Balance Update - 11.05.12
You might have been part of helping us test the new balance changes coming to StarCraft II, and these most recent adjustments will be coming to the game very soon. What’s different is that, for the first time ever, they won’t be applied as part of a patch.
On May 11, after a brief maintenance period in each region, the following balance changes will take effect globally:
Protoss
- Observer build time decreased from 40 to 30 seconds
Zerg
- Overlord movement speed increased from 0.4687 to 0.586
- Queen anti-ground weapon attack range increased from 3 to 5
Again, to be clear, these changes will take effect after a short maintenance in each region is complete, and neither a patch nor any other special action will be required to experience them in-game.
Thank you for your feedback, and see you on the ladder.

zerg ? hmm bandelings fungal infestors oo wait n00b zergs can alone make muta roach and lings sorry forgot ;)
I used to have a lot of trouble against mass roach, but you can deal with it using good sim city and force fields. I actually think it's a pretty weak build now. Yes they get 80 food ahead, but it's not actually a strong army and they put themselves behind in tech.
I dont need the queen upgrade, but I sure as hell appreciate it.
I find the balance for observer as well very refreshing!
:) :D 8-D
It's Fry-Day-- Fry-Day... Building VOIDS on Fry-Day!!! ; )
ZvsT was kind unfair, you could be held of in base for quite sometime even whit lingspeed. Declineing scouting and yes taking a 3rd.
Are you really that retarded? First of all, Hellion opening is pointless from now on. Second; just build a third creep and you'll be fine. This patch is completely unnecessary and if you think otherwise, you might wanna buy those eyedrops.
Also, judging by the amount of idiots replying to this news. It seems as people still think certain races are "OP". Honestly, the only reason for a loss is the player himself, no races. This patch though, different story
The 50 energy would be pretty overpowered, you also have an instant Transfuse, which means you can easily defend in a ZvZ whit like 3 queens if you want.
That video link is really hilarious at 44 sec. :D
Everyone should watch it to put things into perspective :D especially terrans!
