But yeah, the games are still often uneven so their system is not working very well. I thought RT 2v2/3v3/4v4 would share the same MMR but actually it seems separate. Another change to Lost Temple: the islands are no longer islands, there is a ground path to them via the red creep camp near the labs. MMR apparently starts at 1500 and the max seems 3000. | ||

It's funny how in recent years there were only 2 players that had a positive winrate against him (Infi and Lyn). And after all those years I've just realized how weak NE T2 is. They literally don't have any significant units there apart from dryads who are pretty much hard-countered by T1 and T2 units of other races. | ||

Last time I checked(last year) it should be on the page of the download or the one before, where you select out the game from the list of the games you own. The word on the streets is that blizzard gutted the graphic effects on the latest version of classic, I am normally a medium particle setting person myself but must suck for a lot of people. | ||

On the other hand, Happy's dominance has been amazing for the Euro scene. Hawk, Cash and Foggy have all been appreciably improving in the past 3 months and it has clearly had a lot to do with Happy. Having this unbeatable, mighty opponent you run into in every tournament makes you either adapt or be irrelevant. All 3 of them have had some juicy fucking series vs Happy that always seem to go Happy's way. But they've been getting close. Losing 2-3 is not the same as losing 3-0. They are getting there. I'd love to see Cash, Hawk and Foggy all in the next WGL. As for Reforged graphics: Still complete ass. Many fights I simply can't track to nearly the detail I used to. Part of it is that me coming from years of competitive play, there is a lot I am paying attention to. Sure, I get the general impression of who is winning a fight, but that is not nearly the whole story. There is so much nuance that I am used to focusing on and appreciating. I can't do that anymore on B2W's stream. It is significantly less stimulating because I am absorbing so much less information. I just don't see what I used to see. | ||

The amount of stuff they have fixed and the various improvements here and there just shows how completely careless they have been with the release. They should have delayed it by 1 or 2 weeks to fix major bugs and it would not have been such a disaster. What a waste… It's clear that their matchmaking system is not working in RT. I have 2650+ MMR in both 2v2 and 4v4 and I still get almost instant games whenever I search, which means the game isn't ''waiting'' to search a bit for better opponents. I get matched against whoever is searching at the moment. Yesterday my last ally had 13 apm. Yes, 13. I didn't forget a figure here lol. One of my allies today said that he had 544 MMR (it starts at 1500). One of my opponents was so new that he played without a hero... Also they should not have capped MMR at 3000, that way they could have sorted out players by rating and give them a rank like before (highest MMR = rank 1, etc.). It would not be a proper ladder, but still people who love ranks could have something to fight for. If you play on Europe, you can see your stats (or anyone if you know the ID of the player) here: http://profile.w3booster.com/ Blizzard should implement a !stats command as well so that we can see them in game. I played only one race so far but I got a few games on others, I guess it's the joinbugs… If I count well, I got like 50+ of them out of 260+ games, it's insane. That's almost 20% of joinbugs. They really need to make them count as a draw… | ||

All the people who want to be pro but never will be who obsess over their ladder record/rank. Lots of people on Netease immediately leave vs Happy, take the 10 minute time out and search again later. For people who obsess over their ladder score, playing vs someone as consistent as Happy makes no sense. Happy has a 80% win rate vs ***Foggy***. Most high ranked ladder players would likely not win a game game in a BO51. | ||

Sorry, my impression was that since it is understood that sometimes shit goes wild with join bugs, the idea is that a game is considered invalid if it ends before (amount of time). I am assuming that Blizzard has a hard time telling the difference between a join bug and someone just alt+f4. So, if it is possible to invalidate a game in the beginning, people leave vs Happy, as is the case on Netease. | ||

Should be an absolute cakewalk to differentiate between someone leaving early and someone never connecting properly in the first place. This is Blizzard we're talking about tho, who haven't shown themselves remotely capable lately..so maybe not. | ||

I already know i will never "get used to" these new graphics.. They're just simply so off-putting to me.. I can't really enjoy watching the games anymore even if the commentary is good quality.. Damnit. | ||

The thing is, it looks like Blizzard is actively trying to fix it. They just had to release it early. It will probably be totally fine in a year. Until then, I see no reason to stop using Netease. | ||

They worked on this so long, I don't think 1-2 weeks would have made a difference TBH Or maybe it would. I guess since the shitstorm has the size of a fullfledged hurricane they added some guys to the team from other projects who actually know what they are doing | ||

It takes a long time to get used to the new code, architecture, formatting, etc. So even if Blizzard did add more people, we shouldn't have seen the result of that yet. I think it's just a lack of proper testing procedures combined with strict estimates. These have been small fixes which have helped a lot for the overall quality, that they should have seen and done themselves, but for some reason didn't. The fact that they were quickly fixed really underlines how badly the whole project is being handled. Reminds me of my old job, where we weren't allowed to write unit tests because it would eat into our ability to write new features. The only bug fixing we did was when customers reported something back to us. It eventually resulted in a bug where our app failed to report that a sensor had died, eventually resulting in several hundred thousands fish being killed due to a lack of oxygen in the water. That's about the time when I started to look for work elsewhere. | ||
