A stupid hot fix every 9 months isn't support.
They haven't made it work on battle.net properly for people using routers like Warcraft 3 does.
The netcode seems extremely poor compared to other rts games, over battle.net Starcraft is very laggy.
Battle.net for Starcraft is a joke, they fixed it for Warcraft 3 but nothing for Starcraft.
If blizzard really supports their games (lol, they don't, they make sure they're bug free but thats not true support, see Starcraft) they would create a higher resolution for the Battle.net lobby and add in all the improvements that they did for Warcraft 3, fast 1 on 1 matchups, fixing up the netcode, pairing people up so they don't lag, etc
Blizzard does not support Starcraft.

I'll elaborate a bit more on why Battle.net for Starcraft sucks
It's hard to find a random 1 on 1 game, most of the games on the list are
hacked money maps and in Korean, if you manage to find a 1 on 1 game
you'll probably get kicked out or wont be able to join 'cause another 70-thousand
players clicked it also.
They all use different version of the same fucking map with some slight change,
if you lag at all or take more than a few seconds to download the map you're gone.
The netcode is so poor there's a good chance a person will just drop out of the game
when it starts, either due to lag or because he's running some map hack.
(it's probably the reason why the games so easily hacked also)
There's no filtering system worth a shit for the games list, and if you try and query it
a few times in a row you'll get blocked for about 10 seconds from listing it again.
The community, this one isn't Blizzards fault, and I hate to judge, and this is probably
why so many Europeans, and no I'm not racist, play the inferior Warcraft III, is incredibly stupid or Korean, and Koreans are racist against Westerners.
A decent 1 on 1 match making system that penalises you with a loss for leaving because you're racist and don't like playing with a westerner would fix this issue and bring the cultures together more.
Warcraft III more or less fixes all of these issues in it's Battle.net implementation, but there's NO SUPPORT FOR STARCRAFT
If you want these features you have to join a private tournament and download extra programs to patch up the REAL PROBLEMS with Starcraft, and find games manually in one of their channels.
