If we really get all this at launch, then its a buy.
I was gonna buy HotS anyway tough, but not at launch.
Now its @ launch if all these are there on release!

I will believe it when I see it on the server. Until then, will wait and see.
EDIT forgot to add, I flat out refuse to buy the expansion until I can play with my friends internationally so hopefully "at our around release" isn't some PR speak for "whenever we get around to it"

So this is the new way of making expansions. The producers strip features from the original game that should be there on launch and give them to the thankful fans in an expansion, suddenly shinning a good light on them for how good they listen to the community.

If they're going to implement the unranked ladder then they should let us see our losses/total games played on the ranked ladder again. The whole point of their removal was so that people would ladder with less fear of losing... and that won't be necessary anymore.

All these features are great, and the only stuff that will still be missing are more stats!

Blizzard stepping up LIKE A BOUSE!
There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying till you run out of cake.

Kind of agree with this. All these functions are nothing new and should be there from start. DOTA 2 has more features but I think the programmers of Valve (and also of RIOT games) are just a bit better than the ones that Blizzard has I suppose. Blizzard should hire some of the programmers that these 2 companies have tbh.

omg... haters... why are you even here? If you hate this game so much, then why bother reading through long threads about what you hate?

I hate balette. Luckily, my life isnt so pathetic that I'm posting on ballette forums complaining about how misserable I think ballette is...

Just smart business sense from Blizzard.

I LOVE the unranked MM.

They really need to fire the guy who came from xbox live or w/e who designed bnet

Also no custom game support still?
Custom games is an absolute shambles right now

This is obviously amazing news and not only that they are fixing and improving shit but that these improvements are very esports focused which is another great sign from Blizzard, adding to that all the recent changes they have been making to the ladder map poll and their own giant world championships and it's easy to see how much focus Blizzard has started to put on esports.

Of course we wouldn't be a community without our whinge bags that have to complain about the best news in Esports history... This will take battle.net far beyond that of battle.net 1 despite what old fanboys might want to believe.

Of course the community is overall very positive and showing blizzard a lot of support for doing the right things. Personally I would prefer to have multiplayer resume from replay instead of lan as computers still crash and lan networks can fail!

It's not about hating the game. It's about hating battle net. Before it's launch, we were promised a "revolutionary community platform" but what we got was a half-finished mockup. Now they release what should have been there to begin with and pretend they didn't know it should have been there to begin with, passing it off as "paying attention to the community".

It's infuriating.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

That hate is, to some extent, understandable. (even though I dont understand how it can be soooooo "infuriating"...)

However, if you quickly read through this thread, you'll find loads of examples of people who actually despise this game. To me that is just incomprehensible...

Why do people keep bitching about it? You would have bought Hots anyway.
What do humans know of our pain? We have sung songs of lament since before your ancestors crawled on their bellies from the sea.
