Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with High graphics settings that could cause particles not to render.

 

Protoss received another nerf but for good since Protoss vs Protoss is heavily imbalanced in favour for 3 warpgate zealots strategy. Even a base with 3 gateways cannot keep up in production to a 3 gate warpgate. The Hydra attack cooldown will certainly help for PvZ and TvZ since Hydras in high quantities are dangerously strong. With the previous change of the infestor, it was turning battles towards Zerg side very easily and the nerf was for the better. The longer build time for Nydus would allow the opponent to react faster and defend accordingly in time.

In short, Zerg got a general nerf while for Protoss, the nerf was specified to fix the PvP warpgate issue which doesn't really affect the other race matchups. No changes for Terrans as of yet but we might see somemore changes to Zerg.
