What is this and why is it even in the game? it looks terrible on streams. Every unit and building is displaying this line.
It’s a feature for console that you can also enable on PC.
Forgot what it was called. I turned it off immediately after turning it on to test what it does.

They need to disable it for PC. Having to watch streams with people using it is so awful. It just ruins the visuals.
It’s disabled by default.
Removing the feature would be stupid because everyone should have the choice.
If you think it looks ugly on streams then complain to the streamer or watch someone else’s stream.

They need to remove it from the game. It’s very ugly.
No merman, they don’t. It’s a disabled by default option that streamers or other players can choose to turn on if they want. This game wasn’t made to satisfy you, it was made to reach to as many as possible. Therefore they added in toggleable features so people can cater the game to how they like.
If you don’t like streamers who use it, as said above, complain to the streamers or go watch other streamers.

Adding toggleable features that make the game worse to watch isn’t a good thing.
This game is not made for your enjoyment alone.
Other people do want other things in this game and you should learn to accept that.
Just because you like watching others doesn’t mean that all those people need to be forced to follow your preferences.

It’s not about what I want. It’s about what is best for the game. The triangle lines make the game look uglier. It should not be toggleable. It’s safe to say that most people think it makes the game look worse.
If they would think that they wouldn’t turn them on, would they?
They are off by default.

The lines should be white and thinner. It’s the same issue with the oracle circles. Other RTS games that use these lines make them white and faint. Making the lines the same as the player color is jarring. Having this thick bright green or orange lines and circles on the map looks bad.
The line is designed for players that play on a TV or similar so it has to be big.
It’s kinda an accessibility option.
what is the purpose of it ?
according to the dscription I assumed it would show me the path the unit is going to move when I command it to go to the mouse-position. This would actually be quite interesting, if it would show how a unit will circumvent buildings/trees before you command the unit. But these arrows do not show this 
they only alwasy show a straight line from the cursor to the unit, so I really dont see the point of them
