Human ：
Piercing damage nerf weakened Rifleman tactic. Minimal impact vs Orc, but insufficient damage against NE Bears. Extremely difficult vs Undead (UD) – reduced early-game strategic depth and limited opening choices often lead to disadvantageous positions.
Orc：
Headhunter nerf lowers strength across all matchups. Pandaren Brewmaster nerf further ORC vs HUM.
Night Elf (NE):
Archer HP buff fails to offset damage reduction. Huntress nerfed to “weakest state in NE history”. Crushing early-game pressure may require hotfix. Pandaren Brewmaster nerf devastates NE anti-air, leaving them defenseless against air units (unfixable by Goblin Tinker). [Neutral Tavern Note: Few viable heroes for NE beyond Naga Sea Witch]
Undead (UD):
Least affected by piercing changes. Patch is a net buff for UD. Only Fiend openings in mirror match weakened. Piercing adjustments benefit UD in ALL matchups.
TH000’s Conclusion:
UD: Primary beneficiary – strengthened universally.
HUM: Harder vs UD, slightly better vs ORC/NE.
ORC: Struggles more vs HUM/UD.
NE: All matchups harder. Pandaren Brewmaster nerf nearly catastrophic.

①: When Undead (UD) faces Night Elf (NE), the Crypt Lord’s Impale (C) combined with the Lich’s Frost Nova (N) plus Destroyers spamming against Bears—one every few seconds—can be described as an all-round air, land, and sea strike against the Hippogryph Rider + Druid of the Claw (Dryad) composition.
②: When Undead (UD) faces Orc, the fierce Orcs are reduced to running Wind Riders and fighting guerrilla warfare. Wind Riders get freely damaged by the N+C combo upon contact, and their frontline collapses at the first touch.
Looking at the matches, it’s always Undead pressing against the opponent’s main base, treating the enemy’s main base as the main battlefield!
At 30 population, they can directly upgrade to Tier 3 with no vacuum period at all. Their unit transition is the fastest, and their base is as solid as a fortress.

Th000 is drunk or what?
What the hell is the undead buff if fiends have a piercing attack, and it was just lowered even more?
At the same time, hipporiders became even stronger. Accordingly, it is even more difficult to play against hipporiders with fiends.
Don’t pour him any more drinks.

it is ridiculous Seeing you and so many others on the forum still think that the patch is strengthening the Night Elves. That is what he meant
The balance of this version will definitely deteriorate, it’s just that people like you can’t see it

What’s been done to the undead simply defies adequate explanation. It’s just horror. They’ve been castrated to the fullest extent.
Any weak elf with 50 APM can now easily bend a good undead who will micro on 300 APM, knocking yesterday’s food out of his keyboard.
In 4v4, this is most noticeable, because it’s very easy to assess the strength of a strategy there.
Why do you think all the noobs now started playing paladins with riffles?
Why do all the noobs now like to put an elf and just make mass hipporiders or mass huntresses?
Where have all the undead noobs gone who used to easily kill everyone (in 2010-2017)? Hint: they just changed their race.
Th000 is now just talking absolute nonsense.

Refuting your meaningless viewpoints is a waste of time
you won’t be able to refute anything. You don’t have your own opinion at all, you can only copy someone else’s opinion.
