People have said MA is dying. Yes there's a lot of truth to that, but let me offer up the main reason why:

Starcraft 2 in general is dying. The game is 5-6 years old. It happens.

So my recommendations:
1. Stop blaming the dev team for ruining the game and being the main cause of the decline of the game (though more frequent updates and bug fixes would be appreciated).
2. Stop giving the community a bad reputation.

Let me expand on #2:
A lot of times in MA I will be playing and if someone is losing they will rage quit and if the same person is winning in the next game they'll smack talk non-stop.

Or if someone is playing solo they start telling their teammate to leave or trash talking about them to everyone.

I've played games where the gaming community is very nice and quite enjoyable. In TF2 for example, I've never heard anyone trash talk or be rude. In Marine arena, I see it almost every time I play.

So, be part of the solution and not the problem. Enjoy the game, have fun even when you aren't winning, and don't be divided amongst other MA'ers when we're all just a dying breed of SC2 arcade individuals.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

Almost makes you wish you could just remove non-ally chat all together from the map.

You can actually do that, but that would do more harm than good.

How do you figure? It's not like the other teams need to speak to your team or vice versa

Team fortress 2. The only other game I ever play. I'm getting old. I don't game anywhere near as much as I used to.
