Ok so in custom games the old previous patch changes seem random. I haven't been able to find a trigger for them yet.

So far I've had khaydarin amulet and reaper speed before factory. I've heard of people getting 1 supply roach and not needing to upgrade concussive shells.

As a competitive player that isn't interested in the arcade, this patch basicly made everything go slower for me:
- starting up the game
- browsing trough profiles
- minimizing
- watching replays

What they did right is the apm and epm switch.

Exactly same thing here. I am not interested in Arcade and the rest of SC2 is now much slower. Not nice.

i'm also having ms of lag everytime a new unit is built for the first time, and when an enemy unit comes into my fog of war. AA is turned off, and i've reverted to low settings and the problem remains, even though i played on ultra before, never dipping below 70fps. something about the optimization is just wrong. ATI card.

Going all WW2 mode on the player profile page was a really bad decision in my opinion. It's horrible now to look up someone's w/l rates, league ranks, etc. Even your own stats are burried under weird submenu's. All this while 50% of the player profile pages are just background with no info displayed, at all.

Well, not only(competitive) MP is slower. SP will have streaming data, which actually makes a SSD worthless now =)

A couple things I noticed in 2 games on daybreak LE custom:

slowverlords :/ couldn't scout gas safely in zvz, OL was late to check on expo in zvt.
no larva displayed in the units tab when viewing the replay.
short range on queens.
2 supply roaches. I wanted to see what a 1-supply roach max looked like, but no luck getting that to happen

Where can I find the "manual updater(?)" ? The thing that you used to patch war3 and diablo2. Because I can't patch it by simpy starting SC2 because I get a run time error ....

Well, I like it. A few extra clicks doesn't bother me much at all, although I suppose if you're into being ultra efficient with your time, it must be annoying.
I think it looks nicer in general, I like what they've done with the open custom games thing too.

This patch really makes me realise how awesome the previous version (the version before this patch) was... It was so simple and clear.

Playing Custom Game in EU against AI. I need depot before rax, so I guess it's ok..? (Tried both from Arcade and Custom games).. Gotta play some more to see it really (upgrade costs and so on to make sure)

I'm not really liking the new interface...it seems uglier. I felt that the overall design was sleeker before.

Personally I don't play custom games, so arcade just gets in the way for me. But I'm pretty sure others play them so just a personal preference.

The fog of war is terrible. They should revert that.

I would also prefer the 1v1 button on the left then between 2v2 and FFA. Kind of confusing.

And yes, it does get quite hot on a Macbook Pro compared to last patch. Idk what's up.

What are tournaments going to do in the next week? With customs reverting to some as-yet unknown balance patch it'll be really hard to host a credible tournament if everyone is expecting to play the current ladder version.
