Yes SC2 has more buttons and hotkeys in use than that? Your point?
my point is that your attempts to paint moba's in a poor light on mechanical grounds is misinformed.
No it's not, you have a team. you have sight wards. You control one unit, outside of listening to your teammates (In a competitve level) 99% of the time you are focusing on yourself and your 1-2 opponents in your lane. Don't get me started on how faceroll jungling is.
yes, you have sight wards.
in sc2 if you want vision of an area of the map, you dedicate a nearly insignificant amount of resources to it in building an overlord or an observer and sending it to that area. in a moba, walking blindly across fog to ward an area you don't control is a good way to feed. The hardest part about scouting in starcraft is remembering to do it.
Compare that to the the Micro, map awareness, unit composition, scouting, and doing all that while having immaculate macro. None of that moba garbage comes even close.
But you wouldn't know that since you use one hotkey right?
apparently i was a gold league masters zerg/protoss. It's hilarious that your attempt at mockery refutes your own point. If i succeeded as well as i did in starcraft without knowing those things, how exactly do you intend to argue that they're a requirement?
Sometimes I wonder if you even play this game enough to argue about it with me at all? You take it upon yourself to try and "1UP" me every chance you get. Is it because I'm somewhat new to gaf? Is it because I'm better than you at SC2, jealousy perhaps? lolol
I'm sorry, last i checked 2008 was a smaller number than 2009, which would mean that you've been on gaf longer than i have. but don't let that keep you from this complex you've developed.
and sure you're better, it's normal for active players to be better than inactive ones.
It was actually suggested that SC2 is a dead game, inferring moba's superior. I replied with "I don't play braindead games", which is my opinion. Which in turn others took offense to.
inferring moba's are more popular, which they are.
Tribes is a dead game. mvc2 is a dead game. quake is a dead game. super turbo is a dead game, brood war is a dead game. Guess that must retroactively nullify any worth those games ever had.
