Warcraft 3 Best Race To Play

This ranking of the best races in Warcraft 3 Reforged is based on the average win rate of that specific Race, since Undead tends to have the highest out of the 3 we place it higher. Keep in mind that is not just as simple as Undead > Night Elf > Orc > Human, players skill level and the matchup can affect the match drastically.

Tier	Race
Best	Undead
Average	Night Elf, Orc
Below Average	Human

The Best Race Matchup Counter

As we mentioned earlier the matchup can play a big part in the game, as a simple example when you play Human Versus Undead did you know that you can cast Heal on enemy Undead Units/Heroes to deal damage equal to that heal. That is just a simple example there are more nuanced strategies that would take more time to go into detail with. Below we list each Race and what we think are Counter Matchups based on their average Win Rate versus 1 on 1.

Race	Is Weak Against
Orc	Undead
Undead	Orc
Human	Undead, Night Elf
Night Elf	Orc, Undead
