First and foremost, I miss Incontrol. I watched his streams for years and years, even after I quit playing SC2 for a couple years.

From a game perspective, I miss the slower start with 6 workers. The 12 worker start is okay but it feels like it takes away a lot of the variety from the early bit of the game and as a result a lot of games feel very same-y for the first 5-8 minutes.

I also miss some of the older maps. This season's maps are far better than last season, but it stills seems like there are a lot of very large, very open maps that don't tend to provide as fun of games, especially in PvZ.

In general, I miss PvZ being a good match-up with a lot of variety. In 2018 and early 2019 the match-up was in a good place and we saw a lot of cool pro games with a variety of strategies on both sides. Almost every game now is adepts or archon drop into a 2-3 base all-in, with few macro games. I thought it was just me at first but hearing Artosis and Tasteless talk about the lack of variety during GSL casts and Artosis talk about why he is unhappy with the match-up on his personal stream has convinced me that this isn't just me. Hopefully with a map pool change up, the match-up will get better.

PvP that wasn't completely random as shit.

One thing I'll never get over is how much more important micro and unit control is in BW PvP compared to SC2 PvP. PvP now and days is so random it hurts everyone's soul when we match each other and we know it.

I really hope they make some additional changes to the upcoming patch, because as everyone has stated, PvP is in a bad spot and none of the current changes really do anything to change it

I agree with this 100%. PvP is straight up bad to play now. It has turned into a combination of a game of rock/paper/scissors and a game of chicken. Proxy robo builds combined with two base all-ins have basically broken the match-up and made it so the aggressor frequently has the advantage over the defender, even in situations or areas where the defender should have a clear advantage (say at their own natural expansion with multiple shield batteries).

I've felt the same for quite some time. So much more distinctive design was allowed in maps back then, it likewise enabled much more distinctive play. Since all the maps were so much more different, it was much harder to have a meta so finely and sharply balanced on super particular points, so everything just seemed more open than it does these days.

I also miss the people. Sure, I miss the people who've moved on and don't play anymore, the OG SC2 scene was just amazing. But I really miss the people who can't come back. TotalBiscuit and InControl were absolutely special. They dedicated themselves to entertaining people, and gosh dangit I think they were great at doing it. They were both taken way too soon.
