Or on the bad side, idiots can main on their own server and troll bronzes on the other two. Am I understanding this correctly? I think you will need to play placement matches on new server. I doubt it.. if someone is for example low master zerg on.. and he wanna learn toss..that we will be in bronze in eny region.., proably game will put him league lower , max 2 , but not more.. Maby this is a reason for me , to back play sc from dota2  , didint play even one sc 2 game for over month now and was playing from beta start , was waiting for HOTS , but maby now.. mhmm :D | ||

Unless they add server for cross regional play and improve their netcode it won't solve any of the issue concerning lag . | ||

Like, if I'm on the US west coast and have a decent connection (30+ mb/s) will I be able to play on KR without much lag? Bandwidth (download / upload "speed") can't change ping that much. Most games don't need that much. Bandwidth is just like how big a pipe transferring water between locations is. You can do things like download or upload faster because the pipe is bigger and transferring more water (if we're using the pipes transferring water analogy). However, with games (which needs constant updates), what matters is the distance (most games, even MMOs, don't use or need that much bandwidth). So yeah, the location does affect ping a lot (it's the main factor). As for whether you get lag or not? Well, if you play long enough, you might get used to the lag (*WC3 with its default min 250 MS delay for example >.>). I'd say there's probably 200-250 ms delay when playing on the KR server from US. | ||

People (like me :D ) already troll silver league on their main accounts, so this doesnt create this "problem" you speak of. Think of it this way, we just want the silver league kids to have a decent challenge lol. After all, the best way to improve is to play someone much better than you are  Anyway, this concept is really really old. I dont know anything about Bnet (thats why i said concept, not technology), but this kind of option to play anywhere in the world is in every other multiplayer online game that i currently play, and have played in the past. To be honest, anything "new" that comes to bnet will most likely already exist in many other games, so instead of jumping for joy for something "new", there should be a "fucking finally" response, just so blizzard doesnt get the wrong reception, and they get the one that they deserve. But, I am glad that changes are coming nontheless | ||

Or on the bad side, idiots can main on their own server and troll bronzes on the other two. Am I understanding this correctly? This is the freedom we wanted, it has its down sides. I've been asking my long time Singaporean friends to play SC2 for 2 years, but they prefer WC3 or WoW. At least they won't have the excuse of region locks after this patch. Cheers for Blizzard putting things back how they were. The freedom of old Bnet was apparently under appreciated by Blizzard. I see a lot of what Blizzard has done in recent years as giving people a place to play, with lots of ideological restrictions, as opposed to letting the people create their own boundaries. It's a weird philosophy I hope largely goes away, or is implemented a lot smarter in the future. Clans will be another welcome return. I can see how they might have thought people needed direction, and possibly some do, but it'll always be better for people to learn from each other, rather than have a guiding hand take them places that might not be what they wanted. It helps the social aspects. The second clan I ever joined on WC3 was in fact that long time Singaporean friend's clan. | ||
