Ghosts aren't strong enough against late game protoss either. I think they should probably make emp remove 100% of shields instead of a flat amount. Also should probably let them be built out of reactors to make sure they can keep up with late game zerg production.
Its just too hard to make your deathball of ghosts while also pumping 20 marines out of a time out of all your reactors. We all know terran has a really hard time with mineral income and needing to build more barracks for tech labs is just too much.

maybe reduce snipe range a little and small emp nerf And then you woke up, fighting broodlord infestor You're right man, it's impossible to snipe infestors or broodlords with 1 less range on snipe. I mean, Protoss have range 9 on Feedback and Colossi, and they lose to Broodlord/Infestor every time. Blizzard should probably nerf Broodlord range instead, cause Ghosts obviously aren't good enough against Zerg T3 yet. Ghosts too good against lategame zerg? Better nerf toss.

Maybe a New Icon for Burrow :D

I think this patch will be mainly maintenance and junk. Maybe introduce a new service? maybe... paid name change??

Could be wrong! Certainly not gonna bet my hair on it, that's for sure. Why not? You need to shave your hair and grow a chin strap to make it big in SC2! Unless you're Nestea? : P
Nestea with a chinstrap and bulky muscles would be even more GODLIKE!

David Kim already said they were nerfing the EMP radius.

EDIT: Upon reading the patch summaries on Liquipedia to try and figure out what differentiates 1.X patches from 1.X.Y patches, I have come to the conclusion that it is editor improvements. Bugfixes and balance changes appear in 1.X.Y patches, meaning that only editor improvements appear exclusively in 1.X patches.
Now to wait for Blizzard to prove my lovely theory wrong.
Nothing cynical about it. They just want to add decals and portraits for the Blizzcon goers.

Nerfing Snipe too would sound like a good idea to me. + Show Spoiler + After watching MVP snipe like twenty broodlords from Nestea at Blizzcon I do feel Snipe works a bit too well against Zerg. It's effectively one unit that kills all of Zerg tier 2.5 and 3. (Ultralisk, Broodlord, Infestor).
Btw, I am beginning to understand the map selection they have in the GSL. Shattered Temple and Shakuras Platau don't really look like very good maps. Thank God GSL had the balls to start using their own maps.

A change like this I think will be for a major patch I think. But guess it's plausible to see such a change in a patch soon. I just got the feeling it was something they were still discussing. And I felt it was big enough change to put in a "minor" patch. Altho inconsistency in patch numbering wouldn't surprise me.

David Kim did say that there will be more balance patches in WoL. He mentioned a nerf to EMP and a buff to protoss ground upgrades

Where did you hear this? This will be some really good news for Protosses.

personally.....
I heard it straight from David Kims mouth on the blizzcon paid stream

It will be more than likely just bug fixes or tweaks... Hoping for a ghost change, though.

Easy fix. Snipe now does 30 damage to biological (+20 to light). Still ignores armor.
Still kills Marines, Workers(?), Zerglings, and does good damage to Zealots. Doesn't kill Tier 3 Zerg Tech units. You can shift around the base damage and bonus vs. light to balance it out.

I Want my portrait !!!! :D

My guess -Ghost nerf (Snipe and EMP) -Protoss buff -Map changes; ie no close spawns -Some small miscellaneous zerg buff/tweak -And another change to bunker, maybe 50% salvage this time

HotS is still a ways away. We don't even have a release date yet. I doubt WoL will go for several months without any balance changes. Granted, this might depend on what you consider a "major" balance change as opposed to minor tweaks.

Protoss won't get buffed, and they definitely won't remove close spawns because Blizzard likes "fast more intense games".
