The patch was supposidly meant to be put on the test servers today but ""At the last minute we found a problem with the patch which could break the installs of a small percentage of users."
Let us hope this is not a sick joke by Blizzard as the Warcraft3 community has waited long enough.
Here are the Patch Notes for 1.22:
Features
* There is now a replay auto-save feature in the options menu. Replays
are automatically saved to the "replay" folder.
* Added an option to always show unit and building health bars.
* You can now enable and disable the display of minimap signals
from players and other observers using chat commands:
/showminimapsignals and /hideminimapsignals.
Balance Changes
Human
* Scout Tower repair rate changed from 12 to 20.
* Knight damage increased: Attack cooldown changed from 1.50 to
1.40 and base damage increased from 25 to 28 (Average damage is 34).
Undead
* Increased Ziggurat base armor from 1 to 5.
* Reduced the build time of the Necropolis from 120 to 100.
Night Elf
* Reduce the Orb of venom poison duration from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
* Increase the experience gain from Dryads from Level 2 (40xp) to
Level 3 (60 xp).
Fixes
* The cooldown on unlimited usable items (example: the staff of
preservation) now persists after the item is dropped or traded.
* A cooldown exploit with potions has been fixed.
* When you unburrow a Crypt Fiend, its auto-cast will no longer be toggled
off.
* An exploit bug in which items could lose their cooldowns when transferred
between heroes has been fixed.
Additional Maps
Furthermore, these 4 new contest winner maps will be included in the final patch, but not on the PTR:
* (2)MeltingValley
* (2)RoadToStratholme
* (4)CentaurGrove
* (4)TidewaterGlades

No changes to Raiders ensnare, I liked the idea someone posted of "sure footing" where a raider can't mass ensnare the same unit.
Sad no new hero after all this waiting. To be honest no MAJOR changes, apart from dryads now more xp (which people complained about a lot) and the change to staff of preservation cooldown.
* An exploit bug in which items could lose their cooldowns when transferred
between heroes has been fixed. - nice
I wanted more changes!
UD players will prolly like this patch ~~ we`ve been waiting soooooooo freakin long and this patch looks like its only work for about 4 days for a decent 5 person balancing team.
I wish this crap was the April fools joke.
2 years for this? Why in the name of god do we need a beta server for this?
No changes to orc? Buffed hu/ud?
gl guys
This means a single peasant needs 20 seconds instead of 12 seconds to repair a tower.

how can you stop Human fast expand?? ist a joke Malystryx or?
Good to see a sane post amidst all the unjustified whine :)
A lot of your complaints have to do with ignorance. Scout tower repair rate is NERFED, which will help orc and elf immensely vs tower pushes, and also help vs towering expos(for instance gargs will be better vs hu fast expo now). Ziggurat armor buffed = only the unupgraded ziggurat, spirit\nerubian towers already have 5 armor. Ziggurat armor was nerfed from 5 in an old patch for no apparent reason. The only thing this will do is make ud better vs "laming" like tanks or raiders killing zigs. 1 sapper still kills a zig. Also make it a liiiittle bit easier to set up an expand(and we all know ud expo is already way imbalanced).
Knight buff was pretty damn big really, but I guess the staff nerf makes hu tier 3 quite a bit weaker anyway(it hurts hu staff much more than elf staff since hu staff is more expensive and they nearly always have 3 heroes, while elf have 2 usually).
God... FAILURE.
this got to be a joke
