Blues were pretty quick and diligent replying to threads/posts and fixing issues relating to 1.18 bugs and UI improvements but I have not seen them say anything whatsoever regarding peoples concerns with some of the new unit designs/death animations. | ||

People need to be vocal about this because once the game gets shipped. changing animations are out of the question. This game deserves the harshest criticism on any potential change. Even if it is "just" changing graphics. On closer inspection, the Marine death animation in the old gif is the same as the one in the new gif, but the blood decal was using the old BW decal as a placeholder. You can see how the end of the animation doesn't line up with the placeholder decal. They probably got around to replacing those placeholder decals since then. The same could be said for the Zergling death animation and blood decal. They definitely need more polish. In particular, I think the Marine's death animation and new blood decal looks too awkward being that wide and spread out. The Zergling blood decal needs a lot more polish. In fact, I think a lot of this needs a few passes of polish and feedback. However, I think it'll look better in full resolution instead of in low-quality gifs. The new sprites that they showed off several weeks ago looked decent enough. I hope they also revert the changes to the edge of the Archon ![[image loading]](https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/gallery/0AAPN0GIQ0I91492476406344.jpg) | ||

Multiple gifs weren't a problem back then. You just had a to wait a few seconds. Though obviously not high res. I suspect that people might have upgraded their computers in the intervening 20 years even in poorer countries as if they can afford them then, they can afford them now, as well as better internet. | ||

I'm really concerned about the zerg gore and the plasticy archons though. Yeah, they need to slightly tone down the debris on those marine deaths, though it's interesting that they got team color into the animation. | ||

When I go to my profile I have the correct stats but wrong MMR. When I go to the leaderbords for ladder I have the correct MMR but wrong stats (the stats is doubled). I'm guessing they are trying to sort it out as we speak, lots of things buggy with Ranked. | ||
