The spells that freeze and stop micro management make the game less enjoyable to watch. Fungal forcefield and concussive all make micro for the other person almost non-existent. Thanks for posting this though, lots of good stuff about game design in here. You kidding me? Those forcefields, fungals, and getting caught in concussive shells is what can make the early game exciting. Those things make every second of the game important. Get out of position slightly? BAM! That's the end of that force and possibly the game changing event. | ||

That's the end of that force and possibly the game changing event. different people want different things i guess. i for one is against early game spells but you know, "get used to it" mentality is what keeps me sane. spells, strong spells especially should be reserved for late game(emp, feedback, maelstrom, dark swarm to name a few). its what made bw epic. micro wars throughout early game and using spells later in the game with a possibility of tech rushing like nal_ra's arbitor rush. | ||

IMO, spells make the early game less exciting, esp. the micro battles. In bw, early game without spells made it extremely exciting to watch as the way the players used individual units was amazing. Early game micro was so precise and intense, whereas in SC2, the spells reduced that effect a bit. Esp. concussive shells as they just infinitely kite everything without much effort. | ||

Goliath as a multiplayer unit in HotS would make me soooo happy. Really interesting video too, thanks for the link! idealy it wouldnt have the same ai :3 | ||
