StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void New Patch Adds Changes to Raynor, Kerrigan, Vorazun, Co-op Missions and Bug Fixes

One of gamers' favorite additions to StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void expansion is the Co-op Missions and game developer Blizzard has rolled out Patch 3.1.3 to bring tons of changes to this feature including tweaks on game's characters plus a number of bug fixes.

In a post from LazyGamer, Legacy of the Void's Co-op Missions is perfect mode for gamers who want to enjoy RTS with a partner. However, it is stressful for gamers especially when they are already on the higher difficulty levels.

Blizzard is listening from the community feedback that they made changes to the game and now, the game developer outlined the details of these changes coming with the new update. Below are the full patch notes via Starcraft 2 official website:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the group list displaying groups players were not part of.

The intent was they only heal Zerg defensive structures. The proper fix will be made in a future patch, but for now, Medics will no longer autocast heal on Zerg structures but can be manually told to do so.
• Fixed an issue where some editor options could be used outside of the Test Document.
