As Zerg, I would love to minimize the constant jumping between bases by being able to see the inject timer on the production tab with multiple hatcheries selected. That would be SO AWESOME. Oh my god, I would be tapping my hatch hotkeys for the whole night after this feature gets released. Non-textured minimap is a no brainer. It is just so much more readable, that implementing it should actually be treated as a bug fix for the current minimap. | ||

They should just update the tie conditions to not include flying buildings. | ||

The sole fact that everyone argues by how "unfair" it is clearly shows that the question of flying buildings does not belong in a thread about "minor gameplay improvements" and should be swiftly removed. | ||

Proxies become far less likely or strong, scouting at a much earlier time changes builds, etc. Starcraft has always had a bit of luck involved in early game and builds. Usually this can be countered with better play. About the random player race showed on loading screen. In my experience of up to masters, random players tend to all in a lot and have mediocre macro play and understanding of the races. So playing safe against a random, even if it puts you behind in the early game, it's the best way to play as you make up for it the longer the game lasts. One more thing that involves some unknowns, but that are balanced in the end by other things. I can see why some of these things can be seen as unfair, but in the big picture they are balanced out by other "unfair" things. 4p maps also create more gambles at pro level which push that luck factor over the edge imo. As a random master i try to play as standard as possible (although that includes allins in zvz :p), and because i tell my race, my opponents are allowed to open more freely. Playing safe vs random isn't necessarily better because if you have a similar MMR (so more often than not), he will generally have the same average level, but will be more likely to slip up against heavy agression/better macro, as he plays each matchups 3 times less than you do. I actually have a much higher winrate vs standard safe openings than vs allins.

Limited fuel on flying buildings : Self-explanatory, this does affect balance in favor of other races but hey, maybe it's time for terrans to actually lose unwinnable games like everyone else. A very unpopular change among avilos :> wasnt a problem for 15+ years, until sc2 kiddos claim its a balance problem | ||

It has not been a problem for over a decade and now among sc2 kiddos it is a balance problem. but thank you for your unnecessary comment too. | ||

On December 05 2016 02:20 ArtyK wrote: The reason random has its own MMR has nothing to do with your opponent knowing your race, it's because you don't know yours beforehand. It means you rank up for playing all 3 races, something you can't replicate unless you cycle through playing one terran game followed by a zerg then a protoss one. But even then you'd just see your actual MMR for each race and not your average. What profile banner are you talking about btw? When does it ever display your race with the most wins? You do know your own race when you play random, it's on the loading screen. Thus, if random is revealed, there is no reason it should not count towards race specific MMR. Randoming a zerg would then be essentially equivalent to choosing to play zerg. I'm talking about the banner at the top of the profile. Raynor for Terran, a DT for Protoss and an infestor for Zerg. Previously it was a planet for Random, now it's whichever race has the highest win in the season. | ||

"Randoming a zerg would then be essentially equivalent to choosing to play zerg." You didn't choose to play zerg though, knowing in loading screen =/= choosing before. "if random is revealed, there is no reason it should not count towards race specific MMR" i literally explained in my previous answer why random has it's own MMR, and it's not because of the loading screen : "It means you rank up for playing all 3 races, something you can't replicate unless you cycle through playing one terran game followed by a zerg then a protoss one. But even then you'd just see your actual MMR for each race and not your average." Either you misread what i said or i'm just gonna have to respectfully disagree on this one :p As for the banner i completly forgot it was a thing x) Pretty sure 1% of the player base must still know about this, i don't really care but yeah, would make more sense having a planet/dice for randoms. | ||

The points I am in favor of are: * Tab unit priority, especially the manual choice of the priority order. * Production timer * Hatch blocking larvaes and eggs * Random player race showing on loading screen | ||
