Having 3-4 vetoes isnt that much either since in BW you could just opt out of playing any map you didnt want which in theory you could really veto 49 maps. Yeah sure, i like that there are many different maps, but i don't like the part where you kinda need to know "every" map to be able to ladder. I think instead of vetoing maps you should pick 5-7 maps you want to play. The only problem i see is that the community isn't really big enough to support such a map picking style (search time...) But as i said, maybe i am in the minority and people don't really care, then i have to deal with it :D (kinda like the smartcast stuff^^) | ||

Instead of picking out all the reasons why sc2 isn't as good as it could be and endlessly posting the ideas hoping that something would change, they decided to do it themselves. Because they knew all these step-down things we see in the 1 dimensional gameplay that exists in sc2 are caused by the removal of core mechanics + core unit designs. [02:14:32] Kaos: It's glaringly obvious regardless of whether or not the same staffers still reside at blizzard that THEY THEMSELVES HAVE LITERALLY NO CLUE what made BroodWar great despite having the resources to learn right at their fingertips ala the KR scene. [02:22:39] Kaos: i just remember one of the very first things Dustin Browder said was something along the lines of: "This isnt SC:BW, if you want that you can go play it." In other words; "We didn't look at what made BroodWar fucking amazing, INSTEAD we're doing a completely new game with the Starcraft name." Anyways I love Starbow and I hope the scene continues to grow :D I like Kaos ^^. and he is absolutely right, I have given up on sc2 because Blizzard isnt even admitting their mistakes they have done in the last years of developping an RTS. I partly blame the community for not having the balls to criticize bad design and instead just accepting a mediocre RTS and making it out to be the best out there. The only reason why it was so successfull in the beginning is because it has the name "StarCraft". apart from that both games have nothing in common and are the complete opposite to one another. | ||

Maybe if they could have Starbow show matches to begin with. but what do they have to gain from doing that? You get the viewers and then events pick you up, not the other way around :/ | ||

They only do it if it can attract more viewers. I do believe that a high level Starbow match with good BW players (like Innovation/Flash/Soulkey/Bisu) would be something fresh and new to viewers. | ||

There was a fix in AoE damage banelings did. | ||

Maybe we need to make the AOE a bit wider, or make the animation faster, to allow Lurkers to hit more stuff. It certainly isn't the raw damage that is lacking. Maybe do something like this: Lurker attack +50% width, +10% animation speed, +0.2 second attack cooldown. I feel the same, the AI pathing works against line splash damage. | ||
