Blizzard has detailed its upcoming design patch for StarCraft II, which is expected to bring significant changes to multiplayer: the majority of tweaks involve specific units, such as MULEs, which can now harvest Vespene gas but bring in fewer minerals, while the Raven gains new abilities such as Repair Drone, which allows it to heal nearby units. Resources are also being retuned in Legacy of the Void to discourage overly defensive playstyles.
Last year we released Patch 3.8 which, unlike smaller balance patches released throughout the year, was a larger set of changes aimed at improving multiplayer StarCraft II through various design changes. This year we are embarking on another design patch and are excited to share with you our initial list of changes! This time around our general focus is to address underused units and abilities while also trying to reduce sudden game ending moments.
