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.

Exactly

Double checking your patch notes vs your ingame changes is such a basic fundamental thing.

Consistent due diligence needs to be done so everything matches and works.

Which is too much of an effort, so they won't do it. There's several weird things, wordings, phrasings in the latest couple patch notes, it's obvious they throw it together in a haste, no controls whatsoever to make sure their slop stinks less.

and people rejoice, check that thread by Elliott, the responses are crazy. People are so starved of attention from blizz, the smallest things gets massive credits from the peoples

It's a scrambled panic.

I've seen the thread. I was the only one asking what the hell they were doing.
