Most of the time Blizzard just introduces cannon rush spots, breaks a few geysers, and sloppily re-texture some areas to make them look worse, so they've really surpassed themselves this time.

this is what blizzard meant by "major" balance changes

I think they snuck in some late engine changes without QA (several hints towards that) and it blew up in their faces. Game is literally unplayable, i have 15 replays that are a quarter second long because it kicked everyone out

Edit: They've disabled all 1v1 queues but the issues persist in 2v2+, co-op etc

It is pure tragic-comedy how fast Blizzard went to hell after Morhaime left. I thought Blizzard's decline would be more slow and more gradual. Silly me.

There's also a bug on Nightshade too. For the bottom player's natural, it's possible for a worker to become trapped after leaving one of the gas geysers if it exits on the side adjacent to the main.

I really like the creep change. Terran and Toss should be able to play a macro/defensive game without losing the entire map forever.

I am worried about z V lategame air armies of both T and P but ... I think it makes perfect sense for a toss or terran deathball to be somewhat OP. Their armies advanced technologies are the peak of their civilizations abilities, it makes sense (to me) that zerg should be an underdog whenever T or P are able to build their dream army.

I do not think this will balance things at the top level in any way. Nydus and swarmhost and the potential of them are the problem. Nydus delay? Build 2.

I really thought zealots were going to be fast like in bw, I think it is unfortunate blizzard didn't commit to it fully.

Overall, my biggest hope is that T and P players enjoy playing the game more. All the toxic balance issues seems to have demoralized a lot of players. I hope if anything, Protoss players can feel good knowing, that if they get to superlategame they have an edge vs any zerg who isn't a spell caster-master.

Happy experimenting gamers.

Why not show MMR for team games on initial screen as well? Show the actual portrait borders for team games on loading screen instead of borders taken from solo.

The portrait border thing has been done (unless it is a bug.) I'm really happy about this, since I only play 2v2 ^ ^

Why does Blizzard need to mess with the maps?

That looks more like the result of you jumping into play IMMEDIATELY instead of having patience and allowing the whole game to download.

But if the minerals is true that suckss!

...Unless it's like that on both sides, in which case I like it!

hey guys.

i have a problem with hotkeys, does anyone experiencing this:

i use core ~5.0 with some changes.
whenever i start a game, i would get the hotkey conflict detected warning.
in the infestation pit i can not set different hotkeys for the neural and the shroud researches.
whenever i click neural and set it to P, shroud automatically gets P as well.
i can reset the neural to default, this way i get E for neural and C i believe for shroud.
if i do it in the game, the warning message seems to go away, but this is not an optimal solution -.-
