Diamond league...shit...I think at HotS I'd still never risen above bronze. :(

But, yeah, I do agree that Blizzard's focus is on co-op, for now at least, and it does seem to be popular among numerous players for its accessibility. I will admit that I'm not as enamored with co-op as a lot of people. Partly because my PC has limited specs, so the frame rate can drop drastically in a lot of games for me, and once you know how to beat a map, you tend to stick to that strategy. I do also hope that if a mission pack is ever released again (which I'm not counting on until late 2018, if at all, it's released in one go.

On the other hand, I wouldn't quite say that SC2 is in maintenance mode, but it's been seven years since WoL was released, and 2 since LotV was released, so of course there's going to be a winding down of content. I'm all for more lore, but I can live without it. Still, with the war chest being pushed back, and apparently Shadow Wars with it, I can only ask that if Blizzard's funneling staff away from SC2 (which is understandable, if aggravating), they're actually putting those staff to use on other projects.
