Starcraft Beta Patch 5 Live

Check out the information on the latest beta patch here.
You'll see the Warp Gate research now takes way longer to research. More than twice the time, 140 seconds from 60. Apparently Warp Rushing was too OP.
Weakening of the Zerg also seems to affect mobility, with increase of cost and build time of Burrow, as well as doubling the build time for the Nydus Worm. Also, the Hydraliks attacks more slowly. The burrowed infester moves more slowly, and it's parasite has been weakened significantly (it can't attack air now, and has shorter range.)
Overall, the game seems to have been slowed down a bit.
The Zerg and Protoss are now less powerful, which lines up with what Dustin Browder said in his interview with VG247 the other day. He said "Terrans are down in 1v1 versus Protoss and Zerg," and "Terran-Terran teams are also taking a hit in almost every match-up." He also said "The Terrans lack some of the mobility to come rescue their allies in the early game" which explains the increased time to research Warp Gate research and to construct Nydus Worms, and to some extent the other Zerg adjustments.
