I really think adding a lot more units would really make the game more exciting. There isn't actually a lot of diversity in overall strategies - opening builds are designed to give you some sort of early or late game advantage, but the lategame in all the matchups is identical, except for if the Terran player chooses to go mech or bio.

I really love the game, and I think it's a much better spectator sport than Dota, Lol, or a FPS, but gameplay is pretty standard and only changed by the maps. Blizzard has become a massive corporation and is waaaaay too slow to change, compared to Dota which has constant new heros, items, and patches that fundamentally change game mechanics. Brood War was fine to leave alone because it was almost a perfect game, but SC2 certainly isn't and Blizzard isn't willing to make changes it can't charge money for, like expansions.
That is not dead which can eternal lie...

The lack of diversity has more to do with the game's volatility and the hardcounter system than anything else. Plus probably MVP nerfing Terran to hell in WoL.

Mhm, no.
The "lack of diversity" is only there cause terran bio is way better than the rest they have. You can play mech vs zerg and terran, but bio is better/ just as good and they did this since the beginning. If you wanna have more diversity the best thing to do (in the next beta) would be to nerf the shit out of bio, just to see where mech needs fixing, then rebuff it again ofc :D
All other races have different options in pretty much every matchup, so i dont know where this "lack of diversity" even comes from.

As much as i hear these statements about volatility of the game, as much i have no clue what do saying that mean under that. Yes, this game is ******* impossible to come back, and probably that need of keeping yourself in game 90% of time is rather stressing. But i am certainly not sure about volatility.

I really don't mind the idea of Warcraft 4 having kingdoms instead of "races"

Ironforge, Stormwind, Darnassus, Undercity, Ogrimmar, etc... have about 9-12 "factions"

And instead of Heroes, you choose alliances. Each faction having about 15ish unit choices but alliances caps you at 20ish unit choices allowing you to mix and match as needed.

I get you, I'd like to see WC4 also, what I'm implying is that we should look for changes in SC2 within the confines of features that "make Starcraft Starcraft". Heros and 100 supply are exactly the opposite i.e. "things that make Warcraft Warcraft". It just seemed to me like jdsowa wanted to make SC2 more Warcrafty which I don't believe to be a good idea, that's all

The problem is self entitled individuals that complain about a game blizzard put a lot of hard work into. I played some bad games in the 90's and let me tell you SC2 is fine as it is. There are kids in Africa that cant even play this, shouldn't that send a message to you that you're oversimplifying the situation here? If my kid was this haughty I would've given him a spanking a long time ago. If you think you can do better, why don't you create your own game?

We are in agreement then hence why I said I wouldn't mind Warcraft 4 + Show Spoiler +
I'd buy the shit out of that game


If they tried to make a hero centric game filled with gimmicky units it wouldn't be Stracraft. It'd be the SC2 campaign, but fuck no would it be starcraft.

For me, volatility means a lot of strategies are super punishing. You have hellions in your mineral line? You're gonna lose a lot of stuff. Didn't scout DT/Oracle? You're dead. Stimmed marine drop in your mineral line during an engagement? lol @ your economy. It just feels like it's one or the other, and there's very little room for well that was OKAY. It's better at the pro level than on ladder but I think that can be something super frustrating and stressful to play against.

Super punishing is absolutely correct term though, yeah.

I think the best example of volatility in the game is when I make a small engagement and it truly accidentally wins me the game. The speed and efficiency in which armies can collide and basically cause the 'impossible comeback' scenario is so high. Just imagine if the basic punch in a street fighter game took down your opponents health by 70%. That's what people mean by volatile.

I've had that happen more than once, i spread out my stuff, wait for the best moment I can find, attack, immediately start queuing up a new round of units from my hatcheries, then all of sudden "GG" and the game ends.

I basically a-moved and threw a few fungals, I didn't have time to do anything before the other guy's army melted. It felt very strange, not exactly a huge sense of accomplishment. When I played BW I felt like I was trying to do very complex dance routine, when I play SC2 it's like I'm trying to juggle hand grenades.

