I think macro is more about, when/where to expand, what units to produce from how many factories and eventually where else to spend the money. The MBS is less related to macro IMHO. The MBS would just help to redirect the APM to other places, and I think it would be good. It's like having ctrl+1, 2..9 for units. Without controls, the player would just need much more APM to do the same things. Now, making easier for player to deliver its decisions to the computer is a good thing, because it increases the entertainment. Also it helps discover the imba places in the game much faster. | ||

Making the game easier to handle doesn't make it more entertaining. | ||

It's not hard speed. It's mental speed. A pianist or super typist doesn't play with 220 APM. And someone who does isn't also a great pianist or typist, etc. | ||

I think he was an amateur in a clan with a few people who later became progamers. I want to read the article! Link please? | ||
