Have you seen at how no-name mediocre foreign zerg players started beating Korean pros they never had a chance against before the patch?
It's exactly what turned me away from watching the game anymore last year. This is not how you balance a game. When you look at the winrates pre-patch, ZvT was nearly 50-50% anyway. Even worse, it has made the game just much more boring.
