this patch doesn't contain much, but I thought I should post this up anyways.
obviously, the part that sticks out is Protoss upgrades. i'm glad to see Lv2 and 3 upgrades finally getting rescaled for Protoss weap/armors, and cheaper shield upgrades I would've said was pretty much necessary at that point. you could get Lv3 Zerg Melee at the same cost of Lv1 shield, or a Mothership at the same cost for Lv3 shield.
i don't really have any thoughts on the EMP nerf. it's probably more balanced now, since the utility on that thing is amazing as it is.
