Starcraft 2 news » Legacy of the Void Balance Update -- March 8, 2017

*This update will be published on 6/3 in the SEA region, and then on 8/3 CET in the EU region.

In recent weeks, we've been assessing several slight changes to Multiplayer balance. As we've stated before, our overall goal in doing this has been to reach a place of ultimate gameplay stability, enabling players to truly master the game's many units, builds, strategies, and metagames. After seeing how these changes should affect the game, and continuing to monitor known areas for improvement, we're prepared to move forward today with several minor changes to Multiplayer balance which we hope will shift the game more towards our goal. Thank you for all your feedback over the past few months in helping come up with these changes.
