Classic vs reforged users

Whats your opinion? is it a good thing that classic users can play vs reforged users?
i think thats the reason thats holding back blizzard, wasting time
and doesnt let the game to grow

because some mechaniks like quick cast cant be added or even the 12 unit limit (which i personaly like)!
is it a good idea to make changes to classic too? like adding quickcast
i think blizzard should make some disicions like transfering classic to a new client,so it can be changed if needed. (thats my poor opinion,i know you will hate me :confused:)

Are there separate ladders?

If they full-on split the games, that’s going to split the player pools. And that will lead to less games/players to assemble matches, leading to longer queues.

I suspect that one will end up with less players than the other making it worse off. Bliz isn’t trying to replace Classic with a new game. They just want to up the experience for those who wish it, while leaving the game largely intact.

quick casting is not balanced in WC3, this isn’t a moba, QC is only useful for nuking heroes

the 12 unit limit isn’t a big deal either way, Custom Games WILL have the option to increase the # of units, but ladder is staying the same to appease longtime veterans

Personally, I would have liked to see the unit groups increase to 16-20 units (not unlimited), because you rarely have more than 20 of a single unit type anyway (except maybe when massing gyrocopters/flyingmachines). I think 16-20 units would have been good for everybody

However, the original game back in 2002 had 12 units intentionally, it wasn’t due to hardware limitations because C&C had unlimited (or thousands) of units selectable and that game came out in the mid 90s. The only reason Blizzard didn’t change it for Reforged is cause it was the simplest option for them, as they are trying to appease the competitive community for e-sports

IF they decide to split the ladder, it will/should be as a DLC/Expansion. RoC was always separate from TFT but now RoC is gone. I want Reforged to be compatible with Classic/TFT ladder so its always alive and active. Then we could have a new ladder for Reforged+DLC players, maybe with a 5th race

It’s an awesome feature and i would go further, i would let classic RoC and TFT for free to bring more players to the game. Keep reforged, DLCs and skins for buying but classic RoC and TFT should be free and keep them compatible. Both games must use the same ladder system or else you’ll split the community. The only problem i see with this aproach would be the creation of smurf accounts…

Thanks for the text. It really helped me understand!

Why do they waste time on classic if they got a lot of work on reforged ? And new changes on classic it wouldnt be classic anymore then
