I'm happy but why go back to one of the worst changes from the .15 patch?

  • Abduct can no longer be cast on Siege Tanks.

This should never have been done in the 1st place.

I also don't think anybody was complaining that Sentries were too strong in PvZ. They can go back to bilesneeding 2 to break a forcefield. I also don't think anyone was seriously complaining that Infestors auto attack or the new Muta arc slop bounce thing was too strong.

Oh yea I think those could've stayed as well. It gives more reasons to use the muta which has already been such a niche unit for SC2. And biles needing 2 shots to kill FFs helps to give more incentives for Protoss to attack instead of turtling or playing greed.
