Does anyone know Blizzard's official stance on custom hotkeys yet? Or will they wait till Remastered is near to say anything? A lot of people wanna know so they can know if they will invest a lot of time into Brood War :D

when you are 38 years old married with children's, you dont have that amount of time to expend on practicing idiotics hotkeys on a modern ERA, we are in 2017 not 1998.

bro there is a reason why they remove key bidding on the 1.18, and its because that could throw year of practice from pros vs new comers... what im saying is they dont want to lose their 1million hotkey practice to someone that just started the game fresh and changed the hotkeys to something more easy to use...

you can lose a lot of time doing marines at [M] rather than just [A] or laying mine just a [E] instead of [i]

this is a issue for me and many others that dont like original starcraft broodwar hotkeys anymore... what they need to do is add the key rebinding back and ban hotkey rebinding for BIG TOURNAMENTS OR SO.

I know this is really minor and the vast majority of people don't care but they broke team melee with 1.18.

I'm hosting a small and unorganized league called Rookie Team League that uses team melee in the format because it is a unique and fun game mode that emphasizes the "team" part. With 1.18 you can no longer select all the races on your team. Prior to this you could play with 1-4 players on your team and all slots had a race option, so you could have two players and play Terran. Now when you do not have a full 4 players in each slot for your team it assigns you random workers in the slots you did not fill. This is problematic because most people who play team melee want to work together and micro/macro, they don't want to mix random workers into their race. It makes for convoluted game play and strategy rather than emphasizes on it because there are clearly OP decisions that everyone would take if given the freedom to use all 3 race workers (such as 50 mineral extractor, 300 mineral expansion hatchery for early game edges). I mean if people have fun with that, that is cool, but removing the option to stay to one race completely when you have less than 4 people breaks the game mode because the majority of the minority of people who play team melee do not want that.

1.18 should be adding or improving features, but it seems like it is removing them instead.

Anyone know how to play on Fish without updating to 1.18? It was working fine for me earlier today, but now every time I log in, it says that I need to update battlenet. I still see Koreans play on 1.16 on Afreeca, though.

For me the game freezes when I hit cancel. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my starcraft version or what. Have you done this with mcalauncher?
