Patch 1.1 coming this September

That's right folks, the long awaited balance patch, probably the first of many to come, has been vaguely dated to come out in September.

In a piece of news that does not leave much to the imagination, Blizzard has announced several changes they plan to implement to the game in order to balance it out a little bit.

First of all, they will increase the building time of both reapers and zealots, since their usage in rush strategies is, in Blizzard's eyes, "stronger than expected" in various levels of play. Another unit bound to suffer the nerf stick is the siege tank, with a huge damage nerf coming its way.

The ultralisk's Ram attack will be eliminated because Blizzard has detected, as had been shown already, that this attack actually deals less damage than the normal attack for it only targets a single target with no splash. This, paired with a nerf in its damage, seems like the ultralisk will now share some of the spotlight with the broodlord. Or maybe not, who knows.

Not to mention that Blizzard also gave hints as to probable changes in other aspects of the game, such as the addition of destructible rocks in "Desert Oasis" to make the natural expansion and strategies related to it, more plausible. Dead allied units will no longer give vision, previously revealed enemy units will no longer be targetable, custom game improvements and many more changes are to be expected in this first balance patch.
