SC2's engine has way more potential, but at the same time it not only has to compete with WC3's nostalgia but also;
>Editor is far more complicated so while there's great stuff there's a lower volume of just random shit people come up with
>Hero system is some ass-backwards shit they had to force into the editor baseline whereas it always just werkz with WC3
>Fantasy stock assets >>> Sci-fi stock assets for random custom games (yeah sc2 has some now but basically nothing compared to WC3)
>Far smaller map making autist community, not helped because all of the initial drama around the SC2 EULA because Blizzard was still butthurt about dota
>Despite all its problems you can still get the WC3 engine to do most of what you want with enough custom scripts
>Despite actually being customizable the lighting in SC2 just looks bad for anything that's not standard SC2 gameplay, novice mapmakers are far too tempted to make everything covered in fucking bloom which is AIDS to look at
And finally
>Many custom game concepts are now actual genres in the industry so there's no shortage of competition, compounding SC2's issues compared to WC3

I mean, I get its popularity, I don't begrudge its existence or anything, but it's not a fucking RTS. I know the name of the genre is vague as fuck that most things could "count" as an RTS but let's be real here.
It also seems like it's mostly played by mexicans, not the f2p mobile game I'd guess they were into.

Any Warcraft 2 players? I only really want to do tides of darkness and beyond the dark portal once each, so which campaign should I do for them? It's hard to find out which the "canon" one is, since apparently for BtDP they're both canon but I can't get an answer for ToD
Also, as a bonus, is the seemingly high effort it takes to get a version of pre-reforged WC3 worth it? Or should I just deal with the remastered. Inplayed WC1 remastered, but with original graphics on, and I'm doing the same for 2.

BDP both are cannon but in ToD only the Human Campaign is canon.

Second question, if you're just playing the Campaign for Warcraft 3 I would just get the original. If you're into Customs or Melee online games, Reforged is what most people are playing and is the only real option if you want to get into that scene.

WC1 and WC2 are best played with the Remastered versions, with old or new graphics since BBI are actually cool devs and did a good job.

Playing W3. I've no interest in multiplayer. Should I just use the Classic graphics or are the Reforged ones okay. I kind of like the look of both. Should I do reforged with some things switched to classic or just play classic. I kinda like the new portraits in reforged since they look like the characters in WoW. For example I don't like thralls white eyes in the classic portrait.

Reforged graphics are dogshit.

Only acceptable way to play with Reforged graphics if you REALLY want to IMO is to enable them but keep Units, Heroes, and Icons to Classic HD. You get the nicer environments and neat effects but playability and readability is not as impacted. Also Enable "Classic sounds" in the menu if you enable them, it keeps death sounds consistent.

You can enable Reforged portraits, but they look like dogshit and you should appreciate the old ones.

You should also man up and play online. Join and quit 10 games in a row and then play in the sand box with other shitters. Low level games actually fun since you're both bad.

Alright, so with Undead you will need to not get Sacrificial Skull and instead opt for a Dust of Appearance from your shop if it's Blademaster. It's a little trickier with Cryptlord because of a lack of healing.

Make a 6th acolyte after your 5th and bind it to a hotkey and chuck it to your enemy base to scout.

If you see no Barracks and a War Mill, you're going to get hard harassed by Blademaster because he's likely rushing Wind Riders. Knowing this, you get a Rod of Necromancy and Dust of Appearance. Take two green camps, and on your second green camp drop Dust of Appearance on yourself before last hitting the main creep as he's likely gonna try to steal the XP and item. Keep doing this on your next orange camp. Pop Rod of Necromancy on cooldown, this is important cause it's going to be what has him fuck off. Observe which clone does more damage and commit until he runs away. When he does, creep orange camps. If you really shoved him off, invade his side of the map for an orange camp. Make sure to Tech 2 ASAP and make a Graveyard for Gargoyles. Lich 2nd is pretty good but if you're feeling lazy Pit Lord 2nd for Howl will let your gargoyles sweep Wind Riders.

Sometimes you'll see Blademaster with headhunters, so park your scout near enemy altar at the start to confirm. Pull all your ghouls from your treeline and sick them on the enemy army when they arrive. You put two ghouls on the enemy hero and kite. Run around in circles if you have to. When a ghoul gets to around 40% health, get it back onto the tree line for lumber. Making a few extra ghouls is OK if you forgot your Graveyard for Fiends, but you have to invade and slap around the hero to kill their Healing Salve. Damage against Blademaster and Far Seer sticks. At this point if you fended them off, you can choose what to do.

And: if this is about hitting your gold mine before anything else, make one nerubian tower when you suspect a Blademaster, and make a 4th ghoul at home. While you're away, keep creeping. You will have a level advantage over him. Invade his green camps.

