in sc1 and brood war and still in star2 the mutiplayer was based on 2 kind of strategy's: rush and macro.
Now they want to kill the rush...they said that so the game will not be as dynamic like before..sad

@Shellshock: You can use rushes as good as you could in WoL.If they don t work there then it won t work here and if they do work then they will work here too.Thought rushes are the same you can do a ton more timing pushes or a fast tech up.The fact that you no longer need siege tech, that reapers can be built 2 at a time, the fact that toss has oracles and mothership cores and the fact that swarm hosts are cheap and kind of low tech(it is lair and you need infestation pit, but it takes 9-10 minutes from the beggining to make those).So the game got more dynamic. In most game you will use with rushes, defences,new abilities and new things that are gonna be discovered by other players
