good job on mentionning the very few players who did not quit haha, want me to list those who quit? it feels like you're being a bit delusional at this point, we all want starcraft 2 to be better, for more people to play it.... you clearly stated you don't give a crap if players don't enjoy the game, what you care about is enjoying watching those games

No because as I mentioned before, I don't care about them.

edit: In what way am I delusional? And I never said I don't care if players don't enjoy the game. I just don't think your idea that players will quit in droves will happen. If I am wrong, and these changes Blizzard implements will be the downfall of SC2 due to no one playing, than you can hold it over me until forever.

But until then, try to keep an open mind to these changes. Don't dismiss them because SC2 is too volatile; isn't BW; doesn't focus on macro; or whatever personal reason you have. And if you truly want to have an effect on it's development, play the test map. Give Blizzard feedback and let them know how you feel about the changes. Just don't try to lobby for changes that will never happen (e.g. back to BW)

i've quit playing SC2 at least 30 times in the past 6 years. when i get bored i quit. i don't think there is any magic formula Blizzard can come up with to make me never get bored. People on here make it sound like Blizzard owes them a lifetime of non-stop entertainment because they spent $140. They don't. Taking this attitude i'm a happier player. David Kim does not owe me happiness. That's up to me. For me the game is a hobby and when i get bored i just play something else.

I did watched nathanias stream for a bit, in one in particular he did not crossed the map once in the first 12 minutes and had 6 or 7 CCs, while the Zerg could not do anything against it and had no hope to put pressure. Roach seemed completely useless and hydra / infestor while hoping for good neural parasite seemed to be the only non Hive tech to survive when the mech army push. In general I try to keep an open mind and hope to be proven wrong, but it was a lot of turtle and boring play to me.

Pros sign on for turning their hobby into a job. If you have a relative in the NHL, MLB, NBA or NFL. Or even in the dNBA, MiLB, or AHL you'll know how that goes. YOu are a piece of meat and a vehicle for the club owners to make cash. Lots and lots of players love their game as a hobby and hate it as a job.

go on national TV and tell the world that you hate your job and all it entails. See how fast you get signed as a free agent after you are fired. A very large # of these pro players bullshit about loving the game and the league. They have to.. their livelihood depends on it.

to all those pros who hate the MLB, NHL, NFL and GSL.

I have played less than 10 TvZs on this map, maybe 30 games total. It is very different than any form of mech I have played vs Zerg in the last 6 years, so yes I'm going to be a bit slower while I work out the kinks. I think it's WAY too early if you haven't played at least 100 games in a matchup to say that you think you understand any of the real consequences of these changes.

What is it about the new patch that you hate so much?

Of course, only time will tell ! It's more a "fear" that I have rather than a prediction. I might be a minority but I really love the game as it is right now, and I have a really bad experience playing, and watching MechVzerg. Maybe turtle play won't be viable at pro level, but if I face it every TvZ in my ladder experience...

Watch some ZvT late game BW to see what mech can be if done correct.

BW is completely another game, with other units, other stats, other IA, other UI, other pathing. I find it irrelevant to compare it to Starcraft2.
