so all new elements that will reduce average game time starting with 6 workers (my favorite) - saves around 40sec? yellow minerals - this will be very interesting to watch players rush/ build up for. But will Terran be able to hold and harras the yellow mineral areas better or will it all balance out? observatories on map for map control - I don't see this making games any shorter- but it will be an interesting point of conflict. extra "sex-it-up" factors as stegosaur added. So I think it;s currently looking like an average game length of 10-15min? | ||

I think he meant that its good that the one who is better can win faster than before, not that short games is better at deciding than long games. Also that the games that are still long will have a higher quality to them than the old long games. | ||

Its like wc3 which I won't complain about I like battles more than base building anyway and that's exactly where their shift is going towards. | ||

a good time would be about 16-24 min a game most of them falling around 19 mins | ||

Hopefully they'll fix that in sc2 well maybe thors will end up being tvt only in most instances becuase im under the impression that it has a larger range than the tanks. just a thought. But they still seem like they will be hell on the mind | ||

Its like better to do nothing at all except click all 6 on 1 crystal. There should still be a benefit for having the ability to micro 6 workers to separate crystals if you have the skill. I don't like the fact that you start with 6 in the first place either (maybe 5 would be fine, i dunno). 6 totally removes the threat of early economy sacrificing rushes. Because the buildings and tech still takes the same time. So by the time your 6pool arrives they wont have like 1-2rines and a bunker they will have 6 rines and an academy half way done. | ||

So you want to have the benefit of splitting, when you are not actually able to do it? Not to mention the completely rediculous example about early game rushes, both players get the first 40 seconds of the game cut off, there is no way in hell that this will magically tranfer into a 3 times more time for the terran compared to the zerg, it's obviously the same and seriously take your pills. | ||

Its not 'just the same' for everyone but with more workers. Just try it in BW now, Make everyone start with 6 workers. I will guarantee you it will negate any 6 pool even if you do the most standard of builds. | ||

the only thing that would change is z would be like 2 seconds behind since they can start their 6th drone before their 5th finishes with the current system. other than that it would be exactly the same as if you had 2 people playing for the first 40 seconds and then you took over for them. | ||
