All previous Blizz expansion betas have been closed beta. Wouldn't really expect this one to be different. I imagine the pros and popular streamers will get keys pretty quickly so we'll have no shortage of beta to watch and drool over. | ||

I would expect map makers to just make a UMS of all the beta units and buildings, so technically the beta will be an open beta anyway. You just won't have access to the HotS beta ladder. | ||

Well, they already have the HotS custom maps in WoL based on the Blizzcon build, so I would expect that beta UMS to not be that much of a stretch to implement assuming that the new abilities and/or mechanics aren't difficult to replicate in Galaxy Editor. | ||

Doesn't seem like they're rushing anything to me. think about how blizz normally does things, in comparison this is very much rushed hoping for a protoss harass unit in hots (that actually kills stuff, like all the zerg/terran harass units -___-) | ||

I'm surprised this thread hasn't rocketed to 100 pages by now with random hype posts. I think this is a relfection of how the community feels that it's about time this happened. So, not rushed IMO. | ||

Because they only want to create a product geared towards people masters and above amirite? The amount of elitism and ignorance in this post disgusts me. | ||

That's disgusting dude, stop treating it like sc2 is your game. It's everybodies game. I'm keen for them basing balance off of the professionals but it's people like you who generally make blizzard look the other way. I actually get better insight from alot of people diamond and below simply because they aren't socially retarded and can explain their thought processes, unlike alot of GMs who don't have good social skills. Don't get me wrong, there are some charismatic as hell GM players but quite a few of them simply don't have the social skills to give good feedback. Blizzard will balance the game the same way they did with WoL, and yes, the game is pretty balanced. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

The most recent patch only had the notable change of snipe being nerfed which mainly impacted terrans and Zerg players who went for Hive Tech. | ||
