This is the only proper response to a Summer Jam thread:

How many more nails do we need to finish sealing this coffin? This game is sounding worse and worse with each announcement.

I saw an article ripping apart a comment Pachter made the other day, it wasn't game related or anything, it was about something he said regarding a hooded sweatshirt Mark Zuckerberg was wearing being inappropriate for the thing Zuckerberg was at.  The person who wrote the article certainly seemed to have a bone to pick with Pachter though.

It's no big deal anyway. Blizzard DOTA will be a free mod for SC2 while Valve's DOTA 2 is a full fledged retail game. Hence why Blizzard is using it for non-commercial purposes, their version is free and is going to be playable on the demo version of SC2. They changed the name but none the less, it doesn't matter because they aren't charging for it anyway.

and you know that how? From what I know it's pretty certain DOTA2 will be F2P.

I don't know if it's free to play or not (I haven't found anything stating either way but most people on the Steam forums want it to cost money to keep the "undesirable players" out, IE the super rude kids that plague LoL right now) but I'm fairly sure if it goes the F2P route it will be like LoL with ingame purchases. The difference is the Blizzard game isn't a stand-alone product, that's what I meant in the first place, I just suck at stating my points.

@Ben_H: Nope. It will be called Blizzard All-Stars now.

Yeah I caught that after I posted. Fixed it. I was going off what they had announced previously.

Yeah, I've probably played approximately 370 ladder games this season and I was #1 in my division for a while so I got matched up with a lot of diamond players and lost. Now I'm #5 and I believe I lose more than I win. The worst is that I feel like I'm not even improving and I'm not sure if this is a skill wall I can even pass. It sucks.

Problem I have is that dia players on even balanced maps I can win against pretty well... but fuck me Korhal is a JOKE all the Z has to do is defend a little against early aggro and then build roaches and there thats it... the game is over... its a joke.

Ohana is just as bad becasue your 3rd is stupidly delayed not only that, you can't get a 4th, there is just no way.... so today... guess which maps i get to play pvz ? and guess how that goes?

oh and the other matches... bullshit pvp thats a fucking coin-toss at the best of times.... I'm getting better but its a fucking pointless waste of time when you're fucking handicapped so much by the horrible maps

Have you considered maybe vetoing those maps if they're so bad? Sounds like you should chill out and try and enjoy the game / don't blame other stuff that only serves as a barrier to you bettering your play.

sure, and then I'd get to play pvp on tal'drim or pvz on metal... those sure would be 'awesome' !

He's right, you know.  You're never going to improve if you blame maps and whatnot for you not winning. Unless you're at the tip top of master league (and even at that level), the thing losing you games is your own mistakes, not maps or game imbalance. I used to have the same mindset but I fixed it and started finding my own mistakes and now I've improved immensely.

The PC version is a lot better from what I've seen of the console version. The PC version has jungle so you can build badass treehouses. That's what I'm working on right now.

I appreciate that instead of writing "first" or crap like that people instead opted to insult Activision.

I dislike it. When you want to watch consecutive videos (IE Endurance Run) it keeps loading an entire new page instead of just loading the video without refreshing like the old player did. Now you either have to open each video in a new tab or navigate a bunch of menus to get back to the page where the video was to pick the next one.  Though it seems like this feature is just disabled until it can be fixed because before it allowed you to keep it on the same page when switching videos but it kept screwing up and playing the default video for the page (IE the first video on the page) instead of the one you selected. 
 
I hope this gets fixed soon.
