While we do not have any interface and statistic update yet, the changes do improve the game itself.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing is what Warcraft 3 is about and adjusting the meta and spinning back the feedback of the community and the PTR servers is great. The matchups for 1on1, especially for<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Human vs. Undead<\/li>\n<li>Orc vs. Night Elf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>have been massively improved. This will be great for the pro scene and for every 1on1 match out there.<br \/>\nI think it&#8217;s a good patch and the changes are not too big or too small. What I like about the new forums posting from Blizzard is that they say thank you to ESL, Dreamhack and also to Back2Warcraft for supporting them.<\/p>\n<p>BTW:<\/p>\n<p>Its funny to see that they react to the community, for example about the foot prints! \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/patch-1-32-5\/\">patch 1.32.5<\/a> I made fun about the footprints here:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprints-warcraft-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"433\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprints-warcraft-3.png 860w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprints-warcraft-3-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprints-warcraft-3-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprints-warcraft-3-30x15.png 30w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprints-warcraft-3-150x76.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><br \/>\nNow they add jokes to the patch notes:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprint-jokes.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"42\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprint-jokes.png 750w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprint-jokes-300x17.png 300w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprint-jokes-30x2.png 30w, https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/footprint-jokes-150x8.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to great patches in the future, you will find every single one in the <a href=\"https:\/\/gaming-tools.com\/warcraft-3\/patches\/\">Warcraft 3 Reforged patch overview<\/a>.<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Warcraft 3 Patch 1.32.9 page, here you can find all details of the changes.
