I'm playing in warcraft 3 frozen throne 1.26a. From time to time enemy units deal more damage than their stats would allow. AI simply delete my units! It happends in different maps and situations when my units are outside of the screen space.

Just look at this: wc3 night elf delete units.mp4
Time: 00:08:00 I have one Infernal with 410 hp, two Mountain Giants with 1200 hp, one lvl 10 Lich with 900hp. My thoughts at this moment. "It's a win. I'm safe for 10 seconds. I don't need to look on the screen. I can move my camera away from battle and heal my second hero."
Time: 00:12:00 I hear scream of death that belongs to infernal.
Time: 00:18:00 I have two ~dead Mountain Giants and one damaged hero. If I hadn't brought the second hero, I would have lost.

In game it feels like blink of an eye. I moved away camera for few seconds and lost the fight.

Video has been recorded on normal speed. Infernal has 410 hit points and 6 armor. It equals to 26% damage reduction. Units that probably attacked my Infernal:
Unit=Glaive Thrower. Damage=42-86 DamageType=siege AttackCooldown=3.50 MaxDamagAfterReduction=63 MaxDPS=18
Unit=Warden. Damage=36-56 DamageType=hero AttackCooldown=2.05 MaxDamagAfterReduction=41 MaxDPS=20
Unit=Avatar of Vengence. Damage=25-36 DamageType=normal AttackCooldown=1.35 MaxDamagAfterReduction=26 MaxDPS=19
Unit=Huntres. Quantity=2 Damage=19-27 DamageType=normal AttackCooldown=1.80 MaxDamagAfterReduction=20 MaxDPS=11
Unit=Archer. Damage=19-27 DamageType=piercing AttackCooldown=1.50 MaxDamagAfterReduction=20 MaxDPS=11
Unit=Spirit of Vengeance. Damage=14-18 DamageType=piercing AttackCooldown=1.35 MaxDamagAfterReduction=13 MaxDPS=10
100 DPS in total. It's impossible to kill Infernal with 410hp in 4 seconds on normal speed. In ladder it will be around 3 seconds. Warden with few Huntres and Glaive Thrower can kill Infernal with 100% hit points in 10 seconds??? I would believe in 20 seconds.

Why Warcraft 3 doing this? Numbers does not work anymore? Maybe I should install new patch or update directX? Or maybe it is a virus?
