I genuinely laugh at people that can stay 5 monthes without even noticing the bug and then scream because Blizzard takes 2 weeks to fix it. | ||

Having briefly worked in the industry, I'm perfectly willing to believe that fixing this particular bug involved little more than changing a few numbers, and took almost no time at all. Scheduling a patch has significantly more overhead since you need approval from management, need to schedule downtime if needed etc, so doing a patch for a single bug isn't worth it unless the bug is really severe. | ||

It can also be a much deeper issue that needed a fair amount of work and testing. Judging from how fast it was done, probably not too deep though. People seem to think that "fixing" things in sc2 is super easy. "Common blizzard, fix protoss". "Fix e-sports". "fix WCS". "Fix mech". "Fix this bug". As if it could be done in half an hour, but they choose not to do it. I don't know the details of this bug, but I get a bit worked up by everyone assuming it is trivial to "fix" everything, when they actually don't have a clue about what is actually needed. | ||
