For players

Your whole game, covered

From the moment the game loads to the profile that tracks how you play: one app, on your computer, for every game you play.

01Before your game

Scouting

Know your opponent before the first worker moves

When a W3Champions 1v1 starts, a card on your opponent opens over the game, built from their public ladder history and score sheets.

  • Their MMR, form and streaks
  • Their record against your race, on this map and against you
  • Their usual first hero and hero pairs
More on scouting

02During your game

Build orders

Your build order, floating over the game

A small panel stays on top of Warcraft III with the step you are on, its time and the next ones. Its clock follows the game by itself, and your clicks go through it to the game.

  • Clock synced to the game, pauses included
  • Global shortcuts for the next and previous steps
  • Write a build by hand, or get one from a replay, a W3Champions match or a build page link

03After your game

Game reports

An honest report after every game

After each game the app reads the replay, and the W3Champions score sheet when there is one, and tells you what won it or what cost it, with the numbers behind every line.

  • What went well: hero fights, army trades, economy, creeping, tech
  • What to work on: supply blocks, missing upgrades, no answer to their air or casters, few workers, a late expansion, idle production and more
  • Both players' numbers side by side

04Between your games

Profile

Your profile, and anyone's

Your MMR and its line, your strengths and what to work on from your last games, your matchups, maps, game lengths and first heroes. Search any player on W3Champions for a quick look at theirs.

  • Strengths and things to work on, each with the numbers behind it
  • Built from your ladder games, on Battle.net and W3Champions
  • Look up any player before a game or a cast

Fair play and privacy

Made for the ladder, not against it

  • Fair play

    In your own games the app never shows what the game hides from you: no enemy units, no fog of war, no enemy resources. The opponent card uses public ladder history from before the game. The full picture appears only when you observe a game or watch a replay.

  • Runs on your computer

    Replays are read on your computer and never uploaded. There is no account to make: the app reads W3Champions' public ladder data for your BattleTag, if you add one. Only if you join the leaderboards does it send your name, flag, race and achievements.

  • Anonymous statistics, your choice

    The app counts launches, which features are used and when something goes wrong, with no names, BattleTags, builds, replays or files. Turn it off any time in Settings, Privacy.

  • Free

    Every feature is free. If the app helps your games or your casts, you can support it on Ko-fi.

Questions

Good to know

Is it allowed on W3Champions?

It shows only what you could find yourself: your build, your opponent's public ladder history, and after the game your own replay. During your games it never reads or shows anything the game hides from you.

Do I need a W3Champions account?

No. Build orders, reports and the stream overlay work without one. Your profile and achievements need your BattleTag (Battle.net players too) and come from your 1v1 ladder games in your replays. With W3Champions you also get your MMR, rank, the score-sheet findings and the opponent card.

How do I put the stream overlay on my stream?

Open the Stream overlay tab, choose My stream or Both, then click Add to OBS (OBS 28 or newer), or paste the stream overlay's address into OBS as a browser source (1920 x 1080). Pick a preset or make your own layout; OBS follows every change.

What do the leaderboards store?

Nothing until you join: Settings, Profile & reports, Show me on the leaderboards. Then your BattleTag (the site shows the name without its number), flag, main race, and for each achievement you unlocked its date, which ladder it came from (W3Champions or Battle.net), and your progress counts. Turning it off deletes all of it at once.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet: today W3 Companion is for Windows 10 and 11.
