This actually infuriates me. Global play? I've bought 3 accounts on different regions, now over 120 dollars will be pissed away because blizzard finally decided to do the logical choice? Guess i'm a fool. Now we've been promised clan support for how long and other features, instead of giving it to us in a timely fashion they think it's fine to dump it in their expansion which we're all expected to pay for. Lastly i'm quite sure ladder will be a terrible experience being split in half with this unranked match making system, unranked really makes no sense to me. I'm very quickly losing faith in what Blizzard is.

Best Blizzard announcement about SC2 since SC2's release in my opinion...

I hope they actually follow through with these promises. Seems like HoTS is going to have a lot to offer!

They are saving you moneeeeeeeeeeeeeey. You would have had to buy HOTS 3 times if they didn't implement it. Stop complaining without using your brain for 5 seconds.

ya, how dare someone be mad at spending that much money just to play where they want. Can't please everybody.

Nice to see blizzard holding out on features to sell us in an expansion though. Pretty shrewd, but at least it's going to be in game.

I mean, I like everything but the unranked matchmaking thing. I have worked hard to get to where im at now. It would be disappointing to see that none of that matters because a few people hate losing on ladder and seeing their rank go down.


No worries, everything indicates that unranked matchmaking will be optional, and that ranked MM will still be there. The unranked MM will simply give you opponents around your skill level based on your ranked MMR.

However, the number of casual ladderers who will switch over to unranked matchmaking only will likely cause the overall skill level in each division to raise (because only the more hardcore players will still ladder) resulting in low diamonds becoming high plats, high plats becoming low plats, etc.

I suppose it'll make master's mean that much more.


Most likely, unranked match players will still be playing against regular ladder players.


I doubt it, that seems too easy to exploit.

I'm hoping that they'll do the right thing and roll out those features separately from the actual HotS product.

Doesn't really help those that already purchased multiple SC2 copies, but it's something.

Of course, I'm not holding my breath for any of these features, half of them were supposed to be released with Wings of Liberty or in a patch shortly thereafter...

Holy shit....... they actually listened? Maybe there's still some of the old Blizzard left in them after all. Still, think of all the players they would've kept around if they had bothered to do this for WoL. It's a shame it took them nearly 2 years to implement basic features. It might be too late for many.

Classic, shit we shouldve got for free but have to pay for.

Good nonetheless I guess.

this type of attitude kind of irks me to be honest. yes you have to pay for it now, yes you had to wait, but its not like they are making you pay for the service any further like WoW. make the best of what you have.

it's like blizzard read all of my posts and just fixed EVERYTHING that i found wrong with starcraft 2, blizzard is so awesome right now!!
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Unranked matchmaking will split the community into two factions. 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.


that's not gonna happen. what i'd like to see in unranked game is a feature that allows me to choose my matchup. this way i could prac say zvp for an entire day and work on dif builds etc.

These features should've all been available upon release (save perhaps resuming from replay, though if drops didn't happen for no reason it wouldn't be needed as much.) Thanks for making bnet slightly less worse. Now get rid of auto-scroll on chat boxes (when now entries are made) so I can actually read stuff as I wish. That is soooo annoying.

This is tough, I think you have every right to be infuriated. I really wanted an EU account but refused to purchase one on principal because fuck Blizzard, I shouldn't have to buy the game again. I'm sure there will be nothing you can do, but I'd love to see how they respond to a question from individuals like yourself, and what Blizzard will do to make it up to them. It'd put them in a tough spot since in reality the answer is "nothing."

edit: People, please stop praising blizzard. They are making "improvements" that are all basic things that should've existed over 2 years ago.

Holy balls, this is a nice set of changes. What are they waiting for? Bring it on, Blizzard!
