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. People are just delusional to associate these kinds of features with the decline of the game. The game could have all these features when it launched and we would still end up where we are now. Something like Overwatch could has less features than what it launched with and still be hugely popular. It's about the market for this kind of game. You won't convince mass of people to play traditional RTS in this day and age. | ||

You won't convince mass of people to play traditional RTS in this day and age. That's a pretty ridiculous statement to make. Have you played Dota 2? That game requires you to have almost encyclopedic knowledge of everything in the game and it's one of the most popular games on the market. The skill floor is ridiculous and it's why people associate Dota 2's learning curve to climbing an extremely steep mountain. Besides, Blizzard already proved that popularity in a genre doesn't dictate how well a game does with Overwatch. Prior to its release people thought Arena brawlers were dead. | ||

Were people thinking 'OMG I can't try zerg cause my unranked MMR is too high and I will loose the first 5 games'??? If that's the case people seriously to get a grip and stop behaving like 5 years old. I played all 3 races in WoL (i.e. before unranked was available) each time I switched I got a lot of losses, but guess what? it never mattered cause in the end I always caught up and came back to the roughly the same MMR. I had fun doing so and getting the 3 races at the same level was an achievement that I was proud of. There was absolutely no need for separate MMR, esp when HotS came out and unranked was available. Separate MMR is just gadget for crybabies that has no influence on the fact people truely like the game or not. My bet is all the people that are saying 'I would have played sc2 more with a separate MMR' are lying to themselves and won't change their opinion about sc2 in the long run. | ||

I'm not saying the game would have been the #1 esport this way, but they were so stubborn and begin to do sensible things only because SC2 is on the verge of dying. That being said, very nice addition. If my passion regrows one day, I may have fun with Z/T. my thoughts summed up nicely I'm pretty excited ._. | ||

It's a sick feature | ||

No, but it is a highly requested QOL improvement to the game. | ||

At worst it looks like blizzard is finally realizing that the games popularity is rapidly dwindling and now they are scrambling to bring people back. It will start with replacing David Kim with someone more competent, plain and simple. Even the new patch is just going to create massive amounts of new balance issues that will take many patches to iron out and all we'll get is a neutered watered down version of the original thing. And I love that no matter what Blizzard does. People still find a way to be unhappy. Yea it is easy to NOW say that this should have been a feature when SC2 first came out. I'm sure you were the first person ever to mention this right? I think as a community we all need to learn how to be less entitled and more thankful that a company is always striving to put in new changes to improve the game whether they fail or succeed. It's not the changes they make will ever have severe impacts on our lives. Rejoice everyone! This is a cool feature! | ||

Keep it up! Next please make a build order tester/guide. You know how much that would help new players understand how to play and optimize builds? | ||

I wonder if they will start penalizing those who lose on purpose to drop ranks and massacre bronze gamer like another 6 years later when 10 people are playing SC2. | ||
