Having not laddered for a couple of months now, i was appalled to see what blizz had perpetrated ... (when i glanced at exerts from patch notes (did blizz even mention it?)) worse thing since no lan  edit: i'll+ Show Spoiler + probably drop laddering altogether  why would you stop laddering just because you can't see your losses. Write that shit down, but don't threaten extremes. | ||

People who care about there ladder do so because they see it as a competition. Removing losses is like giveing every kid an A because you dont want to discourage people. People in bronze through diamond may be proud of the W/L ratio and removing losses takes something that they were proud of away from them. Also; Blizzard can see numbers on how many people are laddering. If people aren't laddering then they aren't likly to buy HotS or LotV which means blizzard loses money. By stopping laddering you can send a message to blizzard that if they dont change something then they will lose money which is all blizz really cares about (not saying this is a bad thing). | ||

Removing losses isn't something I approve, but everything claiming they're going to stop laddering is ridiculous. I wish you could AT LEAST see your own losses. Anyways, if people view ladder as competition then fucking compete. Don't worry about a win/loss, and like I said if people are really concerned about what their overall record is, or win %, get a notebook or google spreadsheet and keep track. | ||

I would just like to clarify that the Generate creep was still on, but the scouting Phoenix shot at the overlord and because it was not hold position command, it moved just a bit over the cliff, making it stop spewing creep. Sure it was still a blunder from Destiny to not have it on hold position, but he didn't stop the creep generation himself. Whether or not that played a part on Destinys demise is up to pros to decide. Atleast this is how it seemed on the stream, can't be 100% sure without the replay yet. | ||

Without a shadow of a doubt eh? And here we are with Inc one Bo3 against Mihai off of a Top 6 finish. At the risk of lacking subtlety; SUCK IT, SON. | ||

I personally love not seeing losses. I hate when I haven't played for a couple of weeks or if I'm drunk and want to play but doing so means I have to tank a bunch of losses and ruin my record. Not having losses displayed is awesome, I can handle losing points because you can always get them back. | ||

Your record is still being ruined, but now you can lie to yourself and pretend it's not happening. | ||

I highly doubt they both would be on at the same time either. | ||

Plus there is some drama between Huk and JP. I'm glad there isn't a SOTG tonight, things need to cool off after what happened yesterday and today. | ||
