Hello again everyone! Today we post an experiment I've been running over the last few weeks. With the Beta coming to an end, I asked my Clan along with 3 other clans to give me their individual thoughts about HOTS in 10 words or less(roughly). The responses were interesting. Some surprising, some expected, but all entertaining. For your enjoyment the following:

Players from DarkOnyx

+ Show Spoiler +


DOxMandratar: I like HOTS but it was rushed. I think blizz needs to take more time.
bronze zerg

DOxJerryRice: Look at all these fancy new gimmicks
gold random

DOXVec: The expansion has potential, but it has the same flaws that haven't been addressed or fixed.
diamond terran

DOxCptCool: Fun, but getting my a** kicked
platinum protoss

DOXSpaceman: HOTS is good but terran is still harder to play then other races in late game
Platinum Terran

DOxPhalanx "New Units, New Strategies, New Rage, More Fun".
diamond protoss

DOxHorizon: HOTS with its new units has enormous potential to become much greater than its predecessor.
diamond protoss

DOxSerial: HOTS is closer to brood war than people want to admit. Thus is fairly well balanced just needs a few tweaks here and there
gold protoss

DOxKingofsquids: "It has been very exciting to test the capabilities of swarm hosts"
gold zerg

DOxXzar: "The new units and abilities make it a much more exciting game'
platinum protoss

DOxMasterLuca: "It's a whole n'other game"
gold zerg

DOxReyder: Feels rushed but impressive and tons of fun. GG.
platinum terran


Players from Atlas Gaming

+ Show Spoiler +

AGRaynes - Terran (Top 8 Platinum), Protoss (Platinum)
Innovative and enjoyable. Allows greater versatility in play and strategy.

AGAndromeda- Back into Bronze League I go!!!!

AGPapabear- hellbats op

AGBilion top 5 Platinum Protoss (EU server)
Hurry up and give me Legacy of the Void, Blizzard.

AGSachairi- Why isn't this Warcraft 4?

AGTrifonic- Own me

AGSunLight, terran (new to terran), gold (hots haven't plated enough xD ) masters (wol).
terran is definitely a lot more fun now

AGMarineLord- Platinum Protoss on EU (playing since 1,5 mounth or so)
Very unbalanced in some points, but a lot of fun. We will be able to see new strategies

AGPoison-Mid Plat Zerg- Hellbats will not be fun to deal with.

AGMaldzar- Hellbats are way too over powered

AGMichael-plat- mutalisks were already unstoppable

AGDeusEx High Diamond(Na, and EU), Gold (HOTS)
"I swear i'll play you more often soon."


Players from Minutes per Action

+ Show Spoiler +

MPA Salty Peaches-Looks just like Wings of Liberty, only with new units.
Random Platinum

MPA FarthFader- Air Toss, Spider Mines, and Swarm Host change many assumptions.

MPA Jeffromqc- absolutely no idea


Players from Team Evolution

+ Show Spoiler +

EVOAdonis-The interface is as least better than the balance.

EVOfpsRuin- Interface is more important than balance!

EVOName- Imbalanced Overall. MetaGame F'd. Terran OP QQToss AirToss Stupid

EVOPhytophth- Zerg is broken. Very easy for overpowered protoss to counter.

EVOIrokuz- makes pros mad (atleast the zerg pros) but awesome UI

EVOFobbyBud-race change again


Big thanks to Clan MPA, Atlas Gaming, and Team Evolution for participating! For more info on DarkOnyx or the Clans that participated you can visit the links below

Certainly a variety of responses. I am really interested in seeing how opinions shift as the expansion is explored more in depth.
Gratitude is the attitude that controls the altitude of life.
