How could it possible work for the average Joe (ladder player) ? 1) You get disconnected from a ladder game. 2) Reconnect 3) Find opponent, hope he's still on, hope he's not currently busy, and then hope he's nice enough to want to restart game rather than taking a free win 4) Restart game. Im sure this will be limited to custom games, not ladder 1. you're playing with your friends 2. a big end of game battle ensued and you make a mistake 3. after the game you think, I should've done this instead of that before HotS 4. well we'll never know after HotS 4. contact your friend and ask him to replay from the point before the battle 5. try your theory 6. now we know | ||

No point in buying a game if you're just gonna whine/moan/bitch about it after the fact. You bought the game as is, so why bitch now? Did you walk into w/e u bought WoL pissed off giving them your money? You knew there was no lan/clan support etc when you originally bought WoL. So if so, why did you even bother to buy it? So you could "have the right" to bitch about it afterwards??? They could have just said meh, fuck it no free patches. They don't have to do shit after the fact, just like how Heinz doesn't have to come refill my ketchup bottle every time it empties. Your capitalism argument is just plain stupid. You weren't anywhere apart of who I was responding to. So if you're going to try and be cute, be original son. Come up with your own shit instead of copy/paste/change 1 word. Well, I did not buy WoL for those very reasons (among other flaws of the game). Does that make your argument invalid? I bet you're gonna say I'm not entitled to criticize blizzard now since I did not pay for WoL. Then who is? People have been blizzard's faithful customers for 10-15 years, they have every right to complain when they release a game with half the features of their previous titles... | ||

Besides, I know BW didn't have unranked MM, but as far as I remember, playing unranked games were as much fun as ladder ones so I don't really see the problem. Unranked MM can be actually good for ladder, as it will bring competitive players, leaving casual ones to play custom games or unranked. Well there will be effects on ladder from availability of unranked MM. From my POV, the most likely effect will be a bit of decrease in games(and probably more refined play on ladder). Another possibility would be for a good player to decrease his MMR and then go on killing spree in unranked MM, making the game less fun for lower leagued players(although it can be done on ladder, the player needs to give lower leagued players free wins to keep his MMR low). A potential effect would be that ladder anxiety increases and a big portion of the community just plays unranked MMR rather, since they don't want to fx. drop down a league. There are tons of things that can go wrong, Blizzard just needs to implement it very carefully to prevent it, because most of it is just the social aspect/how the players persieve things. | ||

I don't see of these as problems. If less people play on ladder, how is that a problem? It will just make the ladder more competitive. One way to fix players dropping MMR in ladder games to lock in a low MMR for unranked games is to have a separate MMR for unranked games that initializes to the ladder MMR. Alternatively, use the maximum of the ladder MMR and the separated unranked MMR for unranked games. | ||

So if for some crazy reason u don't want HotS then u still get these features. | ||
