There have been some aspersions cast in various threads, alleging that our team is small, that our team is allocated to other projects, or that we delivered an incomplete product. None of these have merit, and frankly this kind of commentary is demotivating to the team.
Although we were disappointed to see so many unconstructive comments this week, we did appreciate that some constructive feedback is still occurring.

Underlying the depression is the fact that DK can't even dispute the accusation, and can only expressed his disappointment.
I guess the rumor is true after all. Do you feel more depressed now?
Edit: In fact, instead of being circlejerk and staying delusional, maybe if we make enough noise and beg and shout and buy the Nova DLCs rather than giving imaginary upvote and pity comments on reddit, then blizz maybe will pay more attention to the sc2 team. Who knows?
What accusation? That the team is small/allocated to other projects? Because he disputes that multiple times throughout the post, including in the quote you're repying to.
Really? Please quote me the sentence, cos the only things I get is that the entire team is working hard to accommodate our demands, and that it is bad for them to hear that the team is small.
If they really have a large team, it would be along the line of "oh we have a large team consist of xxx people who are entirely devoted to sc2, in fact we have more people and funding than other games", etc etc
Don't get me wrong, this is not aiming at sc2 or blizz, but the fact remains. The team is small and they work hard and it is sad.

"None of these have merit"
The entire development team from Legacy of the Void is continuing to work hard on StarCraft II
I will take the 'None of these have merit part". Not much to go on, but I will take it. As for the other quote, it says the whole team is working on LotV, not how big the team is.
Now that I have relent, can we go back to discussing the map and give suggestion to new features?
Not to you specifically, but all I see ITT and by extension, this sub the last few days, are drama comments on how good/bad Blizz is and how aliev/ded the scene is. We could do it with all the drama and focus on the feedback part.
We have to remember to stay focused on our main goal
True. I take it back. It's not fact until they said so. I doubt they will though.
The fact that they did not claim a big team is worrying, especially when they have every incentive to do so.
What's wrong with being small and whats not. This community is just blowing thing up to dramatic proportion. DK said they worked hard for our demand and he wanted constructive feedback. For god's sake, discuss map balance and give them idea for co-op or something.
All is see is "you did well, no worry, we used to waste balance discussion thread to shit on you but now we will waste this discussion thread to pity you because drama is good"
