The update now says the game will be unstable without an update (to Yosemite). I don't want to switch operating systems. Game is now unplayable so that's it. I'm done with the game unfortunately.

I just ignore the warning and keep going. AFAIK HOTS requires at least Lion or Mountain Lion.
I had better performance on Mavericks using my 2010 MBA as opposed as having Yosemite.
I really do not understand Blizzard pushing players to update to Yosemite when it is clearly a "defective" OS and not as optimized and stable as Mavericks or El Cap the "Snow Yosemite" version.
Apple still provides security updates for Mountain Lion and one of the main arguments from dropping Snow Leopard was "Apple no longer provides security updates."
I'm on a Mac and it keeps prompting me to update but I just ignore it. Performance has been normal. No noticeable changes
Well you had a good time. All things must end.
I don't know why you don't want to switch, but you should know that the installation is seamless and does not wipe anything.
After installing Yosemite I noticed a big performace increase from HoTS. And I have a fairly old computer (2009 iMac). So I would recommend you taking this small step.
