Play as Ranked
Default OFF: You may now play non-competitive ladder matches, allowing you to practice off-races and try new strategies without damaging your standing. People have been asking for this function for a long time. Not only will this help players deal with ladder anxiety, it will allow for harmless race switching and experimentation.
Starting Rally
Default ON: Your six initial workers will now automatically start mining at the beginning of the game.
Show Worker Status
Default ON: the game will now display the number of workers mining minerals and vespene gas versus the ideal number.
Collapsible Rocks
A new map feature in Heart of the Swarm that lets you further modify the terrain. Unlike Wings of Liberty destructible rocks, the HotS collapsible rocks have two levels of destruction.
(Anmerkung Stone: Baut man ein Command-Center unter Collapsiblen Rocks und schießt auf die Rocks, so machen sie beim Drauffallen auf das CC 300 Schaden

)
Allow Selecting Uncontrollable Units
Default OFF: You can longer select enemy or neutral buildings and units.
Select Entire Army
Default ON: Will automatically select every military unit. Another option to be frowned upon, this will make army management that much easier, eliminating situations where units would be lost or forgotten due to incompetence or accident.
(Anmerkung Stone: Auch Zerg-Queens werden mit-selektiert ... no na!)
Zerg Flavored Menu Screen Theme
Default ON: Toggles a zerg themed background for the out of game menu. Select it because boobs!
(Anmerkung Stone: Man also zwischen dem BattleCruiser und einem Kerrigan-Bild umschalten)
