As far as custom games go though yeah WC3 had it better, blizz kinda F'd up how they did it in SC2.

I prefer the macro side of things personally so voted SC2. WC3 is more micro based and SC2 is more macro based. The balance patches should liven the game up for a while, but because of the way the game is structured I have no doubt the game will settle back into a similar meta that it had for 10 years. Think it really comes down to which style of RTS you prefer. The game is fun, and I plan on getting reforged, but after about 10 or so games, I tend to remember why I prefer SC2. While the armor type change to Towers somehow managed to make them even more frustrating to fight against. In the Round of 8 Grubby faced Korean Terran player YoDa who proved to be too strong and defeated Grubby 3-1 ending his tournament. Having a separate damage type for buildings makes attacking into bases extremely challenging. Grubby defeated Tarson 2-1, Snute 2-0, lost 1-2 vs mOOnGLaDe, lost 0-2 vs Dream, and won 2-1 vs TLO, this allowed Grubby to advance into the Round of 8. Which T2 units you get has been mapped out for the last 10 years, and if the game gets to T3, its usually for the Orb or 3rd hero rather than the late game tech. You basically never see anyone mix and match their T1 units. The unit and build variety is also pretty weak.

The small unit count also dramatically increases how dangerous Towers are in comparison to the SC titles, and Tower rushing has been a premier strategy throughout the entirety of WC3.

The large amount of free defenses each base comes has doesn't help. Warcraft Warcraft 3 > Starcraft > Diablo > WoW The only ones I really care about are SC and WC3 the presentation in Diablo 2 wasn't compelling to me (although in Diablo 1 it was quite good) so it pushed the D2 lore backwards for me. For Ryan Winzen, a 28-year-old former Marine. The small unit counts mean that any multipronged play is usually impractical, and harass in the game tends to come through either heros or flying units. StarCraft II mod StarCraft Universe transforms the popular real-time strategy game into a World of Warcraft-style role-playing game. The low damage to high health of most units means that it takes a long time for anything to happen. WC3 Hero system means games are more about not letting your units die rather than killing opponents units, which I find annoying rather than fun.
