If you really wanna play BW then just go play it, the game is beautiful as is already. Eh I can understand it. Any game that only has custom ladders can be intimidating as heck. Having a BW HD with auto matchmaking would be a lot more friendly for new players. Not to mention getting it to run at all can be a nightmare | ||

Any newcomer can easily find D rank (and below) games on iccup, i've been playing on iccup for the past 4-5 months.. There's always 200-300 players online, even more on the weekends. | ||

What % do you think are people who are new to the game? D rank is NOT synonymous with newcomers. | ||

D rank is NOT synonymous with newcomers. The majority are D rank, and plenty of them are D- which is an even match for new players. | ||

D rank is NOT synonymous with newcomers. I don't really understand what you're trying to argue about, whenever i host a D rank game (on a smurf) it takes 10 secs before someone joins. If someone drops down to D- he's also gonna find games. Have you actually played on iccup? The hard part is finding high ranked games, not low ranked games. | ||

Note: I don't think that BWHD should try to do that Of course, I just don't have faith in the current Blizzard to do that.The gameplay/balance changes needed are very conservative. | ||

and most of these were not even close to D rank level that was healthy now we're most likely never getting this again save for a new great game, but ICCup being difficult to find and difficult to play on doesnt help at all, the migration of the core player base to private servers works in korea because people are close enough to each other that someone can tell you about fish but in the west the population density of BW is too low for a lot of people to be aware of ICCup if they want to join in I think | ||

The issue isn't how fast your smurf is going to find games, its that if there are no newcomers incoming, they're not going to find someone at their skill level, someone completely new to the game. Do you think if you sat someone who is completely new to BW to do their first game on ICCUP, they're going to find someone with comparable experience and skill? It's way more likely they'll get crushed by someone's smurf of someone bored because they can't find games at a high rank. That's not going to be a good experience for them. | ||
