EPTBut as it stands, both of these heroes can take quite a beating, deal a lot of damage and also have access to escape abilities in the form of Wind Walk and Evasion. It's too much, and it's especially effective against creeps which leads to ridiculous situation of a BM+1 grunt creeping an orange or a red, or a DH soloing spots, etc.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/warcraft/Agility I think, your suggestion might be a bit too gamebreaking, so I would love the see more changes to creeps/items. But I think, we might not agree 100% on the direction balances should take Warcraft 3. | ||

I think a lot of my logic regarding what to do about DH/BM is based around the fact that both heroes are essentially invincible at key parts of the game. Moonwells and salves certainly play a role though. | ||

But I think, we might not agree 100% on the direction balances should take Warcraft 3. Good point. I think a solution then would be to either limit those changes to the BM and DH, reducing their overall armor for each level without applying the change to every single agility hero, or to buff the other heroes somehow. Perhaps make the Fire Lord move faster, increase mana gain for the DR, etc... But I think the simplest solution would be to focus the changes on the DH and BM, as they really are the most problematic. | ||

Wouldn't that make the BM and DH atrociously OP, even with less armor? They would attack super fast and we'd see more crits than ever. | ||

I mean it would all depend on the numbers but I was thinking in MOBA terms where AS is generally more valuable on ranged heroes as they're less likely to be kited. I can't recall if there are base attack speed/armor values in WC3 but if there is that might be a better place to start (lowering BM/DH base values, raising the others) I think Crit in general is a prime target for balance tweaking anyway. My suggestion was independent of that. | ||

The game needs no balance, the maps need the balance and the creep spots. | ||

I don't think I'm aware of any scene where the scene is dominated by someone with so little motivation and aspiration. I don't blame him as a person, but I find his success annoying because of him flaking/not caring. I guess it's not his fault but other motivated people not matching and overcoming him, I guess. I am amazed how he can be that strong while being almost bored by the tournaments, he seems to have the same level as before, a true monster. | ||

i think the july 3 remaster announcement is not likely because they'll have just finished sc1 remaster, i cant see them announcing something officially unless they have a lot of the game done already. BUT, i am pumped for the PTR....and then soon we'll get the promised land....the Big Patch! | ||

BUT, i am pumped for the PTR....and then soon we'll get the promised land....the Big Patch! Watch the interview with the classic team. BW was an absolute nightmare to remaster. Tons and tons of stuff was basically hard coded and a lot of the things like libraries and whatnot just didn't exist. There were also resources they straight up could not find. They had to rebuild a lot of the game. From what they described, it couldn't possibly get any harder than BW. WC3 would likely be significantly easier to patch. | ||

There definitely have been hints that a patch is coming sometime, but I'm not holding my breath here. Blizzard take a long, long, long time to get things done. I'm also not buying too much into the idea of a remaster. Graphically speaking, the game looks fine. It's pretty ageless, unlike BW. It would probably be best to update the infrastructure around WC3; BNet, the delay, matchmaking improvements and the likes. If they choose to do that I hope they don't do it in a way which compromises the spirit of WC3 though, as old BNet was beast. | ||
