TheGlassface it's a expansion. Your ideas rewrite the original game. Sure, I have complaints as well about SC2 (That I won't cite). Some of the choices Blizzard made are not in the direction I would have gone. Some are outright strange.
But think about how the small amount of changes for bw transformed starcraft. Even adding one unit or tweaking another can change the matchup for a race dynamically. I'd bet my ladder points on 1-3 units being added or tweaked in HotS. And I'd go into debt with a bet saying that there will be less of an evolution between WoL and HotS than sc and bw. Legacy of the Void will introduce even further changes.
I still standby saying your ideas are far too revolutionary. The overseer will be replaced or tweaked but if overlords get detection it'll just be bollucks. Unless it's a Lair upgrade.

All I can say is have a build and a goal that are one in the same (Aside from killing your opp) and try to accomplish it as quickly as possible. Every few games just go back and see where you forget a probe or a pylon. The faster you can do it the better you'll be regardless of APM (Which will increase on its own). Cheers man!
Anyone else still enjoy watching Brood War replays from the WCG 2000's? I am addicted to them, I find them more exciting than SC2 matches...but SC2 is more fun to play I guess...I miss BW though.

Sc2 BW is incredibly fun to play!! Cannot recommend it enough. Its a custom map that recreates BW in the SC2 engine. It even goes as far as recreating the unit accelerations!

Thanks man, I will check it out, I did not know about this.
It was a PvP and I screwed up badly... completely missing a proxy pylon in my base. I pushed back a couple units at my front and he warped in behind my guys, picking off my pylon supplying power to my robo... so I was completely dead in the water.
My scouting mistake, not any real sort of cheese on his part... so I gg'd and was working my way up to the menu to surrender when he went ahead and dropped out of the game. Then he sent me a message saying he felt guilty taking ladder points from me that way.
For all the times I've been cheesed and bm'd... it was really strange to see somebody genuinely nice online... even dropping games he had deservedly won.
Thanks MonsterChef, of platinum division felanius mu.
Was anyone amazed by the real life size version of starcraft 2 stars? I met a bunch of people at MLG and my impressions were ....Wow Day 9 is soooo tall in person ....Wow, Huk looks like a highschool person ....Wow, Incontrol is the new HULK!
