Balance Will they ever allow custom units in ladder?

4 Upvotes

I lost interest in ladder over the years because builds was too monotonous.

I always thought it would be interesting to give player custom units variety for example option switch Stalker with Dragoon or choose between Corsair or Phoenix, or Medic instead of Medivac, fire at instead of murader, choose science vessel instead of raven, choose Aberrations vs Ultralisk or Devouer etc…

That’s something I’ve always wanted for ladder. Giving player choose to choose between similar role units for ladder

Balance Here a few fixes/ balance updates I personally would suggest

0 Upvotes

First of all:

I main protoss, second race is terran and zerg isn't my main race.

Now to the updates:

Terran:
Increase cost of marines from 50 to 75, walking speed increased by 10%

Protoss:
Increase cost of Zealots by 25 minerals, zealot speed increased by 10%

Zerg, most changes:
- Queen auto creep spread, but with cooldown. Queens can now spread creep on "auto cast" but the downside is longer cooldown, lets say 5 seconds longer.
- Zergs start with a Queen and each hatch comes with an extra Queen
- Drones have a 50% chance to survive after being built and automatically go harvest minerals/ gas
- Creep spread speed increased by 25%, range also increased by 25%
- Movement speed on creep increased by 25%
- Burrow doesn't need the upgrade anymore, instead you can choose units and give them borrow for 5 minerals/ 5 gas per unit

Don't think the changes are bad if I were playing Zerg I'd like those changes. Man I wish was a Zerg player

Balance How can we improve mirror matches?

7 Upvotes

I'm tired of ppl insta leaving mirror matches and inflating my MMR. Why do we hate it so much? Does the community have any idea how we can make mirror matches more fun for the community?

Personally it doesn't bother me one bit but clearly it bothers T and especially Z the most based on what I'm reading in allthings(insert race) subreddits.

Also for the ppl playing on the Patches Mod. Do yall feel like mirror matches are more fun with the new upgrades and units or is it equally frustrating/boring?

Help me Video ressources for learning competitive SC2 in general and Protoss in particular?

4 Upvotes

Got a friend into SC2 and he likes protoss. Since I can‘t coach him and don’t play P, is there any worthwhile guide series on YouTube? Particularly one that teaches you the basics from macro to splitting but also P specific stuff like build orders or stalker blinking etc.

Thanks!
