On the bright side, the release of 1.5 means that the HotS beta isn't very far away now, and with HotS comes many more improvements and features to Battle.net that will be applied for free to WoL as well.

Also, the game feels a bit laggier when I played it against AI on offline mode this morning. It stutters a bit more than it usually does pre-1.5. And I do agree that the layout does look a bit sloppy and rushed now.

However, the importance of improving the custom game interface, which was the big purpose of this entire patch, is not to be underestimated. Custom games were the lifeblood of BW and WC3, greatly elongating their lifespans at no cost to the customer or developer. Custom games will be vital to the lifespan of SC2 as well, and hopefully this revamp of the interface will help the UMS scene develop to it's full potential, especially with all the support Blizzard is giving to its powerful Galaxy Editor.

Awww shit the patch is a fail, can't believe this. You should sue Blizzard and ask them to buy you another mouse as this is clearly broken.

Actually this will detract some people from playing ladder because the 1v1 screen is no longer advertised as soon as you login; people who aren't thinking about laddering can now ignore that portion of the game entirely. Also the extra click, while seeming somewhat trivial on the surface, does make a difference for people who are less interested in 1v1ing. Consciously it might not, most people will probably tell you it doesn't affect them, but putting that little bit of extra time and effort of buttons to click and pages to load will subconsciously change people's perception of laddering at least a little bit, it will be a little extra annoying for them, and so oncce again those who are just that little bit less inclined to ladder may not bother with it anymore. /endrant

Oh yeah and on a completely unrelated note, I just noticed the Antialias button in the video options, from memory this wasn't there before as I had it unclicked and would not have if it were always there. Might be worth testing/seeing what effect it has on the graphics & framerate.
