Thanks for working together with us on both the upcoming patch changes and the map updates. This weekend brings the majority of the big events for this season to a close, so we are aiming to release both the balance patch and the map updates next week. We intend to implement the changes that we have been testing and improving the past months, and below is the list: Swarm Host - Cost reduced from 200/100 to 150/100
- Supply cost increased from 3 to 4
Liberator - Anti-air damage changed to 5 (+2 light)
Cyclone - Cost reduced to 150/100
- Supply cost up from 3 to 4
Immortal - Barrier absorb down from 200 to 100
Colossus Thor - Add a second mode of attack:
- 35 +15 armored damage per 3 seconds (or 2.14 seconds in real time)
Map Changes - Removed Watchtowers on Frozen Temple
Additionally, in agreement with the feedback from both our top pros and our community, we will be adding both Frost and King Sejong while removing Prion Terraces and Korhal Carnage during the upcoming balance patch. As mentioned above, we will also be doing a minor update to Frozen Temple of removing the watch towers on the map due to the feedback of advantage swinging too hard depending on who controls it. Thank you, and we will discuss the other topics for this week in the weekly update later this week!

In the Thor thing, what do they mean with real time? Isn't in game time real time now?

That change to Frozen Temple is unexpected. I wonder where that feedback came from. The immortal change is really big--seeing how PvZ will shape up after this will be... interesting.

Perhaps the engine still runs in blizzard time, so they have to recalculate it to real time manually. Just a theory.

These are some pretty big changes.

Did I just read that King Jaedong Station is coming back in? That's effing crazy. I remember a lot of fun games on Frost too

I can't recall hearing about this either, but I assume from KR players

I guess so. Ever since LotV, Blizzard have been giving time values in old game seconds, even though the game displays real seconds now. My guess is it still runs on old game time, only the values displayed are divided by 1.4.

Why would players that don't play on this map give feedback about it?

The Thor's ground to air attack in Wings of Liberty/Heart of the Swarm game time was 3 seconds. But Legacy of the Void adjusted the game speed to match real time, so the Thor's ground to air attack went from 3 seconds to 2.14 seconds. In the context of your post, Legacy of the Void IS real time. But it is a little confusing that they'd describe the change like that.
I think the important thing to note is that the Thor's alternate mode of fire will have the same attack speed as the other mode, assuming of course I don't have my facts mixed up.

I believe this stems from us playing on the "faster" setting. Values are applied to normal speed, the in-game clock is no longer based off the engine. I could be wrong.

This all looks very, very good.
This update could be the negative of the speed oracle patch.

Beside Cyclone and swarm host.All change seem very good.
We can put mech in TvP aside and address it later cause right now even bio has trouble against P LOL.

the cyclones and swarm host changes indeed don't look too promising but I don't think they can be harmful.
