Man it must suck to have a videogame so ingrained into your identity that you'll defend literally any mediocre, half-assed addition to it as manna from the heavens.
"Please sir, can I have some more?", the tattered remains of the SC2 scene grovels, begging for table scraps.
I dunno man some of us actually try to make this game better instead of just rolling over and accepting every decision Blizzard makes and sometimes that involves going against those decisions. If you're not willing to do that, get out of the fast lane and stop holding up everyone else. Jesus Christ if I can get paid monthly cheques by Blizzard and still manage to criticize them when they don't do something as well as they could, you lot have absolutely no excuse. Don't settle, demand better. If you don't you're really no better than a volunteer PR guy for a multinational corporation, which is not something you wanna put on your Tinder profile.

I'm kind of worrying about the readability of some of the new skins.
im ok with it, as long as they don't make raptor lings ever again things will be ok. most units are prity easy to distinguish from one another just based on size and shape, the only unit skins that I have found problematic so far are ones that make it realy hard to count the number of enemy units, for instance raptor lings wings make it difficult to tell how many zerglings there actually are when they move around because its so visually cluttered.
Also that talderim set looks amazing

Screw off with this negative bullshit, there's enough of that in the world and even in this thread already and you're far better than to behave so childish. Or, at least I thought you were. For crying out loud, get a better outlook on life and other people in the world, dude. Punch up, not down, and don't torch everything around you while you do it.
And find a new line other than "please sir, can I have some mo-" we've heard it enough times by now and you must be sick of saying it every week, no?

Well, it's difference of opinion on to how people want to spend their money.
How much money does SC2 actually bring in compared to how much they pay players, staff working on the game, and pay for personalities to host/cast the events? I'm not 100% for how they separate their money with this, but I am still going to buy this. My money, I spend it where I will. Skins for me with the new art is worth it, and the potential ease to get everything is something that would have me play more, even through commanders. I don't generally buy announcer packs, because for me their not worth that. But how I spend my money is up to me and to consumers who want it. If people don't want it, they won't buy it and Blizzard can change or not change depending on the outcome.

I think you're being a bit dramatic about how negative he's been. I mean, TB has always had a flair for the dramatic but don't return the favor when criticizing him.

Is this the dramatic flair that you're referencing?

Actually I think I've had enough. I'm done with TL and its cadre of poisonous posters who suffer from collective Dunning-Kruger effect. You can't even explain your teams own business model without getting shit on because a bunch of crybabies got offended for no reason. Even Reddit didnt get offended at that blog and they get offended at everything under the sun.
Asking the mods to delete my account, there's no benefit to being here anyway. If people wanna circlejerk about how much they think they know and make themselves feel better by shitting on the increasingly shrinking number of community personalities/casters/players that bother to continue to post on TL that's their business, but I'm not going to subject myself to it anymore.
5 years of this shit is to just too damn much. Enough.
Oh and Boxerfred? Go fuck yourself. If you didnt want a negative response you shouldn't have shitposted in the thread in the first place. You want me to "stop being a prick to people?", then try treating me how you want to be treated. Congratulations on further piling on drama to the point where I can't be fucked to deal with it anymore. I hope you're satisfied at your accomplishment.

Pretty much agree with what TB argues in the long tweet.
The quality of the skins seem to be there but the marketing and implementation is just meh. I am not a moba/dota 2 fan and could care less that valve has done something similar.

I'm surprised this thread isn't brimming with positivity.
I thought it was pretty fun news, although I'm missing console skins.

how many people in the thread are accepting every decision Blizzard makes? is any one in the thread fully satisfied and on board with this War Chest? i don't think any one is.
EDIT: i found 1 guy : Musicus
Ok, should i now rip him to shreds on as personal a level as possible. will that help? Let's all make fun of him. That'll really improve the discussion about the Warchest.

Hmm... not really interested to be honest, the art is cool I guess lol.

Terran got tissue box and crying emoticons. While Protoss get cheese emoticon. What does Blizzard trying to tell us. :thinking:

What a wonderfully constructive, informative post. How many years have you been working with Blizzard on a professional level, or perhaps managing your own team or putting on tournaments for this scene?
You know the drones have gone too far when you are literally dismissing posts by someone who has access to more insider information and statistics than probably anyone on TL (who isn't staff anyway) as "negative bullshit". Oh no, how dare someone point out that something could be better! And even worse, also providing several lengthy options as to how they could be made better! The horror, it's unthinkable!
Critics drive discussion and thinking, while apologists are the only ones "punching down" and promoting stagnation when they silence any dissent regardless of its merit.

I love the idea and the value but like other people are saying i wish more of the cost went to the players.
Maybe next year the will change it from 25% to something more.

I really like the skins, will get all options for sure.
What I would really like though, is a mod of the ingame UI/dashboard thingie to my liking, like WoW has with interface addons, but of course it would be a lot more restricted to still keep the visible map proportions etc. I would love to see some UI and bonus co-op skins/ui/ stuff, there's a lot of room for sound effects or announcers too. As for UI modifying to the level that WoW addons have? I'm not so sure. Does Blizz allow them for WoW Arena tournaments, and would that be okay for StarCraft ladder? Observer UI regularly gets changed for good reason, but I don't know that changing the command card location, unit selection interface, alert displays, HP/MP bars, etc. would work/be good for player perspectives. That said, I haven't seen any mockups for any of that, so it's possible something could work.
yeah i think Blizz doesnt allow custom UI in WoW arena tourneys.
I wasnt really clear in my post, i meant restricted customization for the ingame dashboard UI that doesn't modify the allowed "battlefield" perspective, for instance: the console at the bottom is all you can customize and you could rearrange the elements to your liking, what if I like my minimap on the other corner or different UI colors or whatever. And, just as WoW, they would disable the custom UI in tourneys.

Wait, I don't understand. Sorry, this might be a stupid question but after buying those you have to unlock them by playin co-op and stuff ? Like if I buy it and don't really play much outside of like ~5 1v1 ladder games per month, will I be able to use those skins or will they stay locked ?

I think you'll be able to use one single (unit?) skin 
Rest should be unlocked until you played more.

Yes you have to play co-op or matchmaking to unlock the skins. If 5 games per month is enough is hard to say right now. Could be that you need to play 5 games per week instead. But not much more than that, it's supposed to be very easy and casual friendly to unlock everything.

its a back-and-forth mud slinging between 2 guys who are discussing each other rather the topic.
i'd say the # of people fully satisfied with the Warchest are in the minority.
what is hilarious is people with the majority opinion that the Warchest is less than great ... claiming those in the minority are somehow bad for SC2. Holy Lex Luger.
i don't think the Warchest is that great. A small group thinks the Warchest is great? super.. they can buy it. if indeed very few like the Warchest then very few will buy it. With low sales levels Blizzard will be forced to go back to the drawing board and come up with something better or just drop the whole thing entirely.

Thanks for the answers guys !
It's a shame, I didn't buy skins so far because I thought it was quite expensive and I'm not playing much anymore. I thought the warchest would have been a great way to get lots of skins at a cheaper price while at the same time supporting the e-sports scene that I spent so much time watching a few years back, but I won't pay for something that I won't be able to unlock! Unless this actually motivates me to pick the game up again...
