The map pool right up to this season was fantastic and the way Blizzard has handled new maps was a lot better. The MUs all became a lot more dynamic in HoTS and a lot more exciting for the most part. I can honestly say that for 2013 HoTS was a huge improvement to WoL. But to say that the game still doesn't have some issues is kind of naive, sure the game hasn't yet reached the snooze fest that WoL became at the end but, at this rate its getting there. I think you aren't quite viewing it with the same scrutiny as the rest of the community here on TL, because you haven't watched as much SC2 as the rest of them. I for one saw nearly all premier tournaments last year and nearly all GSTL and Proleague games to boot. I've already seen hundreds of SH games and, after so many of them, I know for sure I don't want many more of them. And thus the current trend of seeing more SH games and also longer ones worries me greatly. I agree that a lot of the doom and gloom posts are still stupid, I do hate the disrespect that a lot of top end players are receiving because of all of these recent trends, but I don't really think they should be ignored either. They are signs of a problem and that things should indeed change. You posted that BW also had its spurs of bad periods and its own problems, but maps improved, strategies changed and that period ended. All this discontent is the community crying out for a change. The same way your body alerts you to a problem by producing pain, the same way the community and the players are trying to reach out and signal a problem. | ||

I actually (yesterday) got headbutted (my head to his chin, so chinbutted I guess) by the same guy as mentioned before. Was bleeding like crazy lol Red highlights in my mohawk imo. But thankfully wasnt anything bad just a small cut. | ||

Reading that was like standing in a ray of sunlight on a gloomy day. (Yeah, these forums have been getting me down of late.) All the best in MMA! Good luck for your first fight later in the year. Edit/ Should this blog not be featured or spot-lighted? Please consider doing so, TL mods. | ||

The same way your body alerts you to a problem by producing pain, the same way the community and the players are trying to reach out and signal a problem. I actually did point out (tho its probably easy to miss in all of that text), that the game definitely has room for improvements, and I could think of a ton just off hand (for starters the Corrupter has been a bad unit since WoL day 1 which would be fine if it wasn't forced to be built everytime someone makes colossi, and obv the SH needs some work). And I also definitely acknowledge that I might just not have accumulated enough hatred for swarm hosts yet, but I m also not saying it's perfect, I'm saying that the way it interacts with the map is a very desirable trait. | ||

What in particular about "swarmhost games" is it that bothers you so much, because the zvps involving swarmhosts are not at all like WoL. Even the super passive stephano / foreigner styles of swarmhost v p are more strategic and positional than bl infestor | ||
