Ever played dota2? you basically download 50-200 MB every day, sometimes twice and basically nothing changes.

And your point is? That something is even more stupid is not an excuse to other stupidity.

My favorite part is however how I have to constantly update battle.net itself, even though I do not care about the app at all and it brings me absolutely zero benefits. The arrogance on Blizzard's side towards people with slow internet is endless.

We are getting a little bit offtopic here, but want to give my 2cent on the bnet client.
I used Teamspeak, then in parallel tried skype for some years, but recently my friends and me
started using the bnet clients voice chat and the chatroom.
Its pretty nice since you have all in one program and for my part i have to say none of us had
any issues using it. It just worked perfectly (well this is just about 20 people so the statistics are not very good ;D).
And you do not have to run another program besides the client that you use anyways.
So i think blizzard provided something great that is totally underused.

Also if you compare it to any other game. They are all related to steam that you have to start
in some way. And i think the bnet client is way more elegant than steam is.
Of course this is subjective and everyone has its own opinion about this and i can undestand
your hate towards the updates.
But somehow you have to get the improvements to the user. And if the game updates or a client...

Last week, David Kim was thinking about testing a change as soon as possible.

This week, he suggested the idea about applying the Liberator nerf to the live game as soon as next week since he doesn't think it should drastically affect other matchups besides TvP.

The "Tastosis" Patch

So no new Co-Op commander? Just buffs to Stukov, who I personally find unexciting? Sad panda...

Why is dayvie still toying with an idea of buffing hydras? Maybe I'm biased, but hydras got buffed indirectly once again by nerfing liberators, and current pvz midgame is already a nightmare for protoss so what's the point?

Because the current meta for every zerg matchup is Ling bane (Or mass roach zvz). You sprinkle in hydras in ZvP for anti air, but that's it. You get like 12.

Blizzard probably wants top open up some choices for zerg.

Looks like I'm not the only one getting a 4 second screen delay at the start of each game. Are they going to fix this anytime soon?

Haha, I know right? I think that is actually part of the upcoming broodwar patch, though.

As far as I can tell everyone I've talked to is getting the same problem.

Goodbye Starcraft, playing a game the devs care so few about that the seasonal changes are bringing back old maps which don't even remotely fit the expansions meta.

After many seasons, I can honestly say that this is one awful map pool. And enough of these horrible free natural expansions. Can we go back to actual Starcraft?
