New patch for Warcraft

Battle.net

Recently, Blizzard announced a new patch for Warcraft 3. After many months of "flame wars", this could be an important step to more balance and some fresh tactics.

Although we don't know any exact date yet we can say that the patch will be done within this year, including bugfixes, a better protection against hackers and also some changes in balance.

Feel free to leave a comment here, but also in the forums of battle.net and tell them what you think is not perfect right now and what should be changed.

Here are some suggestions from the community:

-Rifleman should have + 20 hp like it was before.
-ivory towers only 2 available at shop down from 3.
-Buff orb of fire somehow.
-Tanks can't get armor or attack upgrade like obsidians statues or kodos.

-Dryad gold increase by 15 gold and experience increase by like 10% maybe. Buildtime increase by 5 sec.
-Manaburn coldown should be like 8 seconds.

Editors Opinion
Andy Kanz -
It's not much but atleast it shows us that there are some persons still talking about Warcraft and not WorldOfWarcraft, hopefully they add some new items and also maps to the ladder.

If Blizzard actually listened to the community it would screw up the game totally. Blizzard gotta find their own way, and I'm sure they will. (although some proposals seem quite reasonable, Blizzard gotta see it as a whole)

Yeah I personally think its a waste of time reading most of those suggestions on the forum, as they would screw up the game totally. Blizzard should rather listen to some sort of council of perhaps 10 pro gamers playing different races, and add some of the changes they have in mind.. Even small changes often changes the game more than one would think.

#5-They won't do whatever forumers want. In the sea of bad suggestion, sometimes one or two are good.

And since all pros say:"the game is balanced, the skill is what counts" this would lead to nowhere ;D

if you change any small value you edit the whole game, but blizzard will think about that for sure and they'll be careful enough..

#5 spot on

If it starts with the pros then it will naturally saturate down throughout all of the skill levels of wc3. would be good =)

I hope they add a new tavern hero. That can make the game more interesting. Some balance will be nice too. Anyway they will do whatever they think is right.

I think that's exactly what they do. I saw Rotterdam talking about it in a replay.

I think it will be a good patch providing that some things should be changed
about #5 you got reason
Grubby in a interview I read, I don't remember at the moment he said drayds are too cheap and they should give more experience, and here you have:
- Dryad gold increase by 15 gold and experience increase by like 10% maybe. Buildtime increase by 5 sec
(2 years ago)  #16 wtfomfgbbq
 
remove Improved Masonry upgrade completely or make it so that it doesn't apply to towers and maybe even farms
HU tower repair rate is sooo imba make it slower
and if they're gonna nerf dryads then nerf gargoyles too... right now gargoyle air attack dmg is too high........heck hippos ONLY attack air and cost about the same but how come gargs have higher air attack? Make it so that hippos > gargs so NE isn't forced to go dryads vs garg harass like 9 out of 10 times they're forced to vs gargs on big maps..
as for orc i wanna give em a small buff but idk how without completely ruining the game balance ;/

I really hope they will nerf the human mass towers abuse, and wind riders (not much)

By doing that, i think destroyers could get a smaller nerf, and that would make human vs Ud way more fair and fun, while orc vs Ud would remain the same...

I'm undead, and only focused on my own race, when making these wishes
(2 years ago)  #18 wtfomfgbbq
 
as for TR close spawn imbaness, how about make it so that HU can only use militias AFTER they get 1st hero? Then we don't get those 3min games which are just ..... cmon Blizzard even u guys saw in your own tourney top 2 NE players completely falling to little militias........ and it's even more horrible to play against then watching it trust me

i believe the balance changes will be, like in the patches before, too small too make a big difference.
and think about it, the game is pretty nicely balanced so why risk having to do another patch shortly after?

Well why don't they just watch the pro games ?? They'll directly see that some units are just not used (like ud casters) and some other are overused (like pandaren), I think that's the way to make the tactics more and more inovative.

For exemple I think that NE is actually great because every kind of unit is used and has both strenghts and weakness well balanced.

I think they need to add a 'Find DotA' game button right beside the custom game button... but that's just me and I'm horrible at ladder :)

Personally I think the game is fine the way it is. Only changes Id ask for is some balance fixes on certain maps and maybe a new tavern hero.

adding a dota ladder would be cool idea.

The game is as balanced as a drunken trying to run in a straight line.

erase a dota would be nice idea.

zzz some low class dota

No matter we love it or not, Dota players are much more than wc3 at this time. The reason is simple, wc3 is too hard for many while Dota is pretty easy and noob-oriented. Moreover, Dota is getting more important entering major tournaments. A Dota ladder and search button would be really cool!!
