basically im just about to re do warcraft 3 and make it to patch 1.27b. i still want to pvp and i know reforged has had more patches.
Reforged is in a good balance shape overall.
Previous balance was attrocious.
Reforged may lack feature and QoL, but it’s a lot more balanced at least.

It may be more balanced, but to answer the question it is way different. There are significant tech tree changes, such as the Tauren Totem being available with a Stronghold rather than a Fortress, and same with Reinforced Defenses and Spiked Barricades last upgrade (which now only has 2 upgrade levels and was basically buffed). Then you have seemingly random or out of place changes like Spirit Walkers being built from the Tauren Totem rather than the Spirit Lodge, the Great Hall giving 11 food instead of 10, Gargoyles given a brand new ability that allows them to prioritize attacking air units, and the Orb of Fire becoming an anti-healing item.
Of course there have also been many unit stat/attack and spell changes, some pretty significant like what an attack or spell can target, or halving the duration of an ultimate ability but doubling the damage per second. Also if you care about Reign of Chaos balance/mechanics, it’s no longer an option for multiplayer and custom games. It only remains in the RoC campaign missions in classic mode (not Reforged mode).
