F$%^! lessons “Learned”, and i can't edit the title  O well epic fail...
Here are a few little flaws in WC3 that really should have been fixed a long time ago. I don't know that Blizzard will repeat the same mistakes but for those lucky few who DO get into the SCII beta please make sure stupid little items like this don't get missed. I know most people will be focused on balance, units and stuff but please try to "see the trees in the forest" if you know what I mean.
* Add an option in the menu to disable the god damn windows key! I really don't like the fact I have to edit my registry or use a 3rd party program to do this.
* Same thing goes for ALT-TAB ^
* Please add a menu where we can easily configure ALL hot keys to whatever we choose , something similar to Warkeys would be nice!
* Add am EASY way to squelch your opponent. When their name “IllIIlIIlIIlIIlllI” (L & i) it's a little difficult. A box you could quickly check in game sure would be nice.
* ALT-QQ!?!?! Hello!!! how many countless games have been thrown away on this little gem. Option to disable please...
Anything else I missed?

I think what you listed was the least of everyone's worries
I, for one, have never accidently Alt-qq'd, or Alt-tabbed for the matter
|
I accidentally alt qq'd before when i use beastmaster =(
|
I did it in WC3, when the Show Health Bar option was not implemented, but in StarCraft ...

Meh. I've hit the windos key instead of control a few times when hotkeying, which pissed me off, but it wasn't game changing so I wouldn't not get SC2 because of features like disabling keys and stuff don't exist but it would be nice if they were changed.
/run-on sentence

i hope the annoying chains from war3's interface don't make a return. they were nice to look at the first couple of times, but after that became annoying
plus not letting people watch replays on bnet was a mistake
|
SC2 has the same alt functionality as War3, so disabling altQQ would be really nice (Q is obviously a great key to rebind something to).

is this for real? hold down alt to see health? not sure how i feel about this
|
Yea, I hated Alt+Tab in WC3... would always be holding down Alt to see unit health and then try to tab through a control group to use an ability and get fucked and lose my hero or something....
I've never accidentally AltQQ but i'm sure it has happened.

This. The most retarted thing ever and if we can't watch replays on bnet for SC2 there will be hell to pay.
Other things include making an option to skip menu animations. SC was fast with no animation, but for some reason in war3 they put this slow sliding animation which means going from the main menu to joining a game takes so much longer than it should.

Need to be able to manually alter what colors people appear as.
I'm colorblind

OH GREAT BECAUSE THE GREEN+RED IT CHANGES IT TO IS REALLY GREAT HUH?
Like 99.9% of the people that are color blind, I'M RED/GREEN color blind.
I want to be able to change it to like red/blue or yellow/blue etc

I have never once ALT-QQ'd out of a game accidentally in the 11 years I have played StarCraft.
I have never ALT-tabbed or ALT-QQ'd out of a WC3 game either. As for the windows button, take it out of your keyboard. It serves no real purpose anyway.
How the hell do you even do that accidentally?
|
windows key is useless
ctrl-escape does the same thing ffs
it was just put there to annoy gamers
IBM model m ftw!

I believe this is why players had the ability to watch SC replays on Bnet and not WC3:
Watching replays with other players online was easy in SC1 because the map file was included in the replay file. Therefore, players without the map that the game was played on would still be able to watch the replay.
In Warcraft 3, map files were a lot larger, some over 4.5 mb. If the map file was included in the replay file, some player's replay folder would be massive.
It's very likely that SC2 map files will be a lot larger than WC3 map files.
Would you rather replays be 100kb or be 5mb but you're able to watch them on Bnet?
Blizzard believes the costs out weigh the benefits.

if you are watching a replay of any 1v1 game, the maps wont be over 500 kb (most would run about 200).
