You said big.


I like the idea of removing the warpgate. It makes space valuable again in the game, which potentially makes a better RTS.

Re balance the damage so (some) fights lasted about 10-15% longer

So many games decided in about 8 ingame seconds when big armies clash (less happens less often these days)


Definitely agree. I would even want them to be twice as long if possible. My idea of removing unit clumping is along the same line

Usually people in this type of posts just want the game to be more like broodwar, and it seems this post is no exception.


But BW was indeed better than SC2 on those aspects, like a more valuable role of space and big, long-lasting fights. No one is saying they want 12-unit control groups or single building selection back.

At this point, both games have thrived for long enough that changing a critical component of the gameplay becomes a suicide. But if we go back to the beginning, some kind of a combination of the two games indeed sound like a more ideal game, at least to me.

Plus, I think we did see some interesting proposals here, like adding a 4th race/increasing the supply cap etc.

Remove the medivac speedboost ability and maybe even medivac heal. I really don't like how all terran matchups revolve around it.
I want to be able to play straigt up versus any race. But as long medivacs are so strong its impossible to balance terran this way, or Terran harras would be unbeatable. I also despise doomtrops, they especially made TvT worse by a lot (ofc still the best mirror by a wide margin).


Then we probably also need to remove/remake the warp mechanism/nydus. Massive, rapid movement of armies has become such a core aspect of SC2 now

Add expensive DLC to the game. If you pay an extra $50, your workers will get the fast mining upgrade which increases their mining rate by 10%.

some ui changes

- configurable colors for both enemy teams in 2v2 (.. and up to 4v4 maybe)
       there is only one enemy color now, there could be red+purp to differentiate the two same race opponent.
- some more hotkeys:
       - all production buildings (rax+fact+port / gw+robo+stargate / hatches)
       - all raxes/gateways,
       - all factories/robos,
       - all starports/stargates,
       - all tech buildings (evos, spires, armories, forges, flee bacons, etc)
       - all queens,
- remember location hotkeys across games for maps
- configurable building and unit prio/ordering in selections
- all upgrades / ongoing builds with one icon each on the left side,
       like the production tab icons on the observer interface, but placed vertically on the left side of the screen.
       upgrades would be easier to track, build orders would be easier to follow
       finished upgrades would stay, could be removed by clicking on icon.
       configurable to be unclickable otherwise or click to cycle through buildings providing that upgrade, hotkeyed buildings first (evos vs viper feed evos).




The hotkey part is essentially what people do with control groups now. It'd be nice if it's automated, but I just wonder if we have enough keys for that (if we retain all control groups/screen locations)

I'd rather love to see more skins. I don't love skins myself but removing them means SC2 is dead. Blizzard has to survive.

I would implement highground advantage again, like doing less damage shooting units on higher ground.

I did not know that SC2 ever had high ground advantage. Was the advantage the same as in BW or was it something else?

SC2 highground advantage is that you cannot see the unit on the highground and that's it. Never had it like in BW, IMO because people don't like RNG based mechanisms(IIRC it's 40 % chance of miss if you shoot a unit on higher ground in BW)


We could easily make it deterministic, like missing every other shot (within certain time frame) or just dealing reduced damage

I honestly don't like libs, despite I use it every terran game. Because to make other races do okay against libs, they've become so much stronger against everything else I have.

LOL. Or just some more weird maps. I actually don't get it when people complain about weird maps. I always look forward to them cuz the core fun I have playing SC2 is to think through a completely unforeseen situation.

But, to some extent, Purity and Industry is kinda Scrap Station Relived?

Revert the economy changes. It was so much more fun and better in HoTS had way more fun in that game in 2015 than I've ever had in LOTV


Yeah, I kind of spent years tuning myself to the new economic tempo of LotV. And even if I finally get used to it, I still prefer the HotS/WoL tempo.

Well, that's something we probably can't fix lol, sadly.

And Tankivac was my worst nightmare. Not looking at my army for 1 sec and it disappeared...

Remove all mechanics to bend locations i.e. warpgate, warp prism and teleport mechanics then rebalance accordingly.

eg let a warpprism carry 8 zealots but can't warp. increase the strength of core toss units so they can actually fight 1v1 since they don't have instant reinforcements.

WTF is the point of a BC that can't beat anything because you have to balance the fact it can teleport ontop of you.

Increase maximum supply to 250 or perhaps 300. Unit supply inflation is real in SC2, so armies look pretty puny, especially with pathfinding tending toward a ball.
