Co-op:
General:
Reverted the change to enemy AI in which they target spawner units instead of the units they spawn.
Dev Comment: The change we made to make the AI smarter against spawner units did not really get us the best results and additionally caused some aberrant side effects.
Alarak:
Dashing Charge no longer targets cloaked or burrowed units without detection
Fenix:
Solarite Dragoon:
Solar Cannon and Solarite Flare cooldowns have been reduced from 8 seconds to 6.
Carrier:
Interceptor build time increased from 10 seconds to 15.
Starting Interceptor count is increased from 4 to 5.
Interceptors now benefit from Karax's Energizer Chrono Beam and Zagara's Frenzy.
Dev Comment: We reverted the AI change mentioned above that was directed at Fenix's Carriers. In order to address the feedback that the Carriers are too cost effective as damage soakers, we looked at the interceptors. We would like to keep the interceptors cost at 0 and allow them to be built automatically in coop so we are increasing the interceptor's build time instead. We increased the starting interceptor count to compensate for the initial ramp up time.
Conservator:
Weapon Range increased from 5 to 6.
Protective Field:
Casting range increased by 2.
Purifier Conclave:
Added a tooltip that shows how many available shells are available once you’ve researched an AI personality.

Increased their shields by 1.
Decreased their attack range by 1.

Tactical Data Web Bonus Increase from +10 to +20 damage per Colossus.
Clolarion:
AI Research Cost Reduced from 200/200 to 200/100.
Dev Comment: One of Fenix's main themes is having powerful champions leading the way into combat and never truly falling because they can instantly transfer into another shell. With this in mind, we are making some targeted changes to help make this a powerful playstyle for Fenix. Champions will have more armor, shorter attack range, move faster, and gain improved Tactical Data Web bonuses. The result should be champions rushing into the front lines, soaking up damage, transferring into a new shell and repeating the process until the battle is won. We are exploring some changes to the “Avenging Protocol” upgrade but we’re not ready to share details at this time. We also lowered the costs for a few of the champion upgrades to get them in the fight sooner.

GENERAL:
The StarCraft II Ladder Revamp has arrived. Read on for a list of highlights!
Your matchmaking rating (MMR) is now displayed in various screens throughout the StarCraft II user interface.
A new Ladder tab has been added to the Score Screen that displays both you and your opponent’s matchmaking rating (MMR), as well as the changes in rating from the outcome of that ranked match.
A progress bar is also displayed on the Ladder tab that shows your progress towards promotion.
In addition to the new Ladder tab, MMR is also displayed on the Division screen in Profile > Ladders > Current Season > Legacy of the Void.
New League Tiers have been added.
Leagues are now divided into three tiers: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, with Tier 1 being the highest and Tier 3 being the lowest.
Your tier represents how you rank relative to other players within that league. For example, a player in Silver Tier 1 is closer to a promotion into the next league (Gold) than a player in Silver Tier 3.
The visual look and feel of the ladder system has been refreshed.
A new promotion screen with 3D fanfare has been added.
League badges and league portrait borders have been updated to display your current tier.
League badges and league portrait borders have new colors and animations to make them more visually distinct.
4 new animated banners have been added to represent your standing within your division.
The mechanics of Grandmaster have been significantly overhauled.
Promotions and demotions in GM now happen daily at a scheduled time:
At 5:00 PM server time, the bottom 5% of GM players will be removed.
Players who are eligible for GM will be in the new Contender ladder.
Anyone logged into StarCraft II can view the players present in Contender ladder to follow along with who might be promoted. Navigate there via Profile > Ladders > Grandmaster > 1v1 Contender or Archon Contender.
At 8:00 PM server time, the top players of the Contender ladder will be promoted based on their MMR and activity eligibility for GM.
In order to emphasize the accuracy of GM, players are ranked based on MMR instead of division points. Bonus pool has also been removed.
Players who have not played a minimum of 10 games every 3 weeks will be automatically removed from GM.
GM will open one week after a new season begins.
Additional changes:
The new target league distribution breakdown is
Master: 4%
Diamond: 23%
Platinum: 23%
Gold: 23%
Silver: 23%
Bronze: 4%
Improvements have been made to the estimated rankings of new and returning players. In the Score Screen’s new Ladder tab, this is described in the tooltip as “Provisional MMR”.
Bonus pool accrual rates have been tuned for team matchmaking modes to make them more competitive
1v1: no change
Random Team: 50% reduction
Arranged Team: 75% reduction
Archon Mode: 75% reduction

