Starcraft II Analysis - Destructable Rocks

Starcraft II introduces a new game mechanic - the Destructable Rocks

There are many shapes of destructable rocks. horizontal ones, verticles ones, large square ones, small square ones and diagonal ones. Each version of destructable rock has 2000 hit points, and 2 armor.

It will take aproximate 2000 divide by 10 divide by 15, which gets you 14 seconds for 10 marauders to destroy it in game seconds. And since the game is usually in faster speed, then it aproximates it to 10 seconds. It takes much longer to bust it down early on. However, with teamwork, these rocks can be destroyed rather quickly in 3v3 and 4v4 game types.
