Kerrigan

• Kerrigan's initial birth time has been reduced from five minutes to four minutes.
  • Base Trait.
    • Life steal increased from 25% to 30%.
  • Level 3 Talent
    • In addition to doubling the damage of Leaping Strike, it also doubles the damage of Psi Shift (from 50 to 100).

    • Generates 100% more gas than before.
  • Immobilization Wave
    • Cooldown reduced from four to three minutes.
    • The 100 damage it does is now dealt up front rather than over 10 seconds.

  • Hydralisk

Vorazun

• Mind Control energy cost increased to 150.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the group list displaying groups players were not part of.
• Fixed an error that appeared on Macs after making a graphics change and restarting the client.
• Fixed a localization issue with the Replay UI.
• Fixed an issue in the Profile > Ladders > Current Season page where the Grandmaster start date would be displayed incorrectly.
• Fixed an issue where Widow Mines were dealing damage inconsistently to Immortals.
• Fixed an issue where Medics in Co-op Missions could sometimes become stuck trying to heal allied Zerg buildings and not properly move past them. The intent was they only heal Zerg defensive structures. The proper fix will be made in a future patch, but for now, Medics will no longer autocast heal on Zerg structures but can be manually told to do so.
• Fixed an issue where some editor options could be used outside of the Test Document.
