Of the most significance is the increased range of the Protoss Archon in addition to being a massive unit, as well as the building times for Zealot and Stalker being returned to normal. The Terran Thor has also been returned to one of his previous states, now having energy instead of Strike Cannon cooldown.
General
- The default hotkey to toggle in-game music on/off has been reverted to its hotkey prior to Patch 1.3.0. The hotkey to display APM in the observer stat panel has been changed as a result.
