I don't understand your statement about 'Less Micro Intensive', if someone wants more value from their unit, they will find a way to do it if it worth to do so. I will agree on that some level of Macro is important. But Chrono Boost and their friend's existance sorely contributes to APM requirement increase and nothing else. Players who would have tried for more small scale tactics correctly abandons the concept of it as soon as they realize spending more focus on Micro control and tactics is less valuable than keeping up with same Macro over and over again. This ultimately prohibits physically less capable, but more intelligent or experienced player from continuing. Broodwar also had this problem, and I was momentarily happy that Blizzard will remove this cap and introduce more strategy in strategy game, a sentiment that got shattered when I tried Wings of Liberty Beta. SCII is complex with Macro or without Macro, there is no cap in mind game. You know what. If that is approarch western prefers. I think I'm fine with it. Despite for my dislike for MOBA, I don't see the problem of Korean finally leaving Starcraft in the history. They need to understand Blizzard isn't going to care about Korean pros and commentator's opinion about game at all. Why would they? They would be happy to get rid of Korean audience who don't really buy the games anymore but dominating the tournament, ultimately causing animosity among western pro supporters. Ultimately, my prediction is that Blizzard won't ever remove Macro. It just takes too much time and effort to rebalance the whole game without Macro when Starcraft 2 isn't creating enough interest in E-sports community. Good thing too, since Korean community is taking this matter extra hard then they should. This will effectively decrease overall support of SC2 in South Korea. Well. Opinions are opinions. I stopped playing Starcraft completely after announcement of HotS anyway, so you do have better position to argue against my claim. |
You're posts are some of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. No one in the entire fucking world is asking Blizzard to COMPLETELY ELIMINATE MACRO. That's where most of the strategy of the Real Time Strategy game takes place and the top players in the world have plenty of APM to micro their units in the stupid crowd pleasing way you keep talking about. Whatever the case, I don't know where you're getting this bullshit information that Koreans want macro removed from the game, but you and I both know that that simply isn't true. Don't make shit up please. Come with valid points to an argument instead of trying to defend everything you say with "that's what the Koreans want". Uh. No they fucking don't. Anyway, if you don't like or can't macro, please stop posting in this thread, because StarCraft will NEVER eliminate macro and that's a damn fact.
I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
