    It is.

    It's a bug, I think because they never fixed the summer slam shit.

    Fuck you can still buy rare mecha chests with gold.

    EDIT: Ok they have fixed the thing and you can't buy mecha chests with gold anymore.
    But you COULD.

    I had a "Play 2 games with Overwatch heroes", so I decided to play D.Va w/the wife on Li Li. Wow, once you wrap your head around how she works, she's a lot of fun. Thrusters into meaty body blocks are great. She does feel super weak until 10, but that's fine I guess.

    I went with:
    • Rush-down
    • Bring It On
    • Coming Through
    • Big Shot
    • Emergency Shielding
    • Torpedo Dash
    • Pew! Pew! Pew!

    Felt really solid all-around, but I'm open to build variety.

    To be fair, Starcraft 2 is a complete game with no real expectation of continued development. I'm not surprised they aren't working on Starcraft 3, the RTS genre is not exactly hot right now. They just don't want to make a game in that universe at the moment, they only have so many dev resources.

    And their interest in Diablo is a reskinned Chinese mobile game.

    That's not what the rumored Diablo 4 is. I think Immortal is mostly just an outsourced experiment in dabbling with mobile games, which they did a very bad job of messaging. They should never have revealed it before D4.

    i mean, sure, but Starcraft is (was, i guess) one of the original three pillars of Blizzard

    that's still an IP they can get shit out of

    There was a giant gap between bw and sc2, for legit reasons.


    I wouldn't say SC is dead by any means. You'll just be too old to play the next one beyond the training mission due to dem bones.

    I think Blizzard is going through some shit right now and I'm sure they've lost a fair number of employees as a result. I wish they hadn't fucked over HotS the way they did, at least in terms of messaging. But I don't really fault them for their decision to realign most of their resources behind two big games. They are just one company, and including HotS/Hearthstone/WoW, they've currently got five games in active development. That's a lot.

    I mean, the big reasons were that Brood War was so perfectly balanced that it had an insane esports scene that they didn't control.

    So they spent a shitton of time in the lab trying to replicate the formula for SC2.

    With the stuff that's happened to blizzard over the last couple of years and what happened late last year and the stuff going on right now I feel it's best if Blizzard just walks away from Activision. I know they currently have none of the old leadership that would do this though

    Everyone knows that there is a 12-year gap between StarCraft releases. Since SCII ended in 2015, we won't get SC3 until 2027. The market should be ready by then.

    Yeah, uh, a lot can change in like, 15+ years.

    And, yeah, Blizzard and Activision are the exact same entity. There is no "Blizzard of old". There is no thinking that Blizzard "just needs to get out from under them", there is no thinking that Blizzard are "still the good guys".

    They are the exact same thing.

    I wonder if they could rig it up to only proc the stun for basic attacks at melee range. Raynor and greymane have alternative attack animations at melee range, although I don't think that anything positive happens from delivering such attacks.

    Kharazim, Rehgar, and Uther have a kit designed to engage in melee and mix it up. Stukov is rewarded for weaving in melee attacks with massive damage, and has a talent for a solid ranged attack snare if desired. Cain feels like a hero who was designed and balanced around having a weak ranged attack like most healers, but then they gave him melee for arbitrary aesthetic, flavor reasons.

    Deckard should technically be semi-ranged, much like Leo has a fairly long range on his 'melee'

    Deckard is kind of meant to be helpless in combat, it's part of his core concept. For him to be shooting laser beams out of his staff or something would feel weird, he's not actually a mage.

    Deckard also used to be able to survive a lot of 1v1 fights, just slowly walking away feeding himself potions and slowing an opponent.

    Give him a ranged attack and he can probably kite a number of heroes he shouldn't trade into
