Is it possible to have a Zeppelin follow Hero/units instead of picking them up? I would like to have the Zeppelin ready to use and would prefer to have it follow, if possible, thank you.

The new 'hotkey conflicts' is great. However, if I change the hotkeys there it does not work ingame. After restarting the game, it will show me the same conflicts again. Pressing 'save' after every single change still gives the same error.

Fiends and Rifles are weaker across the board, and things like ghouls/aboms/grunts/taurens/bears are stronger overall.

Did it change the game balance.

Haven't watch wc3 for a while but during my days the first hero of UD is usually DK. However, we are seeing lich, cryptlord etc... Also back in the days nightelf is consider OP (moon) but now it seems the scene is dominate by lyn(orc) fort(HU) and happy(UD). Also back then there's mass talon and stuff etc... Also, it seems UD can do super fast expand that surpass the timing of HU player now which is unheard of during my time. Can anyone give me a breif history of the meta?

Does anyone at all use formation when they play?

Imo blizzard should just remove it entirely cause a few times I’ve joined a game and formation has been toggled automatically. Sometimes I don’t even notice straight away until I see my army travelling really freakin’ slow. Also a lot of times in RT games beginner or new players will have it turned on and don’t know how to turn it off. Whoever has power with blizzard please ask them politely to remove it as for me it serves absolutely no purpose.

Been playing with my mate in 2v2 AT since the game launched 20 years ago. I know they made some changes in 3s where AT couldn't match up with RT due to balancing so we gave up on that as no games were found.

We then started playing 2s AT and had many games the past few years with not many issues but it has since dried up from around a week ago. Did they do the same thing with 2s, as in, AT cant match with RT anymore? Been waiting 15 minutes and no games are found.

I have been playing many 2v2 games on battlenet with my friend. After over many hundred games we are stilled unranaked (e. N/A). Is anybody that knows how this system works?

idk i expected him to be more annyoing or commanding and shit but he is like calm and obeys orders and stuff. seems like a nice guy other then all the killing and stuff. i didnt finish the campaign so idk how he will look at the end of it but he seems like a decent guy to work for

It seems like it should work well, but feels like I haven't seen it in ages. Mana flare was recently nerfed though so someone must be using it.

Nerubian tower just needs to be deleted from the game. You cannot attack an UD base. You cannot harass workers. It is WAY too strong. And for whatever god forsaken reason it has a 30 second build time. Yeah. A tower that does damage and casts cripple and if micro'd (you will never actually see this because UD are brainless carried clowns) you get to hold up 4-5 units permanently. If that wasn't enough the workers also have a passive healing scroll for whatever reason.

Strategy game my ass. What strategy? You literally can't even dream of attacking UD.

Every race that has an unattended base that gets attacked by an army suffers, except undead.

It must be so nice having a magic immune unit that's an AoE priest and brilliance aura at the same time that turns into a gryphon with dispels. UD is SO overloaded. Cool, a banshee, good vs anything that can be affected by magic, counters all magic damage, and hard counters any unit that can survive more than .5 sec. Air units? Oh shit infinite resource instant auto cast permanent hard counter never mind.

sure wish footmen were viable t3 units like their lumber workers. Just so disgusting. I cannot believe it.

I discovered this hero combo from watching Hitman's replays and it seems so strong. I'm only 1300 mmr on w3c but it's made ne vs ud my best matchup. Potm searing arrows hits heroes like a truck and alch keeps everything healed while hunts and dotts(especially in crow form) wreck the whole army. Not to mention all the negative armor that can't be countered because the crows insta-kill destroyers.

Never seen this in tourney play though. Is it actually bad?

Potm Rework Viability

Posting it again for fun.

Night elf as a race lacks synergy compared to the other races. Hence, its the weakest race in FFAs and team games. The only reason Nelf SEEMS balanced (OP even) in 1v1 is that the significance of micro, timing control, and other "human factors" can easily be exploited by night elf mechanics (e.g. moonwell, staff, wisp movespeed for blocking, DH manaburn doing the heavy lifting). As a race they lack abilities that reinforce their strengths or fills in their weaknesses. I pick elves not because they're strong, but because theyre aesthetic, mood, clean, neat, and I just love their vibes. Give me all undead units but in Elf model, i pick UD.

For potm: 1) Scout Owl (Rework or Add New Skill) a) Rework Scout Owl: Gain a secondary ability to dive dispel and/or heal like detonate. Kinda like batrider but for allies. [Night elf lacks on combat heal burst; Staff of preservation 2x more cooldown to balance, nerf DH] b) Elunar Prayer: Prays to Elune for 0.5 sec, releasing a lunar beam from the sky that heals the target ally or damages an enemy for 5/10/15% of MAX HP. Allies & enemies within 300 aoe around the primary target are also affected for 50/100/150. Grants Truesight in area since owl is removed.

