Remember, this is an early preview and things may look considerably different once the changes go live following the November tournament season. That being said, we’re very excited about the potential these changes have for improving the StarCraft II Multiplayer experience. Look forward to the first balance test map being released this week, and please let us know what you think in the comments below!

Unterm Strich bufft Blizzard damit wohl so ziemlich alles auf dem Schalchtfeld - sollte auch nur ein Teil davon eintreten stehen wir wohl einer völlig neuen Multiplayer-Erfahrung gegenüber. Ich finde das echt mal gut. klar kann ads erstmal die komplette Balance über den Haufen werfen, aber allein schon das Blizzard die Stagnation von SC2 erkannt hat und dem mit einem Re-Desing entgegenwirken will, finde ich echt eine tolle Aktion von ihnen.

Ich mag das Studio.

EDIT: Kleiner Nachtrag:

Dieser Balance-Patch kann bereits ab MORGEN (!!!) gespielt werde auf eine Test-Map - und das schöne: Diese Map verfügt über eine eigene MatchMaking-Queue!

Live sollen die Änderungen nach der Blizzcon gehen. LOTV 2.0 quasi. Sehr cool.
