IT IS TODAY:
"Fair enough!
We've got a ridiculous amount of changes coming at you with this one, both on the feature side and on the balance side. We will be posting very detailed notes shortly here, but at the highest level you can expect the following:
Groups.
Turning on 2v2 queues (with some new maps)
Fixing the clan invite spam (Hurray, eSports is saved!)
Massive balance changes. If you want a peak at those you can check DK's post over on the EU forums from earlier this week.
Lots to be excite about! :D"

Sounds like the patch will shake things up a little bit. I'm excited.

:OOOO! Was about to go play now but I really want to wait for the patch!

I'm generally impressed, as a zerg i'm sad about the infestor, but hopefully it wont be useless. I do like the other zerg things, especially hydra speed at lair is going to be fun, and the swarm host buff. (and mutas too!) and meh, ultras buff, sure why not :p
And I like making terran have 2 sets of ups, since zerg and toss arguably only have 2 sets as well (though we see shields for toss, and melee/range separation for zerg...) Idk, interesting to see how it pans out.
As for toss air changes, I agree, as oracle and voidray are overlapping a bit, but entomb felt too strong. Maybe heavily nerf entomb, or make it cast only individual mineral fields at a time, unless its now going to shoot everything, units and buildings, which then it feels like a void again, but we shall see :p Still sad toss had replicator removed, and they cant find a place for the warhound...

I'm very excited to see how ZvP works out with infesters getting a hardcore nerf while other units get a good buff and with Vortex getting the same. We might finally have a fun time in that match up :D

This is my problem. It's going to be later today Blizzard time so it probably won't be ready in the UK until tommorow, but I really don't want to wait now :p

I hope their servers won't explode like when they did the last big update with the clans and leveling.

You know what, for once, I don't want patch notes. Just tell me what you made awesome, but don't give me stats. Just "the firebat, now more awesome. Go check out how." Keep the theory crafters guessing.

LOL, such a troll, where are the balance changes?

Huh...
AI Communication
-Players can now issue orders to AI partners.
-This is a preliminary implementation of this feature, and we will be adding to it over the coming weeks. Please keep an eye on our Heart of the Swarm Beta Discussion forum for further updates.
Reminds me of Red Alert 3, which supported co-op for its entire campaign but allowed you to give simple orders to your AI partner if you didn't have a human one, although I'm sure a similar feature can be found in another RTS.

New Victory/Loss sequences now play at the end of a game.
Fuck yeah. Hopefully they are as sick as the ones in BW.
