If you don’t think there’s enough info then your expectations should reflect that
Most people are setting them either way too high or in a completely unrealistic place

““We believe 5v5 is a significant adjustment for players, and we have been happy to hear consistent and positive feedback about players having more fun, feeling a greater sense of impact in their matches””

Communication doesn’t really matter to them.
And if they do communicate, it’s mostly vague PR answers.
bit late, but could you change the title, considering they did communicate with us
Your post seems really nonsensical when you factor in that you posted it after the aforementioned communication already happened.
There were overall good feedback so far from pros, cc and community members. They not only looking at the forums. So this take is valid so far. They still read and hear the feedback and try their best to make 5v5 the best experience for everyone.
If they only read the forums they’d never be motivated a day at work.

Nonsensical sums up their developer update.
Lots of vague statements, with some questionable conclusions. Not much details.
And most of the writing and details spent on their new stupid scoreboard.

Oh you are one of those people.
If they knew the exact changes to make, then they would be making them in the update for later this week. You asked for communication about the process and seem unsatisfied when you get exactly that.
So from that I get that you want them both to communicate and to have the answers immediately to how to fix problems. That is as said before nonsensical, irrational, and wholly unrealistic.
Just think about this from a timeline to see how silly it sounds. The beta went live 1 week ago with most access coming exactly 6 days ago. So if we assume they gathered feedback on Thursday and Friday then you somehow expected them to come in on Monday and immediately be able to come up with specific solutions, implement them, test them, and have them ready enough to talk about in a day to day and a half of work.
Specifics on a scoreboard are easy to talk about because you just decide to do it and minimal testing is required really before letting people see it and even then it won’t change the approach.

I’m amazed at how often some people make mountains out of mole hills.
That OP just shouts: “I am difficult”
Imagine a criticism post that’s actually almost immediately answered. Feels good man
Oh you’re one of those people. A Blizzard intern or a wannabe Blizzard employee, how cute.
It’s called giving detailed answers and an actual roadmap. Not vague statements that mean very little.
No kidding. Because the scoreboard is absolutely pointless to the actual gameplay. Now they can point at their precious scoreboard and say, “Hey look! We provided details!”
When it comes to gameplay information and their actual plan on what they actually want to do, they’re vague and always open-ended with their answers.
But you do you.

They literally say in the article that a balance patch for the beta is coming later within this week.
So, I’m assuming this Thursday, since Tuesdays & Thursdays are their patch update days.
I know that there is little to be gained from a discourse with you, given that “I know you are but what am I” is what you consider wit, but I will try again and hope that maybe you have an actual point.
I am going to assume you are smart enough to know that being told specific changes is impossible (after all thinking otherwise given the already demonstrated timetable would not really be realistic thinking to put it kindly or delusional thinking to put it bluntly) so given that you know that specifics are impossible what more of a roadmap were you expecting? They gave you the area of concern and a timetable with which you could expect a series of changes to address that concern with that timetable not being particularly far away.
You want an actual roadmap and that is what you got so if you do not consider a list of problems and a timetable both in the short term and long term with which those problems will be addressed to be a roadmap what do you define as a roadmap? I cannot come up with any semblance of a way in which that is not the definition of a roadmap.
Basically the only thing that they could have told us that they did not was what is coming in the balance patch on Thursday but if they had something specific that they wanted to do otherwise that was ready to be done then it would almost certainly be IN the balance patch on Thursday. So by the properties of the English language you have your roadmap. Congratulations on getting what you want.
