seems it could be real someone posted on the forums
I also can"t see why someone would go to all this trouble to make fake notes

 

ROACHES GOT FINALLY NERFED PROPERLY! WOHOOO! Excuse the caps lock but I just had to.

Immortal and Carrier changes I don't think were called for. The force field energy cost increase I am unsure about.

Otherwise I think pretty good balancing.

 

wow, these come out really quickly, don't they?

i never really considered the marauder that OP as a general-use unit. doubling the gas cost is huge... maybe they want people to use more marines in the M&M mix?

and huge immortal nerf. wow.

 

Well, these changes haven't actually happened yet so I'll be waiting to see if this actually happens.

Although I must say, I'm pretty happy about the nerf to the roaches and maruders, more so the roaches. I have to agree with Boson on the Immortal change, I don't really like it, i don't think there was a good reason for it. As for the sentry energy change, I'm not happy about that at all. That's actually a pretty huge hit to protoss players. Before you could simply warp in a sentry and it'd already be able to use forcefield once, so it was very versatile and easy to get a force-field up. Now with the energy change, that's not going to happen.

Of course, these changes still haven't happened so I won't think about them to much until I see they are. But it does seem to be pretty good balancing.

 

Yep no patch yet so don't get too excited.

 

i cant belive it they just fixed sc2 perfectly AWESOME PATCH IS FREAKING AWESOME!

 

Working on confirming these changes.

 

I agree with some of the changes especially with the roach but i dont believe these are legit, lots of spelling errors unless blizz realizes this. Also the bug fixes seem a little.. preposterous.

 

Yeah, Blizzard doesn't spell "Armored" as "armoured." Whoever put this together was British.

FAKE

 

Yeah haha I spent a minute or two looking for a "patch 8" on the interwebs and found nothing.

 

Canadians spell armored as armoured =(
I'm Canadian! LOL
Though I do like these patch notes if they were ever implemented, some of it is not bad.

 

I don't get, why would one want to fake a patch?

 

Those changes would be good..! I like them all, but it smells fake.
Especially now that Jon has checked it out.

 

Everyone except the Yanks uses a variant of British spelling. Your culprit could be Canadian, South African, Australian, Welsh, Irish, Indian, etc.

Closed because of fake-ness!
