Aside from that, I think it would amazing if all of the matches were archon mode because the skill level would be so much higher. Actually, imagine if all the matches in GSL, WCS, and all the premier tournaments implemented archon mode. Aside from the lag, the highest level would be insane because of the ability to macro and micro near-perfectly. | ||

Nobody is, or ever will be, close to the skill ceiling for micro in sc2 see: + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXUOWXidcY0] Not that it would look anything like that, but archon mode would raise the amount of cool micro we see. My only concern would be for balance, because if one race has little potential for micro they might be comparatively worse in archon mode. | ||

But the problem is that while they are unlearning these mechanics for archon mode, they are hindering themselves for 1v1. We'd probably not see the highest level pros doing archon mode and would probably have their lower-tier players doing archon mode. Aside from that, I think it would amazing if all of the matches were archon mode because the skill level would be so much higher.

I enjoy attempting to emulate fights, but I can barely copy a real pro in 5 attempts - copying 2? ggnore | ||

Maybe its the way SC2 is supposed to be played after all?  If you follow that train of thought (archon mode taking over 1v1) then maybe this will even spawn a new RTS genre, just like DotA did. | ||

If you follow that train of thought (archon mode taking over 1v1) then maybe this will even spawn a new RTS genre, just like DotA did. I doubt it, this mode was in SC/BW since the beginning and people only played it quite rarely for laugh, I think the only two reasons there is some focus on this in SC2 right now are 1]lots of advertisement for it as a "new feature" (an important sales argument for a second expansion) and 2]you can potentially be stronger in SC2 in archon mode because the most important thing in the game is focusing in the right place at the right time. In SC1/BW generally I think in Team melee you are less efficient than in 1v1 because it is too difficult to coordinate or play creatively. I'd be curious to know what happens for pros though, I saw was it Bisu I think play Team melee on his stream the other day? But yeah it's a mode that doesn't really promote strategy because there are so many ways to do every thing but to play really well you need that all this every thing to coincide with your style and specific view of the game. So I think, at "equal" level one player will generally win vs 2 team melee players. So what would that make SC2 "archon mode" ? The mode where you can be stronger with 2 players instead of 1 player in the same game because you can always have someone to react/focus anywhere. It can increase the rythm of the game a bit but it won't promote strategy. Is that enough to make it a lot more popular or competitive than "team melee" in the long term ? Personally I doubt it. | ||