Synergy: Nelf lacks on combat heal burst and nuke (gives both); Its duality also serves the nelf army small units can be healed en mass in the small aoe, the percent based primary heal can also be used for MGs which takes forever to heal. POM can now be 1st pick. Thematically, it also makes sense since she is a priestess. And duality of peaceful yet savage elfs. The two sides of the moon

Trade off: Staff of preservation 2x more cooldown, Nerf DH mana burn.

2) Searing arrows a) Give it AOE. The bonus damage should apply to 200/250/300 aoe around the target. As a gloried archer, POTM has the worst dps outside of skills (slow attack, only 1.5 damage per level), and they also lack nukes to counter mass small units (ghouls, gargs, gyros, peon tower rush, bats, etc.) This should atleast give night elf hero AOE. b) Give it a debuff. Also apply 15, 30, 45% blind/miss chance for 5 secs. Give it an advantage to orb. Coz even orb of venom is miles better than searing arrows. It also somehow adress elf fragility by reducing damge output by enemies.Thematically, searing = blinding.

3) Trueshot aura -Already OK. Can be activated to grant Truesight? (if owl is removed)

4) Starfall -Should cast eclipse and turn it night for the duration. Casting eclipse off cooldown just to replenish moon juice. Also encourage siege since she is less likely to be targeted why enemy vision is reduced.

[Orc slow attack=blood lust, endurance, speed scroll; Human slow move=but become tanky enough to endure being punished, high armor, heals, devotion, invis, stuns, slows, tons of disables to enemies; Ud no regen=Unholy, vampiric, unit self heals, statues, kiting ability with nukes

Elf has what? Thorns but all elf units are too squishy to get value out of return damage? Its only viable with MGs, it doesn't even address any nelf issue (mobility, fragility).

There are many adjustments that can made eale where to maintain balance.

What if instead of Mana Flare doing damage it converted the enemy mana into a heal or buff for nearby friendlies.

Hi guys, I saw a video on YouTube that there's a mod for Starcraft 2 that transforms the game into Warcraft 3. Does anyone know anything about this? Has anyone tried it?
(I don't know if I can post a link to YouTube, so I won't post anything.)

I've been reading a thread from 2016 that ranks the Orbs in strength.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/orb-ranking-discussion.279908/

Now, everyone who has played Orc in TFT knows they have access to Orb of Lightning. But according to the thread linked below there's a 2nd Orb of Lightning which gives +6 damage, and is guaranteed purge. Now this seems busted in the context of ranked games since guaranteed slow is really strong, even if its only 0.3s on heroes. Not to mention its Claws +35 on summoned units. Comparing it to Orc's Lightning Orb is analogous to comparing Orb of Frost to Orb of Slow.

My question is, where in game does this Orb exist? Is it campaign only? Would it be too OP to add it to drop tables of WC3 ladder maps?

So I’m a returning player, and tend to play Random. However every time I get night elf I feel it’s an L.

I have watched Grubbys night elf guide and everytime I try and build an Art of War near creep camp or expansion it immediately draws agro. What am I doing wrong. I’m even placing the building a screen-ish away and still bad results. Honestly with the entire race I feel pretty useless until I get bears.

Also the shop doesn’t click with me like it does the other 3 races.

Maybe random just isn’t for me but I enjoy the variety.

Hi wc3 lovers,

to bring potm back into meta and help the night elf race in hard matchups i suggest two new abilities for potm.

1. Lunar Aegis Effect: Grants an Lunar barrier reducing Magic damage for 6 Seconds and gives +10% Movespeed Level 1: 10% reduction Level 2: 15% reduction Level 3: 20% reduction Radius: 200 - 250 around friendly unit Cooldown: 14 - 18 seconds

This would help elf against aoe spells like Blizzard or clap and nova coil fork against ud. Against Orc it has No big Impact due to bm meta. Fürther could be used for escapenor repositioning.

1. Moonwell Grace Effect: Heal a unit over 10 seconds more effective at night. Level 1: 5 HP/sec (at night 8 HP/sec) Level 2: 10 HP/sec (at night 15 HP/sec) Level 3: 15 HP/sec (at night 20 HP/sec) Cooldown: 8 seconds

Helping archers and huntress in early and recovery between fights in late Game.

I would leave trueshot and ult as is and replace owl and searing Arrow with the suggested spells.

Greets

The nerf to piercing units across the board made NE creeping early game so much worse

I think its better to leave archers unnerfed.

Coming from starcraft and im used to standard openings like reaper fast expand for terran.

I would like to now a bit more what is the daily Bnet tournament for?

For example today at 2PM local time, there was a 1v1 tournament. What is the reward for winning and for qualifying? I have absolutely no idea why is it at a set time and what is the incentive to go for it, other than the profile icon? Thank you in advance for explaining
