All right.


And don’t forget next year it‘s rinse and repeat, new major balance and design changes will be announced while they try to squeeze out every penny there is left with shitty skins, warchests and whatnot, only thing I really can get behind is announcers and additional campaign stuff like Nova DLC, but we have to face the bitter truth, SC2 will be in low(er) effort mode from now on, since the influx of new players won‘t be as big as people hope it would be.

Worst thing for me personally is that they merged all different ladders AND still have no option to disable skins for old school players.
And fuck this High Templar attack, this is so stupid...

Edit: And they even left this observer/overseer vision thing in?!?! What a joke, seriously.

Wouldnt you say SC2 is already in lower effort mode like in 2017? I don't imagine it will get lower than it is now. That was the point of them making the cosmetics and Co-Op microtransactions to begin with, they have incentive to keep working on the game after the core of their team has moved onto the next big thing.

Yeah, you‘re probably right, guess I‘m just concerned they will find a way to switch back another gear or two while milking the remnants of their loyal fanbase.

Well, I personally would be happy if they at some point stopped balance patching the game for multiplayer ladder altogether.

I'm confused would you rather they do nothing?

The problem with widowmines is the drop on mineral lines. Too much damage potential for no risk.


So going by that logic Oracles still must be crazy OP, right?

Terran players always build a Factory. Protoss players don't always build a Stargate. If widow mines do little to no damage, the Terran players hasn't lost out on much. If oracles do little to no damage, the Protoss player has likely lost out on investing in tech that has more utility in the mid game.

Oh I think I was wrong...it says their damage was changed from "spell damage" to "normal damage" whatever that means.

unplayable from technical problems

lag and game crashing

so many games were played on the test mod with no issue and now what's going on?

i dont get how design changes can cause these issues anyway

The menus feel much faster so it appears some optimizations have been made, would that be a reason? My game just randomly crashed on me, there is breaking news on the launcher acknowledging the issue so its being looked at.
