It is always annoying to alt tab back to sc2 after idling and notice that someone messaged you and but you have no idea when. This also applies to chat channels. | ||

Statistics such as win-lose-tie, match-up specific win-lose-tie, map specific win-lose-tie (also mu&map specific), game lengths in different maps, etc. As they are not likely to show MMR / MMR moving average as numbers there could also be some kind of graphical indication how close to league borders your MMR moving average is (line with markers). Examples of different statistics are available e.g. from Blizzard's WC3 web-pages. Here is the 3rd of Europe 1v1 ladder (note statistics subpages were malfunctioning when I wrote this). Regarding league system, MMR & MMR moving average you can find more information from Excalibur_Z's guide. | ||

That's the only explanation that I can find, since it's just common sense the majority of things that we ask for, and we even do free for them the concept work... And I'm talking about this: http://imgur.com/a/oiqJP#0 | ||

Let me know if anything isn't user friendly or doesn't make sense (or if any links don't hook up right!). There's a weird link problem in the Tournament page that links you to a custom game lobby which I can't seem to fix, just click on the right side of the orange button for now  . | ||

That blizzard STILL hasen't done anything to improve the situations. When they first talked about bnet 2.0 I imagined something awesome, yet so many years later it's still some mediocre service | ||

Oh, and at the moment, on the bottom left of the screen I have listed recent players you've played (easy way to make new friends/block jerks) but I think it'd be cool if it rotated between a couple different views. What would you want to see there? Recent game stats, profile stats, last game info, etc.? | ||

SC2 is garbage and nothing compared to SC1 for that time, they already had the concept, most of the units, they just added few units and made a new Bnet with less options than its predecessor... And the only innovative things are not innovative for these days... I've actually gotten in contact with Blizzard about the UI and everything and I can tell you that they're absolutely AWARE of the topics about the UI and I believe this topic too. I contacted them through a ticket and a GM told me that they know about all this stuff. So maybe that will get some people a little more confident. Also, we get more information about HOTS on March 8 which is in two days (at least from what I've heard). | ||

Also, we get more information about HOTS on March 8 which is in two days (at least from what I've heard). That's great to know, since I as many others have spent around 50 bucks or more for this game, and also for those who love eSports, because we know that Starcraft is very relevant for the scene. But yeah they should show that they're on something, the impression for the player is that they forgot about SC2 while they're focused on Diablo 3, and that's not good. I remember Warcraft 3 days, where if you were ~3 months without playing, going back was like playing a different game. I'd been out of SC2 for 2 seasons and now the only different thing I find is a new official custom map which I bored after ~2 hours. In 2 years the only big improvements were chat channels and Grandmaster league that I can remember right now, but those are things that everyone expect to see in the launch anyway... I always said that we bought a beta/unfinished game, and well, we usually do it nowadays with all the games (I had the same sensation with SWTOR mmorpg), but my impression from Blizzard is like they don't really listen to the community and they just look for the money, not for making a good product like I felt it was with Starcraft 1 - Warcraft 3. I always think that a company should focus on making a good product and that way the money will come as a consequence. I hope all of this to change soon, because otherwise people could start to stop trusting on Blizzard, and that's not good for them and neither for their fans/players/customers. | ||
