It is amazing how many people you can make mad by adding a feature they want to have.
It's just people letting go of their frustration on the matter, after much voiced disapproval at the lack of such features existing from the beginning.
People eventually fade out until it finally gets fixed and then when complaining, they are in a way intending to thank Blizzard for putting it in, but have a stronger desire to stick a flag in the developers' eyes, one that says "SO WHY NOT HAVE THIS FROM THE START?".
It's justified.

You gotta love all these selfproclaimed experts on everything that somehow always show up in TL-threads... disgusting.... Blizzard company is giant, they have tons of resources, but they're implementing such small features (replay resume, replay scroll, replay control) every year? I think, they can more, I believe. Yeah, Blizzard can do more, but they don't want, if anyone already loves them. Especially when there is no competition. If there is no competition, then it becomes stale. Only when Blizzards will have "enemy" which can do something better at RTS making, only then Blizzard will do more. Right now there is no reason to do more. You do realise that Dota 2 replays kinda suck and there are no LoL replays. Thats right, no LoL replays. They have the best replay system out there, better than any other game. Yet for some reason people think Blizzard is slacking. The Dota 2 replay system seems good to me. It might be lacking some features like APM tracking but overall it seems decent, I don't really have any problems with it. so u dont have the problem that u cant view the replaye immediatley after a match? when i want to know what excatly happened last game i have to wait like 10 -15 min before i can watch it, after that time i have already lost interest in watching the replay
Yeah good point, that's always annoying and I hope it gets fixed

This would be a nice little change

Awesome! Reviewing replays will be easier now.

So replay seeking was a big hoax, it just fast forwards while the screen is blanked out  .

Maybe that's what actually happens and there was no editing for that part....hopefully?

i bet they still don't fix the zerg bugged egg hatching sound that happens every egg that hatches -_-
this was literally the needle on the haystack that resulted in me taking a break from SC2 lol
That bug is quite annoying, having to ctr+s your sound on and off fixes it but having to waste time doing that is distracting.

hopefully it's a bug? if it's intentional it's the stupidest change ever.

yea its like fastforwarding *8 but with a black screen

I did kind of expect the seeking function to be a bit quicker. Maybe that was my mistake for not having the technical knowledge to see how that was possible - I don't mean to rain on their parade, either, but it really didn't look that much more effective than just x8ing to the end, grabbing a snack and then seeking at my leisure.

It's far more effective than just running through at 8x speed. The screen goes blank so all the processing power goes towards simulating the game as fast as possible instead of spending resources on graphics. So instead of running at 8x speed it will run at 1000x speed.
You'll still be able to jump forward in the replay and it will only take a few seconds. I don't get what people are so mad about.

And by "all the processing power", we mean "2 cores, max".

Called it 
Seriously though, this is the most elegant solution for how they store replays. They would have to store their replays in a different format to make something better.
