wait.

Whats the point of having Arcade and Custom games?

Custom games are the melee and team game maps.

Arcade games are all the crazy UMS games.

I think it's a good idea to keep them separate so that serious players won't have to sift through pages of UMS to get to the actual melee maps.

I think custom games is like melee games with custom settings, arcade is like "non melee" games. I'm pretty sure WoL has a "custom games" option in the "starcraft" section after patch 1.5 which is used for melee games.


It should be called "Custom Melee". "custom games" and "arcade" in the same list makes it seem very confusing.

In the end, it's all just semantics that shouldn't that big of a concern, and I think people will get used to it over time.

It's not just melee in fact. There are unit tester and your recent played games. So calling it melee is also confusing. IDK. Custom Games are inside multiplayer menu in WOL for a reason.

Does unranked play have an mmr system so you play against people of your level, or is it random?


it's MMR and ranked/unranked are matched against each other, it was confirmed by Blizzard. However, this can change once the game is released because right now, unranked doesn't have enough of a player pool to justify splitting them up in two.

I actually like it this way, because then I know exactly the kind of skill level I will be playing when I'm ready to check the box for ranked games. However, there is a chance that a ranked player could be matched with an unranked player and take an easy win because the unranked player just doesn't care.


and there in lies the problem.

with each new hots beta wave, ive experienced players who literally dont even give a shit about actually testing the hots units, just getting high on ladder as if they playing wol. ive been pool rushed, pylon blocked, and some guy even cannon rush. then of course theres those protoss players that just do the normal 2 base all ins, zergs who have baneling busted me, the list goes on.

anyways, the point is most of those games i just quit instead of wasting of my time, because being unranked, it doesnt matter shit to me regarding a loss. but then those players are ranked, and they get points for me quitting.

so basically the entire ladder will become a clusterfuck and have absolutely zero meaning.



I will cheese based on scouting, if I have a opportunity I will take it. Its not a real good test if you are trying to be greedy to get to the mid game point to use new units. The game needs to flow there naturally for a good test.

Otherwise make a custom map that has both sides at 10 minutes in with 2-3 bases.

well the buttons look prettier but they're no substitute for features and sensible chat windows. At least theres room now should they decide to listen to the feedback this time.

This is pretty awesome. While originally thought unranked might be a little useless to me, if you have an MMR in unranked, that could be very useful for working out builds or off-racing with out trashing your rank.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

I'm sure a blizzard dev have already announced that they are actively working on clan/team support for hots.

It might just be division rank, but when Cloaken was asked about it on Reddit, he said:

Coming soon! (like more info next week)


So they might be rewarding players for actually PLAYING, instead of just winning.

It certainly looks like a huge improvement over what we have right now. It makes a little more sense why the UI for all the non-arcade parts actually got worse with the patch now.
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.
