David Kim is full of himself though thinking all matchups are really cool now. He doesn't want to do any real changes and not ruin the precious balance. In the meantime basically all hots units are gimmicky except the widowmine (which arguably breaks TvZ a little) and mech is still gone. The only great HotS changes were some of the nerfs to old units removing the dreaded infestor/bl combo from play.

Actually Blizzard is aware that terran match-ups have become stale to spectate.
It's just that they screwed mech so badly it can't be fixed outside of a expansion.

What changes are so big that couldn't be done in a HOTS patch?

Haters gonna hate. As someone who's much happier with HotS than I was with WoL, and who enjoys pretty much every matchup at this point, I'm glad that they're not looking at any radical redesigns, and I think the game is moving in the right direciton.

Yeah, dropping the S from the RTS is a really good direction for terran match-ups.

Anyone who thinks there is no strategy involved in playing Terran at the highest level is an idiot.
