Twenty years after the last additions to the Tavern, Warcraft III finally has a new neutral hero: the Forsaken Paladin.
And, naturally, much of the early discussion has revolved around the obvious question: is he overpowered? Maybe. Maybe not. But that is not what I want to discuss here. This is not a balance article. Numbers can always be changed. Maybe Sacred Aura needs different values. Maybe Consecration needs some tuning. Maybe Cleansing Fire turns out to be completely ridiculous once professional players discover how to abuse it. In fact, considering what usually happens when such a big change is introduced, I would be surprised if somebody does not find some completely broken strategy during the next few weeks.
Time will tell. What interests me much more is the design of the Forsaken Paladin and, in particular, the doors that Sacred Aura may open. I think Blizzard has given us something Warcraft III did not know it needed.

The Undead dominance in the Dolphin Warcraft Super League reignited the community’s ever-beloved balance debate. Inspired by this event, and taking advantage of the fact that the latest patch is already live, I decided to share some thoughts on how we might approach balance whine discussions in Warcraft III.
In September 2024, a Warcraft 3 fan reached out to professional players, sponsoring a handful of showmatches to help them prepare for an upcoming offline event. One year later, that same fan had become the driving force behind a global tournament ecosystem that spans elite competition and grassroots development — supporting both world champions and rising talents. This is the story of HF_Haituntun, organizer of the Dolphin Warcraft Super League.
In the most recent patch for warcraft 3 Breath of Fire got some significant changes. The spell saw a fairly dramatic reduction in its initial and maximum area of effect in addition to some "compensatory" increases in damage values. While I have seen streamers try to do a “visual test” comparing the old and the new breath of fire in-game. I have not yet seen a detailed breakdown in what these changes actual entail in terms of pure numbers. As such, this is an attempt to do just that.
