Warcraft III: Reforged Patch Notes
Version 1.32.9 – October 21, 2020
After extensive testing and careful observation of multiple tournaments, we’re happy to release this Version 1.32.9 Balance Update. This Balance Update focuses on changes to improve the Human vs. Undead and Orc vs. Night Elf matchups, with some quality of life changes and some long outstanding community requests.
Thank you very much to you, the community. You were instrumental in guiding these changes. The feedback we received through posts, videos, and tournaments were greatly appreciated.
We’d also like to thank Back2Warcaft, Dreamhack, ESL, WCG, WGL, and all of the community contributors who produced amazing games and content during these times. Your feedback was invaluable.

Once again, thank you all of the amazing feedback you’ve given to us through this PTR. The online posts, streams, and videos have been extremely helpful.
In today’s new PTR build, we’re making a few adjustments to specifically help the Human vs. Undead matchup. We’re also reverting all previous changes to promote late game air.
Although we want to increase the viability of all units, we feel with the current scope, it would be too risky to release these changes into the live environment. We hope to revisit this after the current meta has settled down with the existing changes planned.
Please remember these changes are a work in progress and subject to change. And again, thank you for your continued feedback!

We would like to thank everyone for providing very valuable and passionate feedback. Going into the first iteration of the PTR, the Warcraft 3 team knew some of the balance changes may have been too extreme. However, we wanted to test the impact of the changes and gauge community feedback.
In today’s iteration of PTR, we’re scaling back on some of the changes, as well as including some additional changes that were highly requested. Please remember these changes are a work in progress and subject to change.
We plan to do one more balance pass before this patch goes live.
Thanks!
The team has been keeping an eye on recent tournaments and after careful
consideration and internal discussion, today we’ve patched the PTR to include the following additional changes and updates. Our focus has been on:
Thank you to Back2Warcaft, Dreamhack, ESL, WGL, and all the community contributors who produced such amazing games and content during these times. Your feedback has not fallen on deaf ears.
