The framepacing issue has been there since WoL beta and no improvements were made on that front I believe.
They use an engine which sits around and does nothing for about 50 milliseconds (so the CPU doesn't have much to do, you get a super high framerate) and then does everything for the game simulation in a single tick - which apparantly stops any new frames from being rendered while that's happening so we get a pronounced stutter in the animation.
All the engine improvements are put towards multithread optimization, better shading efficiency and maybe something minor I didn't notice.
With all of the simulation being done on 1 thread, there's basically nothing AFAIK in terms of multithreaded optimization that will actually make any real difference. I'm still seeing one core maxed and another at ~15-40% load. I actually have a funny picture from HOTS-era showing hardware usage.

Competitive settings - 8% load on a gtx770 that's not GPU boosted (so it's at stock reference clock speeds). One CPU core maxed, minor load on a second core (4770k@4.6ghz)
The game hasn't changed much (:

I think we might see them talking about it at Blizzcon, if it is coming. And my bet is on a Heroes/Hearthstone style ranking system.

Yeah if you use Alt+number to bind a group, the units in that group will automatically be removed from all other groups.

hmmmmm interesting insight.
i'd say 1/8 at worst and 1/20 at best of my wins are 15 second victories. people just quit.
are players intentionally taking 2 or 3 twenty second losses in a row to keep their rank down? if so the ladder supplies them a steady stream of "sparring partners".
if this is going on i don't think Blizz will solve it.

Why are they taking away FFA? WTF I love that format. I have 550/800 wins for the achievement with it and that's a really hard fought number to get to =\ Even as a high masters player who plays tons of FFA. This is a huge bummer and I hope that they will reconsider..

The reality is there aren't really a lot of people playing it.

Still don't see the point in completely killing it. Search times for FFA in War3 were also super long past some point, it's not a reason to prevent the few players who still want to play it from trying to find a game. I mean, what does it cost to maintain FFA in the matchmaking system? By force of circumstance, people who wanted to play FFA were already fully aware of the search times anyway

I have 80+ wins and even that took a while. my guess is they will make your highest achievement reached in FFA a Feat of Strength, like they did in Diablo 3 with all achievements that you could no longer be getting. so in my case, feat of strength "50 FFA wins", in your case "400 FFA wins"

The mode is still available in custom games, there's just not official ladder matchmaking for it any more. I see their point - people who want to play can still find people with an open custom game and even chat channels, the ladder had so few people that there was no reasonable way to match players by skill.
It's a shame to lose the achievements
