2- Have you considered multiple ladders for people that wants to try different races? I mean like the way it is for different teams (2v2 random, 2v2 with Bob, 2v2 with Carl, etc) 3- lurker plz? Edit: #2 is pretty much what Zarjax said [...] ways to have different leagues/ladders for each race that you can play? (i.e. You can be diamond for Zerg and gold for Terran on the same account) | ||

I watch a lot of SC2 and I can't tell what's happening in a battle or see who won until after everything died, which I think makes for shitty experience. | ||

What would you say the biggest problem with Starcraft 2 is right now, and how are you planning to fix it? How would an "ideal" game of starcraft 2 play out, from start to finish? What are the underlying themes to how each races works and should be played? | ||

Could you include more GSL and ICCCUP maps in the map pool, and increase the number of vetos? Are you planning to change the Hydra? Will we see a nerf to Ghosts soon? | ||

Examples would be things such as team melee 1v1 (2v2 team melee) Ranked FFA (for more even matchmaking) Have you considered having separate ladder records for each race a player uses? | ||

Why is the Mothership a multiplayer unit? Why do you hate the Hydra!? Edit: #2 is pretty much what Zarjax said ''[...] ways to have different leagues/ladders for each race that you can play? (i.e. You can be diamond for Zerg and gold for Terran on the same account)'' As stated earlier i would like to hear his thoughts on this! | ||

he said "that the Mothership is a Casual Unit that should not play any Role in Competitive Games" but in the recent Patch Kim said "We wanted to try to bring in a unit that’s rarely used back into the action in order to potentially create new viable strategies for protoss. In the end, it came down to a choice between the Carrier and the Mothership." so WTF? | ||

Serious questions: How important is lore to the development of SC2 and more importantly, HOTS? | ||

I am aware that FF is micro-inhibiting as well, but I don't really expect that redesigning all of protoss is a possibility at this stage in the game. I feel like removing concussion shells and altering fungal to slow instead of root are reasonable. Why do you not find it more appropriate to have fungal as a slow instead of a root? First you say that concussive shell ruins micro due to the slow effect, then you say that fungal could be fixed by making it a slow instead of a root? makes no sense... Also, FF is probably even more "micro-inhibiting" than any of the other two you mentioned, even tho you did mention it I still feel that it'd be unfair to remove the other two if FF stays. | ||

Do you design the new units with an "E-sports" perspective to give them more strategical depth or with a "casual" perspective with it's main focus being "easy to use"? | ||

You've stated a number of times that you want to keep ealry game rushes as an equally viable part of the game. Is this the reason why you keep maps with close spawns and generally don't like including larger maps in the map pool? Even the very top players struggle with things such as blocking a ramp with a force field (if MC loses games because of this, what hope do I have?) but they don't have to face them that often anymore because they play on the more macro-oriented tournament maps. However, due to the horrible custom games system and lack of chat channel communities, the average player is forced to face this all day long and thus a lot of us simply don't play the game as much. Do you consider trying to keep these early game rushes viable but not as game-ending strategies but rather as damaging ones? Also, a few people have already asked similar questions, so I'd just add that I am also interested in whether Blizzard would consider adding more micro-tasking abilities instead of abilities that limit micro (concussive shell, fungal growth, force field, etc.). Edit: two more. A few weeks ago Day9 half-jokingly suggested that making a Mothership shouldn't cost any resources, considering that it is high up the tech tree, takes a lot of time to complete and you can only have one at a time anyway. Would you ever consider doing something similar? Also, a few months ago the guys from State of the Game (I think it was Incontrol who came up with it but I'm not sure) had the idea that that ladder map pool shouldn't have just ~10 maps and the option to veto some of them but something like 30 maps from which the player has to pick at least 10 that he would like to play. This way the casual players would have the opportunity to stick to the small maps they are familiar with (and would be automatically enabled for them), while the more devoted ones would be able to practice those they need for the tournaments and leagues they participate in. Players would even have the opportuntunity to play all types of maps, thus having a more varied experience. Can you find a single flaw of this idea? | ||
