The video explained why the SC2 engine was preventing this micro from happening (hence the research) but the micro is EASILY seen as impressive. It absolutely falls into the class of Blink micro or Surrounds because you see units moving in impressive ways. Just.... wow.... The healthy mix they want is being prevented by their own engine for exactly the reasons that Lalush outlines aslkdfa;lskdfna You don't need to add flashy abilities to create this healthy mix, you just need to open up the potential of units so that players can do impressive things with them. ._. If I could like this a thousand times, upvote it, share it, tweet it, jesus christ... this! For goodness sakes, I had the exact same reaction when I read what he said. You can ABSOLUTELY see and appreciate the micro in front of you, even a casual player can see that. Even D-/D scrubs on iccup could appreciate a pro microing units in a fashion they themselves wouldn't be able to replicate. That makes it even more awe-inspiring. Edited: Also, some guy on reddit said this: "How can you say that this type of micro can not be appreciated by casuals when BW was huge." And that's so simply put, I just... that's... genius. | ||

Saying this as one of those guys who did not think that BW micro was anything special until i tried to do it myself and broke my mouse. | ||

It was way, way easier to understand BW micro. Well, Kim couldn't just say " we won't make a very big effort on this game anymore, so don't bother pointing out the flaws" can't he? | ||

No automated tournament system is sad though. All the balance changes going through is also pretty sad. | ||

In game tournamnets etc. Nothing new on the extra content/skins just excitement is not good if it could be implemented with the new F2P Arcade it could open up even more for new players imo. The comment on Micro.. just seems silly lets be honest and overly defensive. Blizzard should be called out on it, HARD. | ||

Give us depth of micro, and keep the flashiness = everyone wins AND we get a fun period of rebalancing sc2. It would totally revamp the game. | ||

At last, Blizzard start focusing a little bit on the arcade scene. It has so much potential. | ||

Have it just keep getting higher and higher by some multiplicative so that way you can showboat off a number to show how much StarCraft you play. I think it would be cool to see just how much I play instead of just seeing that number 30. I like that idea! Taht would be a great addition :D | ||
