2.5 Year Later Warcraft 3 Reforged Gets Missing Features
Blizzard Entertainment will finally respond to the requests of Warcraft 3: Reforged fans and introduce some long-awaited features in the upcoming patch 1.33.0.
Despite being released in 2020, the remaster called Warcraft III: Reforged didn't win recognition among fans of the original from 20 years ago, but the refreshed version of the classic has gained a certain group of players. Some time ago we wrote that perhaps it is because of them why the developer has not yet buried the project. And so, after almost two and a half years from the debut, Blizzard Entertainment has listened to the requests of players, by releasing to public tests a patch significantly improving the title.
Patch 1.33.0 introduces to Warcraft 3: Reforged several features, including ranked games, player profiles, leaderboards and more. Below you can see the detailed list of fixes that the patch brings.
List of changes in patch 1.33.0
Ranked games
- Players can now choose to play in ranked or unranked mode.
- Seasons have become available. After a season ends, the ladder is reset.
- In order to be ranked, players must play five matches with a particular race.
Rankings
- Players can now see their position in the leaderboard, which can be accessed from the Versus screen.
- The leaderboard can be filtered by username and sorted by race and game mode.
Player Profiles
- You can now access your profile by right-clicking the player icon at the bottom right of the screen.
Campaign
- Numerous improvements and game balance changes have been made to many of the campaign maps.

By the way, it is worth noting that, according to the developer, testing of the patch will last about 2-3 weeks, after which the team will analyze the data received from players and proceed to the official release of the stable version.
Let's hope that this patch will breathe new life into Warcraft III: Reforged and be just the beginning of the improvements that developers from Blizzard Entertainment are preparing for the players.
