Vision Mod is quality control for Reforged that changes the models to be closer to Classic. The mod corrects failures in visuals and gameplay.

  • Units Resized and Remodeled
  • New Animations
  • Classic Hit Boxes
  • Classic HP Bar Position
  • Classic Icons (Not A.I.)
  • New UI and Portraits
  • Trees Resized and Remodeled
  • Item Animation Removed
  • Bug Fixes and Possible Small FPS Increase (Less Unit Data)

Many of us were hopeful for the new graphics - if they had just followed Classic more closely.

Vision Mod aims to make competitive play possible for players who wanted to use the new graphics but gave up because of the issues. Fixes for the unnecessary changes that made switching from Classic a nightmare, like moving hit boxes, moving items, and odd hp bar positions.

Animations for some units have been altered to be more fluid and modeled after Classic. The portrait UI has been opened like the blizzcon trailer to make the new portraits less jarring.

Overall, the mod is drastically more faithful to how Classic plays and looks compared to default Reforged. Recognizable units, functional hit boxes, and consistent unit size is essential for a remaster.
