seems pretty good to me, especially the extra ladder maps, because I felt there were not really a lot ladder maps.

But also the cooldown for MULE is cool and the faster zerg OL who can create creep while moving (if im reading it correctly)

omg ovie speed increase ^^

This means overlord scouting gets way easier / better. Also larve cost less energy means more creep and ovie can move while spreading creep means even more creep

I already love this patch

chronoboost getting a cooldown proves it's fake, since saving up energy would be of no use what-so-ever.
queens still have transfusion/creep tumor and orbital commands still have scans and supply drops to use the excess energy with, but nexuses have nothing. they might as well just remove the energy cost for chronoboosts
fake notes

So many of these changes seem massive that I can only think that they are fake notes.

Chrono cool down makes sense. Afterall, it's not fair that zerg inject larva and then can't again for another 20-30 seconds. A terran can piss off and come back and throw down 4238947 mules. Definetly not balanced.

You'll get just as many imbalanced map match ups in favor of you as you will against you. I see no reason why maps would be a big factor in why you would play random. :P
