I this it does increase the skill ceiling, but it also raises the skill floor significantly to the point where a HotS Plat player like me can barely keep up with LotV at all.

How many games have you played in LotV? Just want to make sure it is not just the novelty of things.

Agreed. I rarely play SC1 or 2 outside of LoTV. Yet I can handle the fast pace just fine after my first 5-10 games. Maybe Brood War prepared me for games with high skill floors because I don't think it's that bad.

my ping is far too high to even try the game out. Where are the servers located?

I think that right now we have only NA servers.

For me problem with LotV is not that the game is too fast, that I actually like, but all the abilities of units. I preferred simple WoL over HotS, and now LotV is even worse (in my opinion!).
There is a big chance I will buy LotV, but I just don't like it at this stage as I used to like SC2. I understand that it is BETA and lots of things will be changed, but general direction is to make the game more complicated, more buttons, more hotkeys. I am absolutely not a fun of this direction.
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

I am really not liking all of the super gimmicky units / abilities, adepts, tank drops, reaper mines to name a few, the gimmicky plays really just make me turned off. T_T

The unit Patch isn't online as far as I know. Only the client change and bug fixes have gone through so far. Raven is unchanged, so are the upgrades.

2.5.3 is only the bug changes and UI changes and ladder. Current client version is 2.5.3.3642 beta

The other things are just suggestions that they are working on for future patches.

Okay I found something amazing (for me), but their new way to set up groups for archon mod... also work in 1c1. So, in that way, we finally have a useful way to set up control groups, and remove units from them to split the army.

How it works, for example: you have 20 roach in your group 3, and you want to split these in two. In HoTS, you have to either shift click each units, which is long and not very intuitive, or recreate two separate groups, but like this you lose the eggs and the rally units. Now you can select the 10 roach you want, do alt+control+2 and it will create the group of 10 roach in CG 2 AND automatically remove these 10 roach from the group 3.

I've probably played 15 games total, 6 tonight. And that's all I want to play because LotV doesn't fix core gameplay issues and just ads more stress to the equation.

I am not alone! Also I suppose still lagging into US, so I do not have it on my disk anymore.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Defending against protoss timing I would say, ravager attack break forcefield and are out faster, plus now with their range they are more interesting.
