But the skills are based on RNG too, for example the Mountain King's Bash or the Blademaster's Critical Strike. Not so much the items you might get from creeping, that's sort of an interesting RNG that is necessary if you ask me, there should be some luck (although some items can definitely give a huge advantage, usually the Tome of Experience - an item that gives a sizable chunk of experience to any Hero who consumes it - puts you ahead or helps you catch up as Hero levels are quite important).
Other than Orc vs Undead, I would say the other instances of unbalance are based on RNG. Orc vs NE and Orc vs Human are also pretty tough on the Orc, and Human vs Undead is pretty tough on the Human if they do not fast expand, although players have learned to cope with it and those match-ups are largely balanced nowadays. That particular situation is pretty much the biggest and I would say only example of bad balance.
For instance, Orc vs Undead is a notoriously hard match-up for the Undead, and it is probably the most unbalanced one in the game too. It is certainly not massively unbalanced, but it has unfair situations and very difficult ones. Truth be told, I don't believe WC3 is balanced. Add that to the fact that you have a food limit of 100, and you'll quickly learn that you have to be efficient with your resources in what you choose to make.Ībout match-ups. That applies to workers gathering resources, the gold you get from creeps and the gold you'd get from selling items. Whenever your population goes over 50 and 80, you'll have low and high upkeep, meaning the amount of resources you earn will be reduced.
Taking an expansion in WC3 puts you at risk whether you fast expand or do it later, because it will either delay your tech or reduce your army. Players don't take as many expansions and sometimes no expansions at all. I wouldn't say the economy in WC3 is dumbed down, it is just different. A game of WC3 takes a very different route than in SC2, notably because the fights go on for much longer - it is in fact not unusual to have games that are 90% made of fights, sometimes the two players have constant exchanges all throughout the game.
SC2 focuses on macro, timing, strategy and multitasking while WC3 focuses on micro, handling battles, a lower dose of strategy and a different type of timing (that is a very narrowed down list of concepts, there are many more of course but this is enough for a basic explanation). WC3 is radically different from SC2, each game emphasizes completely different aspects of the RTS genre. After that, you'll learn with experience and more practice. If you watch a few replays of the race you wish to play and go practice in games, you'll quickly have a clue of what to do in the early game. WARNING: Long post basics of WC3 are quite easy to grasp.
