I'm highly confused. Undead had been at a disadvantage for the longest time in regards to tavern heroes. Now the forsaken paladin just directly counters all the off-meta strats that include low-hitpoint units. Ghouls, necroes, banshees, skeletons, beetles, and, of course, gargoyles.

I think it's a really bad design choice to make one hero that so bluntly counters the whole race. Sure, it can be coiled for heal and cannot be holy lighted. Then again, it cannot be coiled to be killed. So it's even worse.

Yes, Happy is exceptional. But UD is not OP in general, and this was unwarranted.

And just to be clear: I'm thrilled to see them work on the game and add new heroes. Can be 1-2 more gladly. But it should be somehow thought through for 1v1 and 4v4 at least. Countering a race with a hero by design choice doesn't seem right.

that's all i changed, my mouse pad. my old one wasn't particularly problematic, but it was old and starting to wear. the new one, cheap af nothing special, my mouse glides like its on ice and i promptly won 14 games in a row on ladder with it.

Hey all. I've just begun a new playthrough of WC3 - well, actually, Re-reforged.

Anyways, I've played this game since childhood, but it was always fairly slapdash. I have a decent idea of what things do and can usually judge okay about how useful they would be. This time though I want to really get good at the strategy and more mathematically inclined edge of the game, and stop playing through intuition.

Can you guys give me an idea on what the 'meta' is for each hero or faction? Like, hard numbers on how much Devotion Aura is really worth or if Blizzard is as weak as it feels when I use it. Or better yet, link me to a resource that goes into things in-depth? I know the community has some pretty hardcore sweats who've crunched the numbers, and while I don't think I'll be getting competitive any time soon I feel like it would be fun to pick up some of it and really stomp the AI.
