On most levels Protoss is the least common race (exceptions being Bronze, Silver & GM) while Terran and Zerg are about even. You will greatly increase your queue times by removing a race, especially when you consider other people might not like playing against your race. | ||

Because people asked for this for five years and it is trivial to implement, and there is a recent pattern of Blizzard finally giving in to community requests after ignoring them for no reason for years. I think there must be a reason for this, presumably along the lines of: "oh we can't add improvements to the game because it might confuse precious casuals" but now they feel like just implementing community suggestions is cheap content to produce and there are no casual players left anyway. | ||

Trivial? I don't know about that. Maybe its not trivial ? And maybe the returns of such a feature is not as high as you would think. Unranked matchmaking, which was lauded as incredibly important because the precious casuals can't handle ladder anxiety didn't exactly create the 2nd renaissance of the game. | ||

Every year since the release I hope "maybe this game will finally get good, maybe it will finally be the game I waited for so long". But it still isn't. Multiplayer against some races is still too frustrating because of the amount of possible bullshit you can play and that a single misclick can cost you the game no matter how much ahead you were before. So in addition to different MMR per race I would have hoped that even if you play your main race, you have different MMR not only for the race you play but also the race you play against. For instance: Lets assume my main is Terran: My TvZ is great but since cheese is very ez to pull off and sometimes hard to defend, I lose a lot against bullshit-tosses. So I want a different MMR for that. Same for Terran, as basically I don't play TvT, I leave it at the first second cause sometimes even if you won a game the opponent plays ultradefensive and just costs you time, so it frustrates me to win that game in a very slow manner. And many more situations where I would like having a different MMR not for each race but for each matchup. I know this would be even harder to implement, but there is still hope. | ||

Dude, don't complain. The technology just wasn't there yet before. Someday, maybe we'll be able to play SC2 over a local area network (LAN). It is really cutting edge tech, but imagine tournaments never having to deal with network issues or DDOS attacks. Good things take time though.

That is way too much for Blizzard... Davyie can only handle one post per month, and he demands his posts be in his special blue color like his birthday cake and his favorite underwear. So yeah, I don't think you are qualified. | ||

as a frequent offracer I'm so hyped for this now I can see on my own server with good latency how far my protoss cannon rushes can carry me, I'm hoping to masters. So I can claim my p is as strong as my t. It was fun to get to diamond on kr with 50% cannon Rush but im super excited to try it on Na this time I won't quite if I lose a game and do some other strat! Thanks Bliz. | ||

Nobody says it is super important but it is just nice to have and common sense. And don't tell me that professional programmers can't code a separate mmr per race within like half an hour. | ||
