I'm ready for people to post "I'm XXXX in masters league and I think that it's ok to not scout".

Meh, all this does is make MC's victory more set in stone, as this patch is an all around protoss buff and Terran nerf. Rain is going to be rolled.

Regardless of the patch notes the better player will win, as always.

I'm excited for a more social starcraft hopefully I'll get promoted quicker now that people are getting put into masters/gm league.

Blizzard would be stupid to wait unless they wanted to wait 3 or so weeks. This impacts the tiniest fraction of players if you're worried about GSL. Im sure blizzard is just making a killing off of e-sports (im doing a huge jack off motion with my hand right now you just cant see it).

Think of it like this... there was a time where in World of Warcraft a real competitive community existed. Over time, despite the competitive community crying the loudest, they nerfed the game into oblivion and took away the challenges to cater to the masses. Though your complaints dont fall on deaf ears, try to view it from a business perspective.

Do you
a) release a patch a few days before christmas, probably with many staff members unavailable if problems arise

or

b) release it with some buffer time so that during the holidays the server can maintain themselves a bit.

Or how about this... what do you think is worse to them?
a) impacting a small amount of players with the innopportune timing

or

b) having a significant amount of players with alot of free time due to the holidays, unable to play their favorite game because they dont have the personnel available to deal with problems that seem to always accompany patch release.

How much time do they even have between GSL seasons? It seems like these things are always running. You can't expect a company to accommodate some third party all the time with no financial return. Do you honestly think anything they make off of the competitive gaming scene comes close to being worth making poor business decisions?

Its unfortunate, but blizzard, like all companies, is a living, breathing organism.. .its going to look after itself first.

The balance patch changes so little I don't see it being an issue. The biggest change was to VR (how many GSL games have you seen people getting the speed upgrade or using them to counter Thors?) and ramp blocking, with the SCV targeting and a few other changes which are simply good all around at removing randomness from the matchups.

EDIT: And Rain will get stomped no matter what, even if they buffed the shit out of Terran he doesn't stand a chance.

Well since I am switching from Terran to Protoss I say release it immediately. Rain will lose anyway so it will not change anything. Terran cannot compete with Protoss and the patch will not change that, just rub it in a bit harder.

Custom hotkeys are much more important to me than a GSL matchup that is decided before it is played.

Please stop posting, thanks. Simply idiotic.

Selfishly, I would like the patch asap but the e-sports shill in me wants Blizzard to wait till after this weekend. Kind've win-win I guess?

if this is true, so much for fuckin blizzard giving a shit about their players and the community. They say one thing, then come the patch, we find out that it's a few days before a huge gsl match. -_-

It seems to change. Sometimes US is first, sometimes Korea, sometimes Europe. Seems random
When I think of something else, something will go here

If they wait for this tournament, they'll have to do so for every other tournaments, and it would be a pita to patch the game.

At the moment, patch > tournament imho.



This, because if Blizzard decided to wait, 1000+ topics would spring up that "Blizzard only cares about Korean tournaments", "Blizz hates foreigners omg" and "Blizz would never postpone a patch for a EU/US tourney!" and other such nonesense.

Basically whatever Blizzard does, the large part of the community has shown they will never be happy about it, so they might aswell just dive right into what they want to do.


I support this point of view.

The majority of people will definitely moan about whatever choice Blizzard takes.
If Blizzard considers this Patch to be more balanced than the previous there should actually be no reason not to patch now.

Now whether the patch actually IS more balanced is another story. And of course the timing is rather bad but then again GOM decided to wait a ridiculous amount of time before starting of the finals.

Edit:
And yeah Shockks point is true as well.
Sorry hyper-competitive SC2 scene but it's still a gaming company with customers. Take a guess how many of those SC2 customers care about GSL? A rather low percentage. So that's another factor.


Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. We have been complaining about chat channels, balance and all that jazz for months. When the hell did Blizzard even listen to us? And what the hell does it mean that SC2 @ GSL is too small? These guys PAY to see SC2. Don't they matter more than us freeloaders? And since when is it that small? Do you know how many pay for that crappy premium GOM stream for the GSL?

And let's say they cared. Let's say they really were worried about angry trolls on forums, shouldn't pay more attention to something which has actual money on the line like $130,000 worth rather than a bunch of angry gamers? What, are they gonna say GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK!

Really. They need to delay balance patches. Something that could cost someone nearly 80,000 matters a whole lot more than forum flame wars.



except when you buy starcraft 2 the only thing that gives you is a right to play the game, not the right to win money. blizzard wouldnt owe crap
