What Are The Pros And Cons Of A StarCraft 2 Addon?

I have read amongst forums as of late about the hype on a StarCraft 2 multiplayer addon

. What is it? Does it help? What does it do? There are a lot of questions to be answered, and here are my own thoughts.

At the time of writing this article, there is one single released addon. This can be a good and a bad thing. At first, I was under the impression that it couldn't be worth anything since it's one of a kind, and addons are not common in StarCraft 2. My initial reaction was that there must be more than one to stem some competition to make sure it's worth while, but I quickly came to realize that to be untrue, since games like StarCraft 2 are all about competition. I can really see this area growing exponentially over the next few months.

Another big concern of mine was if it was going to require to change any game files in order to run. Again my worries were stomped away quickly, as the addon doesn't require any alterations of any sort. This eased my mind, as I was afraid this would end up being some sort of hack for the game, which I am definitely not going to mess with.

Then I wanted to know what all I can learn from a StarCraft 2 addon? What kind of benefits could it really give to me? Well as it seems, there was a lot that it could teach me and enhance my game. One of the things I noticed immediately was the counter ability. Say you're going against a Terran opponent, and you send a scout to spy on them and see that they are massing up marines. Well inside the addon you can click what race you are playing at the time and click how to counter marines. I can really see how this could help a lot of players get better at the game, especially people who are not familiar with StarCraft 2, or real time strategy games in general. The only big downside I see to this is it kind of trivializes the game for some players.
