We want the ability to do 2 or 3 base builds where every decision is not "i HAVE to expand where's the closest geyser." Detractors are bringing up HotS as a counter argument, but harass is still so powerful with the different units.... seems unlikely that we'll get swarmhost/deathball nightmare out of this.
Trying to find a middle ground between brood war variety and LotV game design, basically

Read the article I wrote on the subject titled, "Eulogy for the Six Pool". That should give you a pretty good summary of one of the reasons why people like me prefer the old economy.
yay let protoss turtle on 3 bases into unbeatable deathballs with air or whatever composition... looks like a lot of ppl forgot how end of hots looked like...

the beauty of this game is that you should be allowed to play any style you want. As long as you have the choice.

This is so not true... everyone here who complains just hide behind fact that the ONE build is there because someone good played in tournament....

I think we agree on our goals (a solid fun game) but have a fundamentally different approach to getting there. It is not fun for me knowing that zerg is going hatch gas pool. and the pro scene is part of playing the game, we need to spice life up.
Oh, and don't worry... by "someone good" i know you mean pretty much "everybody good."

I guess we don't... for me it was always about fixing my gameplay and ability to face anything opponent throws at me and if i ever get decent (let's say top 50 master 1) and than i would continuously struggle against a single stile no matter what i do... than i would discuss it with someone in GM (or the progamer if i got the chance) and than i would probably make a suggestion...
But me being master 2 i have nothing to say about balance since im don't even play the game at my best
I'll watch this. Not a fan of the old economy, but it'll be interesting, and itd be good to try and see if the decision holds up.
Only big problem I see, is would the players do this concept justice? Since it's not really productive of the players to practice the old economy since theres going to be bigger tournaments to always work towards.
