Kilgor, As far as I understand, there are no absolute opponents to quick battles here. There are only opponents to its one-sided implementation. And the main argument on this matter is simple and clear: if one player uses quick battles, and the other doesn't, then the first player has an obvious advantage.

I also don't understand the fervent persistence of those advocating for one-sided quick battles. If the idea of replayable quick battles was liked by virtually everyone, then everyone will happily install the mod, giving both themselves and their opponent the option to use quick battles. What, then, is the point of making it one-sided? To force the whole world to play with the HD mod? It seems to me that this contradicts the very idea of the HD mod.

Imagine an abstract situation: a world championship is taking place. A player from, say, Albania, who doesn't even know about the existence of the mod and replayable quick battles, is playing against a player using the HD mod. And our player, without the opponent's knowledge, will be using quick battles. Is that fair?
