For the most we don't actually. The only thing LAN would improve upon ,if we had resume from replay, is latency. Whether that should be implemented is a completely different discussion in and of itself..

I wonder if the unranked matchmaking will have it's own MMR and invisible rank that fluctuates as if you are on ranked ladder? Would be strange if I have to play some ranked matchmaking in between my unranked in order to practice against people that are better/worse.

Well, at least its confirmed they'll do it. Now is a matter of if it'll be available on launch date. Still, very good for Blizzard to finally address this issue...

One of the reasons I only play Blizzard games

This is great, with the exception of lan this is almost all of the features that the community has desired. I am really happy to see that blizzard has been listening to the community. Now if they will only save the carrier.

I feel like a kid locked in a candy store... i can die happy now ='D

Judging by the responses, you can see why they left all of this out of the first one.
|
I mean, they'll find some way to mess it up.
In all seriousness, those look like awesome changes. It only took years of complaining=P

"resume from replay"... does that mean that if the game crashes people can pull up the game and restart from a certain point?? thats huge for gaming. so they can resume games that crashed :O

Yep, that's exactly what it's supposed to do. What also becomes possible is taking pro replays and playing out the game from a certain point with a buddy :D

Damn, I wish they had unranked ladder play when sc2 first came out. Many of my friends stopped playing due to ladder anxiety. Not sure if the expansion is enough to bring them back now....

BOOM goes the dynomite. Blizzard! You do care after all :D

I had a blast doing that with BW, really hammers home the APM differences >.>

I would assume it would. I mean, a casual bronze player might start feeling frustrated after continuously losing against players leagues above him.

I for one appreciate what Blizzard is doing in adding these features and at least trying to listen to community feedback. Sure, these changes could have been made in a more timely manner and I understand some people's frustrations, but I'm willing to give a little leeway for the fact that Blizzard is a business and a large one at that, and so it made be a little hard to do things efficiently. Thank you for what you are doing, Blizzard!

I retract my statement about not buying HotS.

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. Jesus christ... Some people just can't be happy about things for once in their life...Just be happy 
I'm sorry, I can't be happy knowing people are screwing me over and will continue to screw me over. You can be happy with the trinkets people throw at you, but i'm more intrested in the over all content.

The community has been heard.
I predict that LotV will revert all units and gameplay back to Brood War, to prove once and for all that Blizzard listens to what the fans are asking for. We'll learn that the entire SC2 storyline was just Raynor's dream. You heard it here first, folks
