Hello there, g'evening, g'nite and g'morning. Depending on where you are in the world reading this. Anyway we've had a lot of people saying a lot of things lately on the topic of SC2 needing help. From fixing balance, to changing UI this has been a hot topic of late.

Blizzard has a small really small team working on SC2 right now. So its really important they know what the community as a whole values the most, so they can get it fixed. From a pro players point of view, I know what is the most important to me. But what I can't know, is what the majority of people want from the game.

So please take a few minutes and THINK (like really think hard, if you are continuing to read after this sentence you should be stopped and thinking!) about the different things you'd want fixed. Here is an easy to use Poll that I'd love you to take part in. And if I missed something in the Poll you'd like to have me put up, please just let me know.

(Did you stop and think before you did the poll? I don't mind either way!)

Anywho I want to be able to show a clear list of what is most important to you. I probably accidentally left out a few things that are very important. Hopefully one thing stands out, or several things. If none of those are MOST important to you, then please post what you think IS. Please take just a second and share your thoughts, because in the grand scheme of things I want this game to keep getting better. And because it seems Blizzard wants to focus on one thing at a time, its important we give them something that you really want.

If you can't choose between two, then feel free to put them down. Maybe you think its perfect the way it is, your welcome to say that. If you give a frick, please click.

I think starting with the custom games and UI improvements would be the biggest thing they could do to help SC2 keep/restart growing. As a lot of people have said, unless you already know people playing SC2, it can be a lonely experience.

Good question Gremlin119!

The same reason we can't simply say we want all of these! Because Blizzard has only a super tiny group of people devoted to SC2 and fixing the issues we want. So while we can secretly want all of these, we must choose to fix only one. You now have the same disadvantage Blizzard has.

Wait... Why did you list name change for a price? Why not adding in multiple accts so name change isnt an issue like it has been with WC/BW?

The vote for LAN is in.

Though honestly I'd love to have name changes as well, just not for a price. Charging for that sort of thing is stupid.

Customs, when I'm tired and I don't want to ladder, why should I have to play another game to have fun?

I voted for "Allowing Global play and trying to fix the latency issue that is around". Although I truly want LAN more than any other feature, I don't see it ever happening at this point.

The pro scene is pretty much there already. We need a bigger casual player base. Although i have no idea how to achieve that haha

In Client Spectator and Tournament Promotion

Would this include Blizzard ran tournaments like Warcraft 3 had?

I went for more Tournament promotion in client as I feel the other things are already on the way. However I think that you would need to get more people into the client in the first place for It to be effective so I would also like to ask for a good demo mode for HoTS also, similar to the original SC demo which was awesome (for those of you who don't know it was a stand alone mini prequel campaign. Something like that on the actual in game client and with basic access to some form of Multiplayer like 2v2 etc could really help get people who are on the fence about SC or even people who would not normally be interested in buying SC to actually look again and give It a try.

Custom game thing. I don't have time or the persistence to try to get masters level or w/e in Sc2, and the only reason I still play the game is because I'll play team games with friends or monobattles or some shit.

Allowing Global play and trying to fix the latency issue that is around. (10)
Allowing you to watch replays with friends. (5)
Changing how ladder works and giving you more stats. (2)

These three are all announced as coming already, seems like a bit of a pointless exercise to just say "well...do these faster"

In Client Spectator and Tournament Promotion (13)

Not sure why this is lumped together, the in-client spectating is more interesting so I can watch my friends ladder or watch them play a team game rather than as another way to promote a tournament, if I wanted to watch a pro player or tournament I can already do this through a stream or a replay because most pro's have the capability and financial incentive to stream their games.

Good initiative Sheth, but there's some stuff lumped together that I think should be separated for clarity, and some stuff that's already officially on the way that seems pointless to get too up in arms about.

"Go Free to play" would also be an interesting option.
