Yep. Blizzard really has to do something about the ammount of patches.
Nothing wrong with the number of patches.
They have a VERY good system and WarCraft 3 really showed how much time and effort they were willing to spend to solve unit imbalances. Part of the whole hit point, damage type, armor system was to make it easier to solve unit imbalances through monitoring B.Net games and whatnot to discover what was being overused and what was underused.
Probably the best balanced RTS game around despite having 4 races.
I'm glad that they support their products for years at a time. They know that continual support keeps communities alive. Thats why StarCraft continues to be one of the most popular RTS games around despite the fact that its now several years old. Its a cash cow really...with so much popularity over a product several years later, think of how much of a built in audience Blizzard has for the next big RTS game (particularly if its StarCraft).
