The latest in unit teasers is up, and it looks like we have some sort of air unit for the Protoss.

I expect some sort of air unit since our air force is kind of lacking at this point. Both phoenix and void rays are extremely situational and are easily "hard countered".


Am I good? Or am I good?

Blizzard has released a mysterious yet intreging photo of a new multiplayer unit that will be released in Heart of the Swarm expansion. Little information has been given out on this new unit, but speculations have already conjured up in the battle.net forums.

Season 3 Drawing To A Close
October 4, 2011 at 4:12 AM
 
This was recently posted on the Blizzard Battle.net community site.

Season 3 is coming to an end soon, and Season 4 is on the horizon. At the end of each ladder season, leagues are "locked" which means players can no longer be promoted or demoted out of their current league or division, and bonus pools will stop growing. That's no reason to quit playing: even after leagues are locked, players will still be able to play out their remaining bonus pool and compete for standing within their divisions until the end of the season two weeks later. The match-making skill ratings which determine league promotion and demotion will also continue to update during the lock, so games played during the lock still count toward league placement in Season 4.

The Season 3 lock will go into effect the week of October 10th. Season 3 will officially end, and Season 4 will begin on the week of October 24th. Season milestone rewards will be locked in at this time, and bonus pools will start over. Hidden skill ratings used for matchmaking and league placement will carry over from the previous season, so players who have completed placement matches in a previous season will only need to play one new placement match after Season 4 starts.

Beginning with Season 4, there are two changes coming to future ladder seasons:

• Each season will now last for approximately two months
• Grandmaster league placement time will be reduced to one week (from two weeks) to account for the reduced season length.

So in season four Blizzard are making two changes to the Seasons design. As quoted above from the Blizzard community site seasons will now only last approximately two months. And Grandmaster placement will only take one week instead of the two required in previous seasons one to three - this is to account for the shorter seasons as said by Blizzard here.


I believe that this is to do with people being stuck in leagues not suiting them and being too scared to play. An example would be people who are close to being kicked out of their league so rather than getting it over with and moving on they stop playing 1v1. This makes it much harder for people to get a promotion from the league below. I will use Nighthawk in season two as an example. He sat at rank one Diamond for a long time proving himself equal to low masters going about 50% wlr and quite often beating people mid masters. But he got no promotion until the season changed where he was placed straight into masters. Hopefully this will eliminate these cases. A current example of this is Stroid. Look how many points he is on and his match history.


I like these changes, so without any further typing I'm off to raise my MMR, and Good Luck to all in the new Season!