BATTLE.NET
A “Ladder Maps” option has been added to the Browse dropdown menu in Custom Games. Selecting this option will filter the map list to display only the melee maps that are being used in the current season of the ladder. The map pool from each matchmaking queue can be displayed by selecting 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 from the “Category” dropdown menu.
A Technology column has been added to the Score Summary tab on the Score Screen.
USER INTERFACE
Two new custom observer UIs called “Split 1v1” and “Streamlined” have been added to StarCraft II and can be accessed by default from the Observer Interface dropdown in the Gameplay options menu:
Split 1v1: A slightly more graphic-intensive interface that reorganizes player names, supply counts, and resources across the top portion of the screen.
Streamlined: A lightweight interface that only displays resource counts in the top-right corner of the UI. This UI (or community variations of it) is commonly used for WCS broadcasts.
A “Units Lost” overlay has been added to both UIs. This can be toggled by pressing Shift + L and is currently only available in the Split 1v1 and Streamlined UIs, but modders can add this overlay to their own custom UIs.
Both UIs are .SC2Interface files that reside in the StarCraft II\Mods folder.
The game now reads .SC2Interface files from both the StarCraft II\Mods folder as well as the original My Documents\StarCraft II\Interfaces folder. It is recommended that modders continue to use the “My Documents” location.
Improved Replay Scrubbing
When watching a replay, it is now possible to drag the slider to any point in the replay timeline. When dragging the slider to a point beyond what has been watched, the screen will black out, pop out the minimap, and quickly fast forward to the specified time.
Clicking the Play button cancels fast forwarding and resumes replay playback.
Dragging the replay slider backward now begins playback at the exact time specified.
Two new zoom levels have been added to the observer camera which let observers zoom out much further than what was allowed prior to Patch 2.0.10:
Zoom Level 1 Hotkey: Z
Zoom Level 2 Hotkey: Shift + Z
While zoomed out at either of these levels, the mouse wheel will not change the zoom level. Only pressing the hotkey again will zoom the camera back in.

Define symmetry for a map using Map > Map Symmetry. This includes rectangular, diagonal, or rotational configurations.
Toggle the symmetry line overlay display with View > Show Terrain > Show Symmetry.
Toggle symmetry mode with Tools > Use Symmetry. When enabled, most brush and selection operations will be automatically duplicated in corresponding symmetrical locations.
Use Edit > Select All Symmetrical to select all symmetrical objects corresponding to the current selection.
Symmetry applies to everything except for regions, cameras, and roads.
Note: Due to grid alignment requirements, not every operation will be exactly symmetrical for every configuration (especially odd-numbered rotational segments.)

The HDR Multiplier property can now be modified independently from Custom Color.
Data Module
The “Effects” array in Effects Sets is now upgradable.

Set Filter: Set, clear, or toggle specific filter flags.
Set Filter Players: Set, clear, or toggle specific “filter players” flags.

General:
Leagues & Ladders
A new Grandmaster League has been added for 1v1 ladders. This league represents the Top 200 players in each region.
Players are automatically drafted into the Grandmaster League shortly after a new season starts, and will remain in the Grandmaster League until the end of the season. If a Grandmaster player’s available bonus points get too high due to inactivity, they will be automatically removed from the league and a replacement player will be drafted in.
The Grandmaster League can be viewed by all players through the new Leagues & Ladders > Grandmaster page.
The bonus pool has been reduced for arranged teams.
Leagues will now be locked during the final weeks of the season. As a result players will not accumulate additional bonus points and will not be promoted or demoted out of their current division during this period.
This will allow players to focus on moving up in their current league without being promoted during the final weeks of a season, and having to fight their way up from the bottom ranks of their new higher league.
Players can still utilize any bonus points they previously accumulated.
The hidden ratings used to determine player promotions and demotions will continue to update during the lock; however, these ratings will only be used for match-making until the new season begins.
Ladder data from the prior season can be viewed through the new Leagues & Ladders > Last Season page.
New league icons have been introduced to indicate division rank. These will indicate the Top 8, 25 and 50 players in each division.
Loss counts are no longer displayed in Profile and Ladder pages for players below Master League.

Recently Played: The last several games you’ve played are shown here. Use this to quickly get back into games you play often, or to easily bookmark a game you enjoyed playing.
Bookmarks: Use this page to view your Bookmarked maps.
A search option has been added to the Join Custom Game interface.

New panels are now available when observing or viewing a replay of 1v1 games. These panels can be toggled via hotkeys which are shown under the Leader Panel drop-down.

Stat Comparison Panels: Shows a head-to-head comparison of players' resources, army supply, units killed, or APM.
In 1v1 observed games, both players’ resource rows are shown in the upper right at the same time.
The main game UI can now be hidden/shown via hotkey.
You can now toggle between player unit colors and team unit colors when watching a replay or observing.
Game Options:
A new Control page is available from the Options menu. You'll find Mouse, Keyboard and Scrolling options within this new page.
