    The timer is too long, I would genuinely like to see it cut to ten or fifteen minutes, it shouldn't be a part of the strategy to sit and think for 5-10 minutes on one move, its fustrating and ruins the game for me. It should not be a resource that players use, it should be a timer on when you lose the match for taking too long. Nothing more.

    I figured it was time for an update. A more coherent update and one of less complaints. Just as a way to calmly discuss the fact people treat the timer as a resource and not as a way to prevent people from dragging matches out far too long.

    It is a resource. Make ranked matches too short, and I'm gone from there, except making just troll builds (woo Infected zombies with 7+ Demonic Revenge!) since I couldn't seriously compete any longer -- and since league and Campaign play is a lot more limited, I'll probably just gradually drift away altogether as simple natural consequence. It just won't be enjoyable for me. I struggle with leagues enough as it is.

    EDIT: I appreciate that this a thinker's game, or at least can be. You can have the blaze-through-without-thinking approach, but you can also have the sit-back-and-calculate approach. I know, I know simba, you think while the other player is going. That's great. So do I. But when you prepare for either an attack, a heal, a pass, a retreat, or a second attacker's approach, and instead you get a move all three opp chars at once, sometimes you have to adjust and think after an opp's play.

    Regards,

    More often than not you need to ajust, even when they do what you expect

    Indeed, Macizo, absolutely agreed. I just hoped to write it in such a way that snicker would truly "see" it.

    I like the 20-minute timer.
