I stopped with LotV. I played one Mafia game. My reason to come here is the long term high quality that tl.net overall delivers. Also, I try to keep up with the scene since before the Koreans got locked out, I felt that with KR practice partners on EU, foreigners had a basis to grow skillwise. I was hoping for a joint koreigner scene and still expect Blizzard to finally change the system.
Foreign competitive events feel empty as they do not deliver top competition. But I like players such as Harstem and Snute. So I don't want to leave this site.
Oh and I am still waiting for that global event wcs thingy.
Summary: LotV is a bad game and Blizzard is artificially keeping it alive. I want WoL or HotS back. Both had their flaws, but both were way more fun to play.
Edit:
I've read a lot of comments by now. Maybe it's just nostalgia that makes me blame the game and Blizzard. I mean, I still play CS:GO - a lot. I play Dead By Daylight, sometimes we even get out AoE 2 and have a game or two. I don't think my missing passion is related to nostalgia, after re-thinking it. Maybe it is because "I am used to something. Now it is changed. Adapt to the change." At least I identified that as the reason for me to quit Heroes.

I come for occasional Broodwar streams and to check on the Street Fighter and Path of Exile threads. Those games are what I play now but I got (back in SF's case) in to them here on TL.
Haven't watched or played StarCraft2 since shortly after Heart of the swarm release. I didn't really like Wings of liberty but I stuck with it and played online a fair amount because Blizzard expansions had always made games better for me in the past. Also watched to follow the pros I had become fans of in Broodwar. Hots felt like more of the same and pros I liked were falling off so I was done. Haven't seen a single minute of lotv, just reading about it told me I would hate it.

Even back in like 2006 or whatever before sc2 was even announced as alpha a lot of people didnt even play BW but still came to the site for the community, the news, replays, liquibet, and because they were fans of players or teams etc.
Now the site has multiple games, and is completely different than how it was back then, so obviously more people come here for more reasons.
Me personally for example, used to play a ton of BW and SC2, rarely watched anything to do with progaming or payed attention to that news. It's the same for phsyical sports too, I'd much rather play than watch other people play. So I came here for the community and sharing of information about playing the game (new maps, strats, glitches, etc).
I rarely play any SC anymore, where I used to put in like 400 games a month at my peak. And ever since the site changed for SC2 and all these other new games (as well as simply getting older and taking careers) the community sort of disappeared, at least for the veterans anyway. So I occasionally pop into the site just to see what's goin on.

I haven't played in years. Just never bought HotS or LotV. Really enjoyed the game while I did play it but I still watch broodwar streams occasionally.
|
I unequivocally refuse to buy LotV, so... never.
|
A few times a week, but going to be daily soon, I think.

I'm just here to troll.

But really, I bleed over from liquiddota and sometimes I'll watch korean broodwar events.

played around 1600 games since lotv release
|
Are we talking sc2? Yearly, just to check that game is still.... not as much fun as BW
|
Haven't played a game of sc2 in 4 years.

for me it's kinda hard to tell, because when i'm actively playing starcraft, i do it almost every day. sometimes thought i make a pause from starcraft, which can last for like 6 months

legacy of the void isn't a very good game. if you didn't play the previous expansions at a masters level it's downright unplayable. i understand they wanted to speed up the game to make it more entertaining to watch. unfortunately making the game marginally better to watch has made it unplayable for 90% of the playerbase. i still enjoy the rts genre and try catching big matchups when they happen, however, it's really hard to make an effort to watch a game that you don't even have the ability to play as designed.

I play daily for a month or so, then I get fed up and quit for a few months, then get inspired and come back. I started playing again recently to try out the balance test map. I'm still around the same MMR on ladder, even though I stopped playing for months. I see the same old faces still playing at 4am on EU ladder. I still regularly watch proleague and GSL when I'm not actively playing sc2 myself. never miss a GuMiho or INno game.
|
use to play 30 game a day but since end of hots and lotv quit playing sc2. cause zerg doesn't feel like zerg in lotv, and since marine is new swarm.
|
I play a few times a week when I'm into it but I will periodically stop for like a month.
it's a great alternative to the insane randomness of hearthstone
I watch every single korean match that happens including BW. It is my absolute favorite form of entertainment and I can't imagine not having it

Would play more often if I didn't have two jobs T_T
