But in the end we still have to wait for the details (balance). I really hope the patch changes the game a lot. | ||

To accompany the deployment of Heart of the Swarm Beta patch 2.0.2, we’ve compiled a list of all of the balance changes made to the beta since our previous update. Terran MedivacNew ability: Emergency ThrustersSpeed boost that increases movement speed and acceleration to 4.25 for 8 seconds. 20 second cooldown.The Medivac’s Caduceus Reactor upgrade at the Starport Tech Lab:Health restored per second from 9 to 15.Energy cost reduced from 3 health per 1 energy to 5 health per 1 energy.Cost increased from 100/100 and 80 seconds to 150/150 and 110 seconds. ReaperBase speed increased from 2.95 to 3.375Upgraded speed increased from 3.84 to 4.25. Widow MineNo longer hits cloaked units.New upgrade: Drilling ClawsDecreases burrow time from 3 to 1 second.Requires Tech Lab and Armory. Costs 150/150, 110 second research time. Thor250mm Strike Cannons has been removed.The Thor can now switch between two modes: High-Impact Payload and Explosive Payload. The mode shift takes 4 seconds.When in High-Impact Payload mode, the Thor switches to a different anti-air gun (250mm Punisher Cannons) that has 10 range and deals 24 flat damage.Thor radius, inner radius, and separation radius increased from 0.8215 to 1. RavenSeeker Missile has been redesigned:Can now fire from 10 range.Missile comes out and stays immobile in front of the Raven for 3 seconds while charging up, then rapidly moves (it’s not dodgeable at this point) and explodes at the target for 300 single target damage.Targeted unit lights up red when targeted. If the unit moves 13 range out of where the Seeker Missile is, the Missile fizzles. HellbatSplash damage radius increased from 90 to 110. ArmoryThe Armory now only has one weapon and one armor upgrade for both air and ground upgrades for both Factory and Starport units. Protoss MothershipRecall now functions as it does with the Mothership Core.Vortex now kills a single target.Vortex does not affect massive units.

Dark Shrine cost is now 100/100, down from 100/250.TempestNow requires Fleet Beacon.Attacks with two weapons. The primary weapon, Kinetic Overload, hits air units and remains unchanged. The secondary weapon, Resonance Coil, hits ground units, and does not deal bonus damage to massive units.Build time is now 60, down from 75. Void RayPrismatic Beam:No longer charges up.Weapon period decreased from 0.6 to 0.5.No longer does passive +massive damage. Prismatic Alignment (new ability) increases damage to armored units by 6 for 20 seconds, with a 1 minute cooldown. This does not scale with upgrades.

Swarm Host health increased from 120 to 160.InfestorFungal Growth:Is now a projectile.Speed of the projectile is 10.Range down to 8.

The seeker missle changes sound the most interesting. | ||

Removal of Burrow Charge made me laugh, guess that form of terrible terrible damage wasn't meant to be. Medivac speed boost seemingly has no energy cost attached to it - strange. Void ray damage buff ability is "sigh" worthy, there's nothing interesting at play there, "in a battle? Oh shit, *press voidray button*" I'm really confused at what they're doing with the Oracle, it does bonus damage to light now? Kinda like... a phoenix? Kills workers in two shots, but like, why... It's a banshee without cloak now? Strange. Good to see the Infestor nerf made it to the beta patch, and the projectile came into play. | ||
