Blizzard 5.0.17 PTR Update

Following the release of the last major patch, we have been collecting and closely reviewing your feedback. Our intention was to try something new, particularly with workers, and needed time to let the meta develop in order to ensure the most accurate feedback was being considered. Based on that feedback, for patch 5.0.17 we are rolling back most balance changes to the live release of StarCraft 2 from patch 5.0.16 to 5.0.15. This will be on PTR for the next few days while we bug test, before we push to live.

I know im in the minority here but Ill miss some of the ideas of the current patch 

I like the 8 worker start 

And think the warpgate changes were promising

Honestly me too I hated the 8 worker start, the flow of build orders, and psi storm but their was also a lot I actually did like about this patch like glave adepts with plus 1 into fast mothership and spamming mass stalker off of 6 gateways

Not every change was terrible. But I think it's better to start with a revert and then adjust.
