We’ve just published a new Balance test map titled Dusk Towers (3.1.3 Balance v1.0), which was created to explore some potential changes we’re investigating for Legacy of the Void. These include the following:

• Ravager’s Corrosive Bile
  • Damage changed from 60 to 45 damage (+15 vs bio)
• Siege Tank
  • Damage increased from 35 (+15 vs armored) to 40 (+20 vs armored)
• Liberator
  • Casting range of Defender Mode reduced from 5 to 4
• Medivac
  • No longer can lift Siege Tanks that are in Siege Mode

We encourage you to head on into the Balance Test Map to test these changes out! To do so, simply click this link if you have StarCraft II installed. To find it manually instead, enter Multiplayer and navigate to Custom. The Balance Test Map will be at the top of the list under ‘Top Played.’

We’ve also updated the Extension Mod for balance testing, so that you can play around with these changes on a variety of maps. Those of you who are interested in trying out the Extension Mod can do the following to get started:

1. Navigate to Browse Maps on the Custom Games menu
2. Select a map and click the Create with Mod button in the lower right corner
3. Choose to sort by Blizzard Mods from the dropdown list at the top of the screen
4. Select the “Balance Test Mod” Extension from the list and then hit Create Game

If you're interested in the StarCraft II Balance Team's reasoning behind these potential changes, you can check out Senior Designer David Kim's Community Feedback Update.

We’d like to remind you that feedback based on playtesting is the most helpful information you can share with us at this time. We kindly ask that you spend some time playing games on the test map before offering your thoughts on the changes listed above. We look forward to hearing your feedback and please remember that none of these changes are final.
