mules give you free money you should have to micro them them manually so that you reselect the mineral patch everytime they bring minerals home

If you read the Engrish, he's talking about adding more visual indicators, not about automated tasks done by the engine itself. Example: Pylon Light radius shown to players.

Personally, I think the ones who are saying it is an oversight by Blizzard are correct. I highly doubt design teams decided to remain certain mechanics of the game less user-friendly in order to challenge APM. I would also hold that statement true for 100% of mechanics in Brood War.

There are green and red outlines denoting where you can and can't place creep tumors


No there isn't.

OP makes a good point. Though I don't run into any position where this is ever an issue. At the start of the game I always have my next tumor put down before the creep spread is finished from the first. Also during the later stages when I do have multiple tumors to use, they'll be right next to each other and will most likely be set in the same direction.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I prefer creep.

SC2 is easy enough
creep spread does not take a whole lot for players to do.
You could ask for auto-kiting, auto-producing SCVs and probes so you don't forget, and every game would be an auto-win or auto-loss depending on build order.

And again, the Protoss and Terran players obviously know how to play Zerg better than Zerg players.
"I'm no Zerg player, but you're wrong and I'm right. I may not have experience, but..."
Actually I can't finish that sentence because I've got no clue what the hell they think there. I see no possible reasons for their thinking other than either a superiority complex, or a severe inferiority complex.

Here are some comparisons for other races.
Imagine if:
-Your dropped mule didn't start automining when dropped on a patch.
-Your nexus didn't display energy
-Your pylons didn't have a radius
-You had to stim each marine individually
-Your guardian shield wasn't visible
-You couldn't tell whether your banshee was cloaked or not

That is what it is like.

Seriously, what the fuck. Either most of these people are retarded or they flat out didn't read the OP.

Or I guess they dindt' undrestand it. I'll be honest, I had no idea waht the hell he was talking about until someone explained it a few posts down.

Still.

Wow so many people who looked at the pictures and just presumed they wanted a larger range. You failures, I really do wish people would read.

And I find myself always having a tumor lagging behind or not even touched at all because I just presume that it's been planted. As many others have said, It's just oversight from Blizzard I feel, but I do feel like it takes valuable seconds late game that you have to focus on spreading creep because there are no visual signs, you don't have to focus on siegeing in range on the choke when you have multiple tanks do you? You don't have to focus on pylon placements overlapping because you have the pylon radius there. That's what I compare it too tbqh.

chill, man
don't play the victim here ..... i'm sure creep spread is not a reason to complain about
we never heard top zergs complain, and there are alot of complainers in that departament, believe me !!!
Trust me, if IdrA doesn't complain it's not an issue.

Misread the OP. There is no reason not to add projected creep spread in the manner the OP suggests.
