This is pretty cool! A nice feature to help get more people to try out HotS!

I wonder why Blizzard doesn't check the success of games like Dota2 and League... Why not make SC2 free to play and open a store much like the one in Dota2 where you can buy skins (e.g the dark zealot skins for protoss) and so on, buy decals, buy portraits or whatever. They'd probably make more cash out of it in the long run and they would attract so many more players.

I have countless of friends who refuse to buy Starcraft as it's quite expensive, especially when there's good and fun free games to play. What student or low incomer, except hardcore Starcraftfans, would BUY Starcraft when they have the option to play moba games for free?

Meh.

EDIT: Just need to clear this up: I am not whining that Blizzard charge people to play the game. I willingly paid for all the starcraft games as I am a huge fan. The reason I'm sad is because Starcraft could have been so much bigger and there could be so many more players.

What's quite funny though is that those f2p games fans usually spend a lot more than what sc2 currently costs. Or that's what i read from most LoL forums where people say they already spent well over 100€ on the game.

That being said unit skins for multiplayer... ugh, wouldn't like that. Unless there is an option to always show default skins.

I thought this was about restricting spawn locations on ladder maps, but this is good too.

Because Mobas are team games and Starcraft 2 is mainly a 1vs1 game. People just doesn't care that much about cosmetic stuff when you only play with one other person.

If you spawn a friend from WoL to HotS, do they have to play Terran or are they able to play any race?

Then why Spawning function only works with teams?

So i can play HOTS with my m8s that only have WoL now?

If so that's freaking amazing!
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Any race (also any maps), as long as he plays in your party.

No, spawned players have only Terrans

Next, they might bring back LAN. Nah. But this is a good step regardless.

This is a great change! It's a shame only terran is allowed, I think the incentive of being able to play games without your friends is enough to encourage people who can afford it to buy the game on its own. Hopefully that changes.

the HotS patches are already in your game files even if you only have WoL. I assume you can only ladder 2v2
