Upgraded Stalkers will not get the added boost from upgrades. To me this seems like they are trying to make Stalkers more attractive for an early-mid game and less useful in mid-late.
I have to say, I approve of this change. Stalkers always felt strangely ineffective early on, since their damage against light units like marines and zerglings was so low.
The stalker is meant to be weak against zerglings and other first tier units, this change makes them more effective against them. I'm confused on blizzards insight on this change, because it lowers their effectiveness in late game vs Armored Units/Buildings.
