Cool,

SC2 still has the best 1v1 matchmaking system ever. It always puts you up against someone of similar skill or better

If this allows you to get custom models at higher levels, I will be so happy! Either way, I think it's a great way to get casuals to keep playing while not adding in micro transactions.

i couldn't care less about the xp system, but I guess it's kinda nice for the "casuals". (I'm a casual e-sport fanatic!)
first we make expand, then we defense it.

I am casual gamer. I dont play the game often (several hours in the week). I am still in master and I would like the team spend his time to improve design of the game (for all races), balance units etc.




I'm in the same boat as you, I'm also in Masters. I play maybe once or twice a week and I haven't touched 1v1 for months.

If the game was more fun I would play it, I could give less of a shit about an XP system. I play for fun, not for a false sense of progression.

Blizzard should be spending their time making the game more fun for everyone.

People don't understand they're basically copying Dota 2's reward system.

LOL Blizz, other changes would be better...
I don't hope that there will be a trend from SC2 players to leave to Dota 2 / or LoL

Please bring some usefull updates.

I think a way to customize your profile more than just a portrait, maybe with a description would really add to the casual experience. Also, we should be able to see more than just Name--> Portrait before a game. I'm thinking like the Cod- experience again, I apologize, but it can be done here. Decal for your name, skins for units, truly humongous selection of profile portraits, things like that. Right now the appeal is only to a very hardcore, elite audience, though it's been successful still since this community is so good with its new players.

Don't really care, as long as it doesn't change the gameplay or screw up the UI then I'm fine with basically anything.

Is that necessarily a good thing?

At least Blizzard is trying to take an initiative and come with interesting ideas. Not sure how I feel about it yet but can't wait to try it soon.


It's a great thing to copy the most succesfull and profitable game in the world.

hahaha, just like medal of honor.

Wow. You guys think that this is taking up thousands of hours of their time? If they didnt do the little things people would bitch that the game felt empty and had no substance. You CANT spend your entire time balancing the game. Want to know why? Because new ideas and new data that you can analyse is not constantly available and it takes time for a change to be seen in the beta even after it is made as people adjust to it.

TLDR: STOP WHINING. They can't spend all day balancing the game.


This community is so fricking stuck up and high on itself sometimes. "We want this and we want that." Funny thing is TL does not represent every player out there by a long shot. MANY people simply enjoy 4v4 or the other matchups but someone mentions that on here and they get crapped on by 90% of the 500 GM's that are apparently on TL. Just because they make a change that is not directed directly at you does not mean they are wasting their time.

I want to say that Blizzard is doing an awesome job regarding the comunication between them and the community.

I mean, the game designer is posting daily on the US forum. I don't think that other companies do this.

Thank you Blizzard.

This is a great addition and I don't understand why so many people are bitching about it.

This is a great way to help get friends into SC2 if they've never played the game or RTS in general before. Along with other rewards (what do they mean race-specific? Different decals or actual different rewards) they're promising epic. I don't think they mean flashy portraits, I think it's more along the line of unit models or other cool unlockables.

Quit whining and appreciate the makers for once.

I'm also in masters right now, I play every now and again, I haven't had a lot of time recently though.

However any system like this just adds extra incentive to play the game, maybe you wont like it, but other people will.

The biggest issue there is with SC2 right now is it's not very casual friendly, you feel lonely on battle.net, you feel no sense of progression and eventually just get bored and stop playing.

This is a good addition, and just so you guys know, the people who do the balancing of the game is not the same people who do things like this.

I don't think this detracts from the game just adds to it so I'm game. Leveling is always fun
