Having played BW like 13 years ago for the last time, I am not a BW nostalgic, but I of course see that BW was a well-made game. I also would prefer the lurker over the swarm host. Boring swarm host. Who likes a unit that looks like a mushroom with mucopurulent blisters and walks like giant tortoise? What I like is that the devs say that they don't want to make it better than SC2 itself. Generally, you can't compare different genres with each other. It' like saying tennis is better than football. You can only say you enjoy tennis more than you enjoy football. In team games like LoL or HoN, I am often more frustrated than when playing 1v1, because my team mates often seem to think they play a single player game like diablo or Sims 3  | ||

From what I'm seeing Dragoons kill roaches but die to hydras, meanwhile roaches kill Zealots but die to Dragoons and, lastly Zealots rape hydras and since both sides will always some of each I think its important to micro very well and keep your zealots pinned to the hydras and dragoons on roaches. Its probably easier then it sounds, but you also have a lot more reaction time since the overall DPS of units is low enough that you can micro in battle. | ||

I wonder what if they made swarm hosts into an artillery unit. Where if you make banelings you can load them into a swarm host to launch them into enemies similar to that spore cannon idea. Anyways watching Renzen vs Jacko made it seem like Starbow roaches are really powerful almost too powerful, but it is still too early to say. | ||

There is a section of the SC2 community that seem to be comming annoyed with the endless threads about Starbow bring better than SC2. The one posted above is pretty silly and Starbow fans really shouldn't be looking to replace SC2. People should just enjoy the mod and not attack the game that other people enjoy. | ||

People were attacking SC2 way before SB was on the radar. It merely became a convenient cudgel. It's more an expression of frustration over the recalcitrance of the developers to address certain issues. It's inevitable that some of the mounting irritation regarding SC2 would spill over into the SB hype. For me, I just look for fun at this point in starbow's development. If it's fun, that's all I care about, and for me it is. | ||

All of that is true, but it doesn't mean that the other peoples opinion is invalid or they don't have a right to complain about people shitting on their game. I think it's great that the mod and I'm really happy people are enjoying it. I watch some of it being played on my lunch break. But I could give two shits if people think is it better than SC2. And ther are a lot of people with similar points of view. | ||

Hope to see a scene grow around this, with tournaments and players showcasing good games Watching basetradeTV Starbow tournament right now, and its awesome. Only small thing i maybe (not quite sure yet) think is something the creators of this mod should be aware of, is the "less is more" mantra. I feel the queen / terran command center maybe has to many options. To me its not a quality by itself that many units has spells / abilities (like blink stalkers having planned 2 spells) or roaches with an ability, but again I could be wrong. Keep up the good work | ||

I feel like Spider Mines don't do enough damage, nor do Reaver's scarabs. But I have only played like 4 games, those are just my first impressions. | ||
