Original Post by actiontrip.com

As promised last month, the first feature and balance patch for StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is going to land next week - Tuesday, September 21, 2010, between 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. PDT.

The Patch 1.1 is going to bring numerous improvements including additional mod features, Editor improvements and bug fixes, some custom game improvements, support for NVIDIA’s 3D Vision, and more. Blizzard stated: "We'd also like to share some specific plans for this patch with you. To begin, we've heard a lot of feedback from our global community about standardized hotkey options. We're happy to announce that in patch 1.1 we are going to make the Standard (US) and Standard for Lefties (US) hotkey options available in all regions."

Here's a bit more info about the update:

Balance Changes
We have several balance changes in store. One general change we're making is that friendly units will no longer provide vision after being killed. Enemy units previously revealed will no longer be targetable. Now let's break down the additional balance changes we're implementing.
Maps
We're going to be adding destructible rocks to the Desert Oasis map to make natural expansions easier to protect. In addition, the center map watchtower area is being narrowed.
