Each player that comes to this forum is either looking for help, or making a goodwill effort to give us a heads up. Be kind to each other .

While we welcome feedback, this forum is not the appropriate location to discuss intended gameplay mechanics in depth. At times we may venture into discussion territory for the purposes of clarifying a report, but in general, feedback posts will be moved to our General Forums, where further discussion is encouraged.

Do not bump posts without adding new or relevant information to the initial report. Should you wish to report that an issue is still occurring, please make a new posting after a reasonable amount of time has passed.

Report each bug individually – We request that each bug you submit have its own posting, so that we can ensure a proper analyst investigates the contents of it. Bug “lists” need to be passed from one type of analyst to another, which can complicate getting validation on your report.

• Creep camps are easier to see on the minimap.

User Interface

• Sepia tone backgrounds in Classic mode have been reverted.
• The “Use Command Button for Hotkeys” on Mac now functions as expected.

As part of our ongoing work on Warcraft III: Reforged, we’ve just made an update to our matchmaking system. There is now has a wider band between the lowest value and the highest tracked values. This allows for player skill to be more accurately represented, especially for very high skill players. With this change, a 5000 matchmaking rating (MMR) should now represent a player who is rated higher than 50% of all players.

Additionally, in the Free for All system, each player’s MMR will now be updated based on their placement in the game. Players in first and second will typically gain matchmaking rating while third and fourth will lose rating. However, the players in second and third will receive notably smaller MMR changes than first and fourth, and it is possible for second place to lose MMR or third place to gain MMR depending on the disparity of MMR between players in the game. This change should help increase matchmaking accuracy for Free for All games.

As this was a change to our internal systems, there will not be a patch for players to download. The update was automatic.

Thank you.

Banewoodbog LV Disabled Bug Report

Greetings Denizens of Azeroth, Since the patch yesterday, we’ve noticed that Banewoodbog LV is not a true melee map due to a change to the map that removed the melee ruleset. To alleviate the impact to the players, we are going to disable the map from the melee map pool until we resolve the issue. Thanks, Torelef
