There’s a greater emphasis on making big decisions early. It’s a suite of new units, features and balance changes that will define the character of the game for the next couple of years.įrom my position of limited skill, I can tell you that Legacy of the Void’s changes make the competitive game faster, more skill-intensive, and less fiddly.
For the long-term fans who know StarCraft primarily in this regard, Legacy of the Void marks the start of the game’s new era. That makes sense: it’s the original stadium-filling esport and one of the most skill-intensive games ever made. StarCraft’s competitive element has become the thing it is best known for over the course of the series’ long life.
