Game speed is changeable in case the game is accidentally made with the wrong speed, so that it doesn't have to be remade with all the time that takes. But clearly the hotkey for changing the speed should be harder to hit than simply - and +, maybe it should require a modifier like ctrl or shift or alt. | ||

But it's like the field being bad in a traditional sport - it makes the game worse and on any particular day it might favor one or the other player, but on some level they still have an equal situation that they are put in. While the organizer should apologize for it and try to fix it, you don't redo every game that happened on it. But that's not really true because in sports there is a changeover where the offense plays the same game as the defense when they turn over. Life and Parting don't change switch races in game 2 and go for the same rush strats. Certain strats are easier to stop at slower speeds than others. Let us please stop propagating this rumor. | ||

Or why not just remove the ability to lower the game speed?? Yes you may need to increase it if the game is accidently started on Fast so leave that hotkey alone, but why would you ever want to lower game speed??????? | ||

Now it is time for Blizzard to react and immediately put a warning in the game about gamespeed. Or for Blizzard to remove the option and other speeds? Is there an instance where you would need/want to play at a slower speed? | ||

I don't think he's claiming that one side didn't have an advantage; only that there is some advantage to some extent, but still "fair" in some way. It's not about switching sides. His analogy is that something like weather conditions can affect the overall state of the field. It doesn't matter if you're playing offense or defense you're playing on the same field. It's quite common that some teams are more used to playing in a certain condition than another team, so that team has an advantage in that environment. This can be worsened if there are problems with the stadium, e.g. it's raining and the field isn't draining properly. | ||

Or does the referee get to do that or something? Kinda unprofessional, but if the referee would just mash "numpad +" a bunch as the game starts, that'd never happen *shrug* | ||

This is TL where even the best apologies handled the correct way with all of the information is still regarded as shit and piss to be thrown around to instill more drama. This sight gets more and more like TMZ, if not then just by the comment section, then I'd like t.t. | ||

Even if u notice at the beginning of the game that the game speed is wrong, u still played like some sec on diffrent speed. The timings are off and people still could complain do remake the game. So either the gamespeed is correct or else start the game again. | ||

How the fuck is this so confusing, elaborate. | ||

Please, explain how the timings could be "off". Yes, my tone is condescending, but so was yours. | ||
