Wonder though how the randoms will practice  guess it depends on what you want, 1 hour wait time to practice or quick practice games. Either way since they are unranked, people will simply leave games till they have their map or their matchup, will be annoying as hell lol. Wonder how they are going to make sure this doesn't happen. Probably a cooldown of 10 minutes or so. | ||

Still, the unrank matching and view replay with others will be cool | ||

But then again, like you said I will leave the game instantly if it isn't the matchup I'm hoping for | ||

Just my opinion. In what way did blizzard support BW in recent years, though? Having a couple of hacker ridden servers that only a few people still play on? Releasing patches that created new problems instead of fixing the existing ones? Threatening the Korean scene and making it abandon BW in the long run? BW could do without such support. | ||

Developing nice maps like steppes of war and incinetation zone, and making that facebook implementation stuff that nobody cares about, while having no clue what the community reallye wanted (really want chat channels?) hahaha.... god I remember that facebook integration shit. I don't know ANYONE on sc2 or on fb who has actually used that. What useless garbage that was. In a way though, looking back at early WOL and beta gives me some hope. What makes blizzard different from a lot of other game studios is that they continue supporting their products tenaciously even after the market is relatively saturated. Ignoring the upcoming features, blizzard has already taken WOL from an imbalanced pos well below average RTS to a really fun game and a legitimate e-sport. | ||

Probably a cooldown of 10 minutes or so. Should definitely just make it searchable by matchup and map, there's a whole lot of reasons they should do it and not a whole lot why they wouldn't. As far as random players, they can play random on ranked ladder and practice 1 of their races at a time in unranked, won't be a huge deal for them as they need to play all 3 anyway. | ||

I have not see any company that charges for their own patches... If so, do tell. Anyways, this is fucking awesome! Finally they have told the community what they will do for HoTS and it is what we all wanted. Browder said they could not add LAN due to the engine, so if you want LAN wait 4 years for LoV (it is not going to happen, but i hope lag will deteriorate in the coming years... and i think he said it when Catz was interviewing him last year). Clan support and Unranked ladder is just damn great! Can't wait for HoTS! Thank you blizzard for listening to what the community wants! I'm not actually really sure I will buy Hots anytime soon, because Starcraft 2 is still a beta game,with all these functionalities lacking, the sad thing is that there are blind people that don't understand that even if in beta state it is sold as a complete game. No wonders that blizzard became like that, wanna bet with me hots will be sold for 60€, not just as a mere expansion? And blizzard fanboys will start saying "ehhhh that's a huge new game you are just a pathetic worthless piece of life if you don't see how good blizzard is on delivering us what we wanted". Yes, delivering a new game to complete a beta game. And milking out people' wallet, and people still don't understand it, how fools they are, they just trust in Blizzard..... I hope not to be the only one that is able to see what Blizzard is doing... Making games with half the features they should have to have people ready to buy the day one the expansion. Great marketing, nonetheless, because poeple still fall for it. But I hope that when there will be an alternative to starcraft 2( if there will never be), I will be the first to abandon blizzard's ship | ||

Really? You consider this a beta state? Tell me, what other "complete" games are you playing and what beast of a software engineer you are to consider this a beta? Some people act like every scrub developer could put out a game of this magnitude. BNet doesn't have some features you want? Okay, what does this have to do with "beta" status? | ||

Wonder though how the randoms will practice RvR for all eternity and become cheese-proof to all 3 (eventually revealed) races, with death-staring eyes and a hardened mind. That or suicidal intent  | ||
