Thank God someone mentioned it !
To be honest, ever since LotV was launched the game just doesn't feel the same anymore. I don't enjoy playing it and I don't enjoy watching it. There is no excitement for me when watching games anymore.

I truly don't know what it is.
Is it the worker count change ?
Is it the new units?

All I know is, it doesn't feel like SC anymore

I think it's you, rather than the game.

I "came back" to watching and playing in present-day LoTV having ignored it because I thought it was stupid, and the game is so much better than HoTS ever was. The games are much more complicated (more player interaction, more harass, more fights) and it feels like the quick acceleration into big economies and big armies make it much more difficult to play perfectly, meaning that you have to prioritise, which makes the personal style of the player come out more. It feels a bit like BW in that sense, which I like.

Meh. I think the full amount of ressources per base is what needs to come back, 12 worker start is ok.

More minerals and gas in main and natural enables more come back potential, and in todays meta its not like its good to turtle on 2 base forever, you get destrroyed by 6-8 gas economy.

What it does is if you fall behind, give you a little bit more time to secure a third before it becomes unrecoverable.

To be quite honest, I have tried many times to try and enjoy watching the game. I love Starcraft and I want to continue loving it. This only happened once LotV as released.
