Another patch, maybe one of the last before the release, has been released for the Heart of the Swarm Beta. Several units have been tweaked such as Oracle and Widow Mine.Zerg players will be happy to see that they can get Overlord speed a lot faster, they will also like the buff for the Spore Crawlers, but the nerf to Fungal Growth's projectile speed will surely cause some tears. The duration of Envision, a skill of the Oracle, has been buffed and the Terrans will get a bit more damage for the Widow Mines against shields.
Full list of changes
Some of the recent changes make a lot of sense as the buff for the Spore Crawler should fix problems against mass mutalisks, but other changes do not make a lot of sense regarding balance. Bigger problems, the community told Blizzard about, remain untouched yet, but might be fixed once HotS is released.
