Give cryptlord and dreadlord some improvements. Also frost wyrm, fiend, abomination and meat wagon. Make web in t1
Great Patch. I love these changes! Seems you really thought about the balance this time 
Please just stop giving crazy buffs to Blademaster. It is one of the most contentious hero, dominating from start to late game. Even in the current state, blade storm can kill multiple surrounding towers, moonwells and ziggurats. Orc players are too hasty and tempted to use it to kill units even when the situation might not be the best, that’s why it does not look overwhelming. Honestly, many other heroes have underwhelming ultimate, for example, Mountain king often prefers lv 3 Stormbolt or Bash to Avator.
well theres a simple fix there make the effect not stack. Hero auras granted by items already don’t
Also I agree I have no idea why they thought blademaster needed a buff. It’s already the most infuriating hero to deal with as Human especially, it is literally impossible to not lose at least one peasant to a BM harass, even if you build a tower before they arrive.
it was only Bladestorm that was buffed, which was a pretty poor ultimate for its cooldown
The Elf heroes, few units and buildings need buff and rework.
- Demon Hunter: return +1 agility.
- Keeper of the Grove: Keeper of the Grove base Intelligence from 18 to 19 and Entangling Roots cast range on 700 with lvl 2. Increased treants damage base from 14 to 16. Thorns aura also work equally against melee units as well as long-range units.
- Potm: Owls Scouts buff like more duration and base attack cooldown reduced from 2.33 to 2.00. Hide: duration for Potm from 1.5 to 1.0 second. Same hide duration for hunts, archers to 1.0 second.
- Warden: Buff agility and intelligence from 20 to 21 and 16 to 17 accordingly. Fan of knife unit from 4/5/5 cap to 5\6\7 and fan of knifes damage per target from 75/125/190 to 85/135/200. Hide fade duration from 1.5 to 1.0 second.
Buff hp for wisps and back for them mana lose to units heroes from 40 to 45 and hp from 120 to 130. Was buff hp for peons, acolytes and peasants so please buff hp for wisps too.
So now about units.
Dryads: Bring back Abolish Magic damage against summoned units 300. Reduce the experience gain Dryads from Level 3 (60xp) to Level 2 (40 xp).
Druid of the Claw( Bear Form): return and add +1 attack damage for druid of the Claw(Bear Form).
Mountain Giant: Make it so that produce MG’s without shop. Also give for Mountain Giants Resistant Skin or Hardened Skin default and Mountain Giant supply reduced from 7 back to 6. Recuced for mgs from 14 to 7 second cooldown taunts. Harderen skin from 8 to 10 armor. So i think 10 harderen skin armor enough with 2 base armor.
Chimaera: movement speed return from 250 to 270.
Now about the buildings: Tree of lifes buff Nature’s Blessing Armor Bonus on +2.
Nature blessing upgrade cost reduce from 150 gold 200 wood to 100 gold and 150 wood.

Oh nice! A Patch!!! :*O
I would suggest DH -2 agility and roll back the mana and DPS of immolation. Also, stop buffing WD it is already too strong. Roll back moon well is another option. NE is too strong overall.

imho i still think the Spiked Carapace is the worst skill in the game.
Not only are its bonuses unimpressive but you are also giving up on either Impale or Beetles.
And if you go CLord first you have no realistically effective way to heal your tanking CLord (sacrificial dagger is a joke for hero healing).
I would much rather see the “damage reflect” part of that skill removed and replaced with a large amount of passive health regeneration.
And frankly same goes for Dread Lords vampiric aura - i would love to see the HP regen from unholy aura move to vampiric aura.
it is good that they at least fixed the bugs and added back multiplayer saving. the balanding is not really relevant to me, as i mostly play custom. the bug fixes is very welcome.
Make Bladestorm ult 10s, not just 7s.
The biggest problem with the game is the atrocious FPS in Reforged mode. There must be a memory leak or something. I’m getting like as low as 20FPS and terrible stutters.

The Ladder doesn’t even work properly - total incompetence.
I just wish they’d at least post some rationale for balance changes, rather than just list a bunch of random stuff with no context or reason.

someone said that we need more RNG in this game 
FIX FPS pls.
In 1.35 i have 220-300fps, for now its 100-150, and too many freezes

very few monitors can actually display 200+FPS, you aren’t losing anything whatsoever at 100FPS. How elitist have we become where most games were designed to run at 60FPS, we complain when we get only 100?
(edit to remove quotation marks, since they were for emphasis but apparently are being taken as implying an actual quotation from the post above)
Freezes mean your storage device is slow or you or your GPU doesn’t have enough RAM, or there’s a memory leak that’s gone unfixed, which is certainly plausible but doesn’t have much to do with FPS.
While I did see a decrease in FPS from .61, I don’t experience any freezing or stuttering. So it sounds to me like you have an insufficient hardware problem for that side of things.
That said: Please check out the test of the next patch on the PTR. I’m seeing significantly higher framerates on the PTR compared to even the previous PTR version. So there’s at least a possibility that it will improve things.

and this brushing off of issues is exactly why you find yourself under fire so often

I’m not “brushing off” issues, other people are making them seem bigger than they are. And since yelling at Blizzard is the cool thing to do, it’s easy for everyone to ride that bandwagon. If people made sensible comments and reported on facts, I wouldn’t have any problem with it. Yes, even I had a performance difference similar to what this guy had (minus stuttering). The game is perfectly playable at 100-150 FPS (It’s playable at 60FPS, for that matter). Anyone who claims otherwise is a gaming elitist.
Yes, I get it, it’s the principle of the thing, performance shouldn’t be degraded regardless- on that point, I agree. I just find it bizzare that a entirely acceptable performance level is being described as “unplayable” or otherwise worse than it is. Exaggerating a problem isn’t going to compel a fix. If someone is “stuttering,” that’s a seperate issue entirely that can have a multitude of causes that have nothing to do with a CPU or GPU.
But this is all dodging the issue of “have you tried the PTR yet?” because in my experience, there is a significant improvement on the new PTR patch. Maybe yall should check it before continuing to rant, especially in a thread about the incoming patch, of all things.
