Everyone ranted so much about how 'wrong' Destiny was with his criticisms and now they praise blizzard for creating the things Destiny suggested before the information about HotS was released.
Why don't people give credit where it's due
This is implying that none of it was actually planned for HotS. Which it with most certainty was.

Why don't people give credit where it's due You should probably include at least a few specific examples of what you mean, otherwise I don't really know what you are talking about and have no real option to disagree or agree with you. BTW - from what I've read from people who have followed Destiny's transition away from SC2 more closely than I have, his move was largely motivated by financial issues, and LoL streamers get more viewers, and potentially can have 2x, 4x, 8x as many viewers than SC2 streamers.
unranked matches, improved battle.net, unproved battle.net community, improved chat, HotS is much more streamlined for the casual player etc

So does that mean that Destiny "called it" or brought about the decision to implent them?

It means that the problems he brought up sc2 was dismissed by the majority of the community as being ridiculous
and now everyone is riding blizzards dick for fixing the things everyone said wasn't a problem when they were brought up by Destiny

are you joking?
he's a diamond player which is hard as fuck to do. he's playing only adc though, and if he can't, he supports.
viewer wise he's better than when he last streamed WoL, he still has anywhere from 1,5k-6k viewers

He got to diamond by cheesing the ladder with Draven pre-nerf BT, and duoing with high ranked players.

Is accurate.

Everyone who watches a LoL stream thinks the person who's playing is terrible. I'd go so far as to describe it as human nature at this point. The average person sits there absorbing everything and then shits on the player for not noticing X or Y even though the player is the one playing and the viewer has all his mental faculties dedicated to just watching and criticizing.
Edit: Choosing Draven and buying items: confirmed to be a cheese

This is completely false. There are tons of excellent players, and watching a player play has nothing to do with perception of skill. Regularly feeding in Silver League does. League is just not Steven's forte; he isn't good at it.

Please know that juvenile tactics like that don't work in substitute of an actual response. Draven scales near double on autos with AD, so rushing pre-nerf BT on him was near the level of lane cheese because it was so abusive.

I like how you actually linked to the wikipedia article instead of saying something like, "nice straw-man."

That's silly. There's been many of us that have been calling it Battlenet 0.2 for some time for many of these reasons and so did Destiny. But to say he was the lone figure at the time is some pretty sketchy memory at best.

I watch Destiny regularly and I like his stream but to be completely honest he kinda got carried to diamond in LoL. I mean when he's not duoing, he has trouble even carrying silver league games. Watch any other diamond player smurfing and they will only lose maybe 2 or 3 games all the way up to high plat. But I don't think anyone who watches his stream, expects top level performance from him. Most people (including me) watch him because he's a funny and entertaining person.

You sound like the type who gets mad at video games.
League of Legends is ten player game with two teams of five players. To single out one player for rushing one item and call it "cheese" because his Q has the potential to deal a lot of damage is so myopic it borders on absurd. Maybe you have bad memories of trying to lane against a Pantheon with five Black Cleavers. I feel bad for you son. But that's a completely different situation than what we're talking about, and that only lasted for a couple of days. Getting mad at people for building a Bloodthirster first as part of their build?
As for the rest of your post, stating "well my opinion is correct, I certainly don't do that" isn't a response.

He solo-queued the highest elo portion of his climb into the old version of platinum. He got into the new diamond before PhantomLord, and PhantomLord duoed with him to get into it too. Kind of funny how that works.

LoL is a depressing game. It doesn't surprise me that he's having more fun with HotS.

Is it surprising that he has more fun trying a new game as opposed to playing the same game for several hours a day?
