It really boils down to the map types, and we ought to get rid of all these choke point/few entrances maps I think it's because it's just so much easier to move your entire army around now. Before, if you tried to move 40 dragoons across the map they would go all different directions and just keep bumping into each other but now pathfinding is better and you can put all your units on 1 hotkey. | ||

Wow watching that just helped me remember how awesome BW actually was, and that SC2 actually has some huge design flaw. As a toss player, I feel like a big problem with the race is that to deal with marine maruder and roach balls, you need AOE, normally collosi because of how cost inefficient stalkers are. Basically the toss army gets stronger as more stuff is in front of the collosi because it's basically a glass cannon. This is the reason why the deathball occurs, and why toss has a hard to of splitting their armies to attack and defend different parts of the map. | ||

However , the tempo of the games is much faster due to the increased speed in macro because of larvae inject and chronoboost (and mules). So more things will happen in the same time compared to a BW game. The rumors about SC2 and micro are a bit wrong I think. I think it only applies for zerg and protoss due to some poor design choices. But there is definitely room for improvement here. A lot of terrans are complaining that protoss should use drops more for instance. When it comes to terran the units become a lot more effective if microed perfectly. The improved pathing and increased control groups also introduces micro capabilities that were never possible in BW. You should check out some marine vs baneling splitting action if you don't believe me. | ||

I do wish SC2 could play more like that, it really lacks that extra dose of action. On the one hand I think the maps could still be bigger, but on the other hand there's not much you can do if the units just work better when balled up rathen than split up. | ||
