This Indeed

I don't get this why can't people just connect to battle.net and play each other ON A LAN over Battle.net. Why do they wanna play each other through direct LAN instead of over Battle.net ...like there wont be ANY difference. -.-

I've done both LANing on bnet and using the LAN(UDP)

and LAN(UDP) is a lot better than bnet

I'm slightly disappointed that Blizzard decided to cut out LAN, I don't honestly see how it will cut down on pirating. However, I've heard that bnet will have a better connection quality, and that will hopefully cut down on lag and disconnect. ( Though I have doubts towards a "perfect" network without lag) It is a new game i guess... I am excited nonetheless.

Latency Problems - Being able to play with more than 1 other person and actually being able to create games.

OFC it's going to be lan, you will just be forced to connect to the internet.

I want LAN, I don't want an auto matchmaking system, and I want replays to be watched with friends and rewind for replays.

Obs tools and Replay analysis seems nice, just keep everything the way it has been and then add new things!

balance of the 3 races out of the box. its easier to add features later IMO cuz then sc2 will attract competitive AND casual gamers cuz no one will complain >.> not sure if this is a feature though

Based on my habits for BW, I said observer tools. I obsed friends play more often than watched reps with friends. Being able to have more info while obsing would be nice (obs mode tool is awesome). I hardly ever played LAN except while in Korea, but even then I certainly didn't need to LAN. Sometimes we'd stay on Bnet to play our games anyway, just for convenience.

What if you wanted to

1) rewind a replay... 2) that you were watching with friends... 3) over a LAN?!??!?!!?

The humanity of it all...

I was going to say the LAN feature, but I guess I can get used to playing with friends on b.net. I actually chose the replay analysis tool because I love seeing stats on replays
