Betaversionen av Legacy of the Void har under veckan fått en större uppdatering och mycket av tidigare ändringar har fått utvecklarna att tänka om och återgår till gamla inställningar.

Först ut, Terran får en ny unit, något som Blizzard har sedan tidigare lovat. Liberator är en flygande unit som byggs i vanlig ordning från Starport och kommer innefatta splash damage mot både Air och Ground, dock kommer det inte fungera samtidigt. Samtidigt som Liberator läggs till kommer den nuvarande funktionen där både Vehicle och Air delar uppgraderingar att delas upp vilket kan försämra Mech, vilket i sin tur gör att spelare inte kan gå både, till exempel Siege Tanks och Banshees med höga uppgraderingar till en lägre kostnad.

David Kim, från Blizzard förklarar mer ingående om LotV-tillägget i ett blogginlägg:

"The Liberator is a large, high-cost air unit that deals splash damage against its enemies in the sky. The liberator normally can’t attack ground, but it can target a specific ground area in order to deal high burst single-target damage to any unit entering that area. This ground attack only targets units, so structures can’t be hit with this weapon.

We want this unit to make the Starport more rounded along with the other changes we’re bringing into Legacy of the Void, like the banshee movement speed upgrade and the Battlecruiser Tactical Jump ability. By introducing this unit to the Starport and separating out the Terran mech vehicle and ship upgrades, we think it’ll allow for a more diverse set of strategies for the Terran. It will be difficult to upgrade all three of the Barracks, Factory, and Starport tech routes, so we’re hoping to see a good variety of mixed tech units depending on the matchup and strategies players choose to go."

Utöver Liberator, ändras även nuvarande inställningar så som att Gas Geysers ändras till 2000 gas, Burrow movement ingår inte längre från start till Roaches utan kräver uppgradering, Turrets kan ej byggas utan Engineering Bay, samt flertalet buggar har blivit lösta. Mer om detta hittas en rad längre ner.
