does this bug anyone else? the stat "weapon speed" in the game is actually the stat for cooldown. by defintion, SPEED is X amount of something that happens in a certain amount of time. thus, the higher the number, the more it happens. but no, weapon SPEED in SC2 increases as the number decreases. the number actually describes cooldown: the length of time in between each attack, the exact inverse of speed.
This could've gone in my "fine details" thread. Agreed with this - just because we get the idea nontheless doesn't mean the wording doesn't need to be accurate.
I prefer it this way tbh. "Weapon cooldown" doesn't really sound good, does it? But it's better to know the interval between attacks than actual speed in attacks/sec. I find weapon cooldown more useful to know, but the term "weapon cooldown" not as nice as weapon speed.
