Finally, I wanna play on Bifrost if possible! But I'm sure KeSPA wouldn't let Blizzard do that...

Well this map is on bnet, so what's the problem?

Is it even published on EU/NA servers?

I know for sure the kespa maps are published on NA because I've played them all. I don't have an EU account so idk about there

Wait, what?

Yeah this line makes absolutely no sense at all, and I think they know it. They are just trying to save some face for the decision. Anyone who might have been confused by strange start position rules before will still be confused afterwards. And in the vast majority of cases, newer/worse players won't even notice, they will just play as if all spawns are the available and will live happily ever after not knowing.


The best part was they already had Shakuras in the mappool which had spawn exceptions LOL.
Inno pls...

Though we will go into further detail at a later date, we are currently planning to make heavier use of popular tournament maps, refresh the map pool more frequently than we did in Wings of Liberty, and work closely with tournament organizations around the world in order to collaborate on map development.

Yes! This was probably one of my biggest concerns that went seemingly unaddressed going into HotS!

YES. That is the best news I have read from blizzard since patch 7 of hots. So happy for a better map pool
When I think of something else, something will go here

I agree, that is the bigger problem. Have it do more damage over time and remove the snare or keep the damage as it is and have it slow the targets instead (by 20% or something but not too much otherwise you're back to the same problem).

Blizzard team thinking everyone are nubs.

Also similar to the Diablo III phenomenon known as "why we even have an 'Elective Mode'" or "we can't give players choice because what if they tried using three armors or four mantras at once!!!!111 (despite tooltip clearly stating you can't!)" >.>.

Couldn't they just put in simple icons on the minimap at the start of the game indicating where you opponent can spawn? They could be removed after youve cleared the fog in the area.
Never Forget.

If they do this infested terran change, Blizzard, I implore you - lower the base damage/armor of IT and let the upgrades max out to the current non-upgraded one. I can't advocate having only one unit in the game not be affected by upgrades > . >
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

You know, out of all the people who care about sc2, only the very caring take the time to post in Teamliquid about SC2. I think you still care.


Regardless, all good changes... Better late than never.

What happened with Blizzard today? Why are they releasing all of these mini-announcements?

I'm nervous and somewhat scared by this... It seems very "un-Blizzard-like"... And doesn't something bad seem to always follow these slight happy times?

Hmmmmm

the "buff" for the Z were meant to address issues with PvZ according to them
and they did not realize it completely DESTROYED the TvZ match up which I believe, at the time of the patch was about at 50% so perfectly balanced..

I agree that there needs to be infestor nerfs because people started abusing it and massing it, but you are correct..
a good idea is to bring back the original queen range and remove overlord speed.

also, I'd like to point out..
does anyone remember the good old times when creep spread was actually something that only top notch zerg could do ? and there was artosis going crazy about the beautiful creep spread.
now, the average random master Z in my division has creep spread at my natural at the 13 min mark..
takes no skill to spread creep cause Z are all going 4/5/6 queens. Another minor nerf idea should be to reduce the radius of the creep spreading and as well that creeps to recedes faster when overlord/creep tumor are being killed..

Blizzard's "must keep casuals happy" policy is really obnoxious at times. They prefer having the ladder unplayable over adding the slightest complexity to the game. And well, easiest thing in the world to add: "close spawning positions disabled" as a tip during the loading of the map. Or they could add two new maps and two new vetos if you get to diamond league or higher, so that they can add more tournament maps for the people that care.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I hope that with their new focus on adding in tournament maps in HotS, they also are open to keeping more of their special "innovations" in the ladder versions, such as 6m1g bases, neutral creep blockers, and other interesting features. For example, maps like Tal'Darim and Daybreak were changed when they became ladder maps, arguably for the worse by changing 6m1g expansions into 8m2g expos and adding rocks to thirds.

Picture it like a congressman that wants to be elected. As soon as elections start to come closer, they start fixing things making speeches, doing things here and there. HOTS is about to be released in a few months, Blizzard wants to look like a good company so people will buy their products.
