On the unranked matchmaking, pseudo rules of how to play (ie. no rush, no "cheese", etc.) will develop and we will reach a point where ladder players will completely avoid unranked because he/she can crush the average unranked player and the unranked players will completely avoid ranked ladder because he/she simply cannot keep up with the ranked style of play. Might as well include matchmaking for fastest, monobattles, and desert strike. Nope, completely wrong. Literally everything you said was wrong. | ||

When this is your main issue with sc2, then the game is damn polished.  + Show Spoiler + even though I agree that from a security/programming point of view it is seems crazy sloppy. But tbh, does anyone crack passwords through brute force guessing these days? | ||

I cannot believe that they are finally giving us all of these things. They are really stepping forward for esports initiative. Blizzard has really fixed things in a way that is good for their visions of the game and for the player. That is what they always say they want to do, and I've had my doubts, but they always follow through. Really excited for unranked matchmaking. LOVE IT!!! <3 Blizz. | ||

Global Play - This is actually pretty cool. Multilanguage support - Doesn't affect gaemplay Clan/group system - Okay Unranked matchmaking - Longer waiting times? Why would anyone want this. We already have melees hosted on join game. This will be the same as "ranked" matchmaking, except you'll either only get pushover games or always get crushed. So pointless. Original ladder is for improvement anyway. Multiplayer replay viewing - People just watch together on skype anyway, this isn't a big deal either. Very unexcited. Overall, feeling negative about HoTS because there will be unranked matchmaking on top of having community split with WoL. | ||

You will not need HotS to access the features. HotS will be for the new campaign, new multiplayer units, HotS ladder. Now if they forced people to buy HotS for these B.Net 2.5 features...Does around mean after HotS? Good questions to ask Blizzard...off to the forums! Yeah, this will probably be like they do for the expansions for WoW, where many features get released for everyone and things like level cap and such are only for the people with the expansion. Judging for the list of features it seems that most of this stuff can/should be implemented for everyone. | ||

Now, to all you people saying that your multiple Wings of Liberty accounts will become obsolete after global play comes out... think about it: If it comes out with HotS, then it's irrelevant anyway as you would have had to buy multiple copies of HotS if it wasn't the case. If it comes out in WoL around the same time as HotS, then you'll likely be playing HotS anyway so it won't matter either. Point being: you're still getting value out of having multiple WoL accounts for the time being. To summaize: YAY! | ||
