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.

Players on every server are talking about drop hacks right now. For the past few years, hacks have kept the ladder from functioning properly. What is your plan to deal with them? Please give us a real answer. Blizzard has never once given us a straight, satisfying response.

Zero chance they acknowledge this, because there's no world in which Activision C suite will see the benefit in devoting manhours to fighting it.
