Blizzard releases patch 1.22
The long awaited and highly anticipated patch 1.22 for Warcraft 3 has finally been released.
Aside from several interesting balance changes, Blizzard has also added a few congenial features for better gameplay, and new ladder maps.
Players will now be able to save replays automatically without using a third-party program.
The entire patch log is available below:
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patch 1.22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURES - There is now a replay auto-save feature in the options menu. Replays are automatically saved to the "replay" folder. - Added an option to always show unit and building health bars. - You can now enable and disable the display of minimap signals from players and other observers using chat commands: /showminimapsignals and /hideminimapsignals. - The game is now automatically saved in the event of a potential disconnect. These saved games are placed in the "save" folder BALANCE CHANGES HUMAN - Scout Tower repair rate changed from 12 to 20. - Knight damage increased: Attack cooldown changed from 1.50 to 1.40 and base damage increased from 25 to 28 (Average damage is 34). UNDEAD - Increased Ziggurat base armor from 1 to 5. - Reduced the build time of the Necropolis from 120 to 100. NIGHT ELF - Reduce the Orb of venom poison duration from 10 seconds to 8 seconds. - Increase the experience gain from Dryads from Level 2 (40xp) to Level 3 (60 xp). FIXES - The cooldown on unlimited usable items (example: the staff of preservation) now persists after the item is dropped or traded. - A cooldown exploit with potions has been fixed. - When you unburrow a Crypt Fiend, its auto-cast will no longer be toggled off. - An exploit bug in which items could lose their cooldowns when transferred between heroes has been fixed. ADDITIONAL MAPS Furthermore, these 4 new contest winner maps will be included in the final patch, but not on the PTR: - (2)MeltingValley - (2)RoadToStratholme - (4)CentaurGrove - (4)TidewaterGlades |

Hmm okay, but unfortunately barely no improvement on the tallons vs. orc strategy.. however, good for Moon!! ^^
I'm curious about how the changes work on HU vs. UD. Mb the undead-expansion now stands a chance + HU expanding should be slightly more difficult. However, I cannot understand how they could not change the experience lvl of tanks (they are exp-lvl 1, aren't they?).. takes hours to kill one and gives less exp then a grunt.. T_T Pull me down again and guide me into pain.

They still kept the weird (and plain false) desc
The repair RATE has been _REDUCED_. A rate is how fast something is changing/occuring. Since the towers now need a lot more time to repair, the rate at which peasants are repairing the tower has been reduced. The repair TIME, however, has been increased... Also:
Haha, _could_ lose their cooldowns ><. Every item with a cooldown lost their cooldown as far as I can tell. This is actually a pretty serious nerf to the staff of preservation and teleportation for Elf... (they use that combo a lot to staff out heroes and get them back). ~edit Uhm, when I update via Battle.net it says my game version is 1.22.0.6328... Did some dev put a beta build online :D?

I think you forgot the most important change, especially for DotA:
"- The game is now automatically saved in the event of a potential disconnect. These saved games are placed in the "save" folder. " | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

UD>HUM (towers and staff are bad now)
UD>NE (very fast dk lvl5, but elf can play hyppo -_-) ORC>UD (blademaster not fixed, raiders not fixed, no armour added to DK) ORC>HUM (towers cant be repaired fast at towerrushing and expanding) NE>ORC (nothing changed with talons) NE>HUM (towers cant be repaired fast at towerrushing and expanding and staff is bad now) human is baddest race now. Great patch. And items like tome of exp didnt removed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
