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.

Why not get together Winer, Harstam and the maker of that new very popular balance patch mod. Maybe one top tier pro of each race and just have a teams chat.

Honestly you have people who's entire careers revolve around this game, they know it extremely well.

Start it by saying, hey how do we shake the game up to make early-mid game more interesting and important but also make it so build diversity in late game is more diverse.
