This is so obviously the way it should be. I would be surprised if any pro played with a different setting. Of course, to new players and stuff, the textures may look nice, but to anyone who cares about their gameplay? This is always the way to go.

This is one of those rare times when I agree with a fan's suggestion on how to improve this game. So simple, but took awhile for someone to think of it.

good suggestion the clean look really helps bold the units

And the simplified map images already exist, SC2 shows them to me most of the time on the loading screen, so less work for Blizzard!

Yessssss the same happens to me. Another annoying bug that has been there for 5 years... and will probably still be there in 2020

You could also request the BW style minimap : all black with only units/buildings colored dots.

They already have that in SC2. You can toggle it with the button on the side of the minimap that's just below the ping button.

That was my first thought but pure black has always been a detriment. You don't see where you have vision, where you've been, the basic terrain (is this walkable or flying only). It's not useful and it's a carry over from the 90s.

Replace it with this suggestion.


The pure black is exactly what makes currently available toggles inadequate. I think they can entirely replace that button with OP's suggestion.
