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. I'd love to see a poll at this point - Does anyone actually use that black minimap?

Makes sense, go for it!
And I don't know if I've ever seen a consensus like this on TL. It's like the "remove macro mechanics" debate, but the other way around! :o
Really trying to find drawbacks... I guess you could imagine a hypothetical "casual" player that prefers the textured minimap because it looks better? Everyone on TL are starcraft elitists, think of the casuals, sales, 90'ies graphics, etc, you know the argument. Don't think this is a very strong argument though... Even the casual would probably appreciate a cleaner minimap imo.

This is absolutely great idea

Since I'm interested in a poll too as the other option for the minimap is a BW remnant so there actually may be somebody using it, here it is:
Poll: What type of minimap do you use when playing?Standard - map, units/buildings + vision (33) 97% Resources + units/buildings on black map (1) 3% 34 total votes Your vote: What type of minimap do you use when playing? (Vote): Standard - map, units/buildings + vision (Vote): Resources + units/buildings on black map
Plus, if you pick the second option, I'd love to see the arguments behind it.

i mean why not.. unlimited unit selection was neat why not this be neat too. i feel so old with this sort of idea "less information for the player"and i can't even post an emote to properly express just how much .. Know respite end you gorgeous ass me!
|
That + option to increase map size! I would really love that option! Blizzard pls!

I hope Blizzard picks up this idea.
|
That seems like a very nice suggestion! I'd use it
|
this makes too much sense. i give blizzard 4 years to admit this and make the change!
|
Great suggestion aQuaSC, make a poll in the op if people would prefer this over the current minimap as well
my guess is yes :p
|
Yes please, this is a really good suggestion, I like it.
Let's hope Blizzard will at least give the option to activate it, I mean this really shouldn't be to hard to implement
|
I support your idea. That will be better.
|
Wow that looks amazing! I really hope Blizz will implement this.
|
This is a great idea! If this is implemented, Blizzard needs to allow for this feature on default as well for those who prefers this view. Right now, the Turning Terrain Off feature can't be used as default, and those who wants to turn terrain off have to do so at the beginning of every game. Just the little things here and there. Hope they go through with this change, it's one of the better ones out there.

I did use the second option for a while when I played on my laptop screen because it made it easier (more like possible) to spot medivacs on the minimap. I'm not voting for it tough since I only play in pc bang now instead =)