I think the biggest problem, which limits strategic options, limits the possibilities for transitioning, and limits the kinds of games we get to watch, is that timings and margins are too tight in general, and I think this stems from two core, unfixable issues:

1. Economies tuned for the tiny maps at the start of WoL.
2. Warpgate.

Small maps are quick to cross. Maps that are quick to cross mean that there is very little time to squeeze in extra economy before you need to repel an aggressive enemy. To compensate for this, economies were tuned to grow very rapidly so that cutting workers for early aggression would have meaningful consequences.

On today's larger maps, greedy players get more time to react. But economies and production grow at the same rate they always have, so the same attack off the same number of workers moving out at the same time will encounter an enemy with a better economy and more defences. Thus the margin of viability for early aggression is squeezed. All that's left is:

a) Proxy cheese
b) Light pressure (eg a reaper or two, four hellions)
c) Denial of the third/hitting a timing before the third is up and running

Attempts to encourage more early aggression fail because any unit or composition capable of overcoming the economic disadvantages is ipso facto imbalanced (Warhound, the original hellbat drops). The best we can hope for is light pressure that can accidentally win games (hellion runbys, oracles etc).

Unfortunately, none of this is fixable because of warpgate. Economies and production cannot be re-tuned for larger maps because all maps are 32x32 as far as Protosses are concerned.
The existence of a food chain is inescapable if we evolved unsupervised, and inexcusable otherwise.

Blizzard is doing fine by ignoring you whiners, because StarCraft2 is good as it is right now. If you don`t like it, try another game. Did you ever think about the people loving sc2, when you criticize it, wanting too many changes? We had like over 30k viewers on a small european challenger league yesterday and 100k viewers on the finals. This is allready way more than 2012. Where is the f**king problem ? You don`t like it as much as Broodwar, because you grew up with that game. So what? I couldn`t watch Broodwar for 5 minutes.
It hasn`t the huge fanbase like LoL, but SC2 has an unique community of "real" eSport fans, while LoL gets a lot of casual players, who like the game because it`s free and easy to play. I`ve tried HoN (it`s a DOTA-game like LoL) for some time and i can`t remember a game without people flaming. It`s a conglumeration of trolls and trash. I do not want this to happen to SC2.

I compliment you on your efforts trying to analyze and write some stuff... but Blizzard shouldn`t listen to a word of that. With the experience they`ve got, I`m pretty sute they won`t. They are creating eSport for more than a decade... do you think a boy in his mid twenties can teach `em?

oh where do I even start...

If you actually read what we write, and follow what some of us have written about it, you can see that a lot of us don't really want SC2 to be like BW v2. There are a lot of great qualities about BW that could be taken into account and make the game more interesting for both the viewer and the player. Things like yesterday's Swarm Host/Viper vs Protoss Deathball was just stupid. There are a lot of designs of units that simply don't make sense. People have been complaining about how necessary AoE is for Protoss since WoL Beta. Not only can Blizzard learn from the community, they absolutely should and they should be more open in how they're looking at these issues. A game developer can't make an "eSport" alone, it has to be a combined effort with the community. One of the easiest examples of this is GameHeart's custom viewer UI which was not something Blizzard had ever really done, but it's used in virtually every large tournament, or at least the concept of it is, now.

And when you say Blizzard had been creating "esports for more than a decade..." that's not true. BW absolutely got lucked into. They didn't do any patches past the first year or two and the rest was done by maps. They got incredibly lucky that bugs were in there to make the game more deep than it realistically should've been for a game created around that time.

I`ve tried HoN (it`s a DOTA-game like LoL) for some time and i can`t remember a game without people flaming. It`s a conglumeration of trolls and trash. I do not want this to happen to SC2.

I compliment you on your efforts trying to analyze and write some stuff... but Blizzard shouldn`t listen to a word of that. With the experience they`ve got, I`m pretty sute they won`t. They are creating eSport for more than a decade... do you think a boy in his mid twenties can teach `em?

You realize the people that made brood war had nothing to do with starcraft 2 and vice versa? It's a completely different team. Also, there is a scale of grey between hating the game and loving it. We like some things about the game and dislike others, that's the f**king problem. You're welcome.

Brood war became what it was because it had a strong community and external infrastructure, not because of blizzard. You know, guys in their teens up to mid twenties? Really, if you're going to randomly and incoherently rant, at least try to get some basic stuff right first.
