StarCraft II patch 3.7.0 is the seventh major patch since patch 3.0.0.

General

  • A new commander, Nova, has been added to Co-op Missions.
    • Nova is a new hero that can be controlled on the battlefield. She has two modes she can swap between – Stealth and Assault.
    • In addition to her presence on the battlefield, Nova can also manipulate the battle with her top-bar abilities to support her small force of powerful operatives.
    • Nova is available as a standalone purchase for all players.
    • Two new emoticons are included with Nova’s purchase.
    • For more information, see our blog.
  • A new tab, Collection, has been added to the main navigation.
    • Collection is a new section in the StarCraft II user interface that consolidates all of your earnable in-game content under a single umbrella.
    • Browse and equip rewards, or purchase new ones all from this new one-stop location in the UI.
    • Collection has the following sub-menus: Skins, Announcers, Emoticons, Portraits, Decals and Animations.
    • With the arrival of Collection, Announcers have been added to StarCraft II!
      • With Announcers, you can now enjoy your multiplayer games with the voices of your favorite StarCraft II characters!
      • The Collection UI allows you to preview a set of sample voices for each Announcer, and they’ll be available for use whether you’re playing as Terran, Zerg, or Protoss.
      • The release of Patch 3.7 includes 6 new Announcers available for standalone purchase:
        • Abathur
        • Alarak
        • Artanis
        • Kerrigan
        • Raynor
        • Swann
    • 3 new Skins have been added for standalone purchase that can be used in StarCraft II multiplayer games:
      • Upgraded Marauder
      • Evolved Roach
      • Advanced Stalker
    • Worker units now have a “spray” ability for their decals, which gains a charge every five minutes, up to five total. Sprays can be applied on any pathable terrain, and each player can have up to five sprays on the map at any given time.
    • Portraits can now be displayed in place of a clan logo at your town hall. Now you can show off your most highly prized portraits in-game!
    • For more information on Collection, see our blog.
  • StarCraft II Ladder Improvements
    • Separate MMR per race has been added to the StarCraft II 1v1 ladder.
      • The StarCraft II 1v1 ladder will now track a separate MMR value for each race, including Random. This means that players can now earn separate ranks for each race.
      • At the start of 2016 Season 5, players will be required to complete 5 placement matches for each race to place into the ladder, even if they were active the previous season. This is a one-time requirement for this season in order to ensure ratings accuracy.
      • Players can now achieve the rank of Grandmaster with more than one race.
      • For more information, see our blog.
    • Additional StarCraft II ladder changes:
      • To ensure continued accuracy of GM rankings, the activity requirement for both GM and Archon GM has been increased from 10 games every 3 weeks to 30 games every 3 weeks.
      • For new players, the promotion experience has been made more gradual, reducing the likelihood that a player might receive one big promotion after their initial 25 games.
      • It is now possible for new players to be promoted at any point after completing their 5 placement matches.
      • The Ladder tab on the Score Screen will no longer have an empty MMR progress bar. It will display the League and Tier represented by your current MMR.
      • Your name is now highlighted when viewing the Contender or Grandmaster player list to improve ease of viewing.
  • League and Season APIs have been added.
    • A new League endpoint lists all the Tiers and Divisions for a given league.
    • A new Season endpoint provides information about the season with a shortcut to the current season.
    • More API improvements are coming. For more information, see our forum post.
  • The WCS GameHeart extension mod has been updated to provide a graph display of stats over time.
    • Press “Numpad 1” to show a running “Income Advantage” graph between both players.
    • Press “Numpad 2” to show a running “Army Size” graph between both players.
    • These new graphs are available in 1v1 mode only.
  • A new portrait has been added for winning a 1v1 Testing game.
