People that criticize others always seem to do exactly what they're complaining about.

P.S. bug is fixed

That's nothing. Once I had the page open for about 8 hours, I think my reply ended up on page 10 or something like that.

Will you please show me where Blizzard explicitly mentioned this in the patch notes? From what I could see, they mentioned it ambiguously at best.
...
the method of performing it was not widely known.

The EXACT method THAT WAS USED was not widely known, but the exploit itself, and how it can be done was extremely widely known.
The issue was not just with warping in immortals, but casting NP/FG while burrowed, researching ulralisk speed, researching infestor burrowed speed, researching roach burrow regeneration, researching burrow at evolution chamber, casting frenzy, casting phase shift, and some other things.

All those abilities weren't removed from the unit's ability list (the unit being the production/research building in many cases). The only thing they did was remove the buttons to use the abilities. This is very different than disallowing the ability to be used at all.

Fixed an issue that, in certain cases, allowed a command to be issued that did not appear on the command card

That is the patch note that fixed the problem. It's worded somewhat incorrectly though, since non-command card abilities can still be cast (for instance in custom games), it's just they removed the abilities from the units all together.

And as I said, it has nothing to do with internal testing nor the programming team or w/e. This isn't OMG OBSCURE UNFORSEEABLE BUG, I'm surprised this isn't happening more frequently with the way SC2 gameplay databases are set up (very sloppily).

I can give you a lot of examples with really stupid setups. Basically because I've been working with the editor a lot recently :/.

I love reading comments by people so arrogant they think they can run a billion dollar company or develop multi-million dollar games better than those doing it now. But I believe him, because he's been working with the map editor a lot recently.

User was warned for this post
