I think we are bound to get division on micro issue. On one side there are players who prefer slower game, because it allows them to micro. On the other side there are players who prefer fast paced, where the micro was more challenging and hence rewarding.

If I remember correctly, RA/TA/SC relied on resource management and base building. It is not the case here.

In fast paced there was more style. Each player had to find their own balance between macro/micro/dragon. Now anyone will macro, micro and use their dragon. You won't be hurt on one, because you spent to much time on the other. Less choice now, even if it sounds illogical. That said the ability to access all 3, even for a new player, is easier (less challenging) and gives more fun overall.
