Q1
Do you think the current patch (1.21b) requires changes?
Night Elf
  Satiini | Yes definitely, minor balance changes are required because some matchups are still not balanced, but most of all item changes are required much more than racial balance changes. For example, experience tome, the item that gives a clear undeserved advantage to the other player, this item should be nerfed to minimize luck factors. And some red creep camp drops like vampiric aura are way too good and deciding in some matchups |
  Zeus[19] | Current patch is bullshit, Human is bullshit, orc is bullshit, undead is bullshit. |
  hanf | Sure it does, I think Undead-Elf matchup is broken right now, Panda is still too strong (even if it would break ne-ud more), tanks are still too strong, Blademaster is still too strong and some units are still fucking useless, like hipporider, UD caster, mgs, etc... |
  SocceR | I think every race needs a slight change. Human’s ivory tower, repair speeds, tanks, etc. Talons need a nerf, and AoW creeping should be nerfed too. For Orcs, spirit links and BM needs to be nerfed, and for Undead the Frost wyrms shouldn’t be so powerful. |
 WinNers | Yes, the Blademaster, Ensnare and War stomp should be nerfed. Orb of venom should be nerfed and Dryads should be giving 40 xp instead of 50 since it’s the main unit of the NE army; giving more XP would just allow UD heroes to be leveled faster. Staff of preservation should also have a longer cooldown. Ziggurat armour should also be increased, and the Necropolis should be built faster. |
Human
 ReprisaL | Not really, even with the new patch coming, I'll just adapt and play accordingly |
  DeMusliM | Yes I do think it needs changes. I think that certain races have adapted to maps so well that every possible strength and weakness can be shown. For instance - Nightelf on EI using their tech+expo+map control strat with dark ranger is very powerful, and Human on LT etc it goes on. I believe new maps are in order and so it turns into race vs race rather than strength against weakness. And certain units - are just used too often :) or buildings in a Human’s case. |
  SonKiE | Yeah it needs changes - Warden, Panda, DH, maybe a slight nerf to towers, Dryads and staff of preservation. |
 Rainbow | Nerf Raider's Ensnare, very fast unit itself and too long duration of the skill makes the game very hard to do game-management in time. |
Orc
 FoCuS | I was hoping that they would nerf the repair speeds since Human tower rushes are too good. So I’m pretty satisfied with the new patch. |
 Lyn | No. War stomp is too powerful. And too many Human players are towering as well; it should be nerfed. |
  Ciara | Sure, minor changes. It’s hard to change something in this game, since one change in 1 matchup, could ruin other matchups completely. My changes would be, little more cost on Drayds, more xp for Steam tanks, and maybe 1 more armor for burrows, and 1-2 armor more for Ziggurats. |
  Fly100% | I hope that there will be more elements added to the game. For example, new items, new maps, etc. This will freshen up the game with lots of new strategies. |
Undead
  FuRy | Im pretty happy with it, some maps are horrible though, like Gnoll Wood or Echo Isles where Blademaster can get buffed beyond belief |
 Naniwa | I think the game will always need changes, because it's really hard to balance the game with four races, such as Steam tanks, towers with Masonry and Ensnare. |
  Happy | Maybe Blademaster should be nerfed (especially his critical ability) + maybe nerf stomp a bit (in matter of stun time of course). Also towers should be nerfed somehow, either nerf its armor + hp either make the time of upgrading longer. But still, I think current game balance is okay, even without the patch -_- |
 Susiria | Yeah, I thought some balance was required to the current patch. Undead seems to be the weakest at the moment xD |

Demuslim most of your comments are rly not biased, and near truth, but sry i dont agree with you about map control. Human has best map control with expo towers, the destruction of enemy expo, tower rushes, militia creeping, overall creeping, militia fighting half way round the map. Sry, but your statement about elf map control is ridicoulus.