To be fair Singsing is a Dota 2 pro and if you've ever played Dota 2 before playing Warcraft 3 1v1 you'll get a massive sense of deja vu. A lot of heroes are identical, a lot of mechanics are similar, the feel of the game is the same.

yeah in a "difficulty to perform vs. effectiveness" ratio BM is kinda fucked. Every race has their version of that though. Dreadlord for UD counters BM hilariously and enables off meta play. Ghoul/dreadlords is a hero killer if you're aggressive enough

>Reach 1600 mmr in w3champion
>Only played BM harass nothing else
This hero does not belong in this game. Literally the only one who could stand up to me is blind elf guy with manaburn. The rest kneels to me, they never stood a chance, I can run to their base before they kill a single creep while also buying circlet on the way,

>Human
Gaymage is squishy AF and loves to expand for more more harassment targets
Pala is not even a real hero at level 1
Only real threat is mountain king stun

>Orc
Almost always a battle of BM harassment other wise ez freewin

>Undead
Literally free win. None of their heroes are a threat ever. If they don't block off mines its worker genocide

>Elf
Demon hunter with mana burn is by far the hardest to deal with but his archers are free food, the other heroes are just jobbers

This hero is just ridiculous being able to harass with practically zero risk is not balance Its just unfair that one side gets to be easy predator while the other guy has to micro to not lose unit to something he can't even see, "but dust" Literally doesn't work with how fast he is. Not surprised washed up pro like grubby keeps whining about elf since only elf since its the only race who can really stand up to this abuse. I bought this game expecting decently balanced esport game but BM single handly ruin that

The meta is DK + lich with their burst but that would too hard for noobs. CL is a great noob hero but jobs to any form of dispel. Pretty obvious UD was the last race blizzard made.

I'm too stubborn to quit UD. It feels like everything I have sucks because DK at 3 and Lich at 1 is strong.

I have been having success if I just go fast fiends and stop fucking with ghouls at all. I hate ghouls, but I want to love them. They're so weak, you want them with frenzy and at least 2/2, but that's such an investment when Creature Attack upgrades scale more easily.

I would have to go Ghoul/Necro to be economic with upgrades, and I don't feel like Dreadlord most of the time

The sad truth is it hasn't been the same since Reforged. I burned so many great hours in Custom Games and roleplaying maps. I remember Skype calls, before Discord; back-logging our canon and scheduling games in Kingdoms & Nations, Titan Land, Azeroth Wars, Dark Age of Warcraft, etc..

Hell I got a fuckin' smokeshow Iraqi-Syrian GF out of it all who wrote like a badass and fucked like an animal. Shit, there were tons of talented writers and world-builders in this little tiny-ass community.

Wherever you bunch of autists are at, I miss you guys. Never another RTS multiplayer experience like it.

As much as I'm having fun with Warcraft melee PvP and encourage people to try it, this is true. The era in which this game thrived, specifically it's custom scene, will never be replicated in the same way you can't ever go back in time. The way games are now are better in some ways, worse in many others, but a lot of that has to do with us being in different stages of our lives.

I feel the balance of Warcraft PvP is actually quite good, and the game is more interesting for it. But the Custom Games scene being peak back in the day is mainly because we didn't have a lot of tools or kits or easy access to create games. It really was the gateway to be creative much in the same way Half Life modding back in the day was. When people froth at the mouth about Blizzard's shit policy regarding IP rights in Custom Games, it's like, you're missing the point. Custom Games aren't coming back to the way they were no mater what the policy says. Custom Games now pale in comparison to what they were. The tools are just to cumbersome compared to what we have now.

At the very least people are playing Warcraft melee now. Back in the day no one cared about it since customs stole the spotlight utterly.

put up two towers near your workers and you won't have to worry about him

elf is resistant to harass because of lumber bullshit at can harvest all over the map

ud can play goofy games with acolytes while bm worthlessly chases them around thanks to nerub tower

orc has burrows

human can just arcane tower and them militia to force a TP

BM harass past level 2 tops is wasting BM's time and is a signal for you to invade his shit and kill his barracks if he's head hunting or his burrows --> bestiary if he's doing wind rider rush

I can sympathize if he's doing annoying plays with staff, but BM on his own is not that overwhelming. Only thing about him that's annoying is that you HAVE to play around him and HAVE to specifically counter him

Even with the actual game, the truth is it was so full of Sweats most of us never lasted longer than our first 2-3 tries at it.

It's gone and never coming back. Honestly at this stage of my life though I wish I'd spent my high school years investing in my community and a better life for myself in the future instead of recreating the Arathorian Empire in WC3 custom maps for the fifth time. But hey, it was a good time.

At least threads like this let us oldfags reminisce and feel like it wasn't a total waste.

I felt that way too back then. But coming back to it now, it's kind of silly to expect to win at a game as deep and dynamic as Warcraft PvP. I have been appreciating it a lot more, and I'm not good at it at all. So long as I get my wins I'm happy, and I wish more people would see how good the core game is.

Except BM is meta even in the highest level, this hero isn't just a noob stomper like many orc fags want you to believe.The fact that the solution is way harder than playing BM yourself + it doesn't result in an outright win is ridiculous, meanwhile BM can end the game right there and there how is that even remotely fair? If I stop a baneling bust in SC2 thats it I win, You stop BM's faggotry in this game? Congrats you can now play a fair game.Windwalk cd needs to start after he attack so he is actually taking risk, not like mirror image is bad as well.

Having played the Campaign recently, it's aged mostly well. Some missions are just a drag though. Peak are the Undead and Night Elf campaigns, and TFT is better than RoC as a whole package.

Core WC3 PvP isn't flawless but close to it. Night Elf needs better unit variety and a nerf to their lumber rate but a buff to a few of their building's lumber cost.
Orc is actually in a good spot.
Undead needs the most buffs, but in multiple tiny ways.
Human is pretty good as well, most balanced IMO.
The mechanical requirements to play Warcraft 3 aren't much higher than Dota 2, just surprised it isn't more popular considering it plays like a super-MOBA that doesn't have you carrying 4 teammates every game.

Okay I held off on playing direct strike because it just looked like protect the lich king/nexus wars and I've already played those a billion times. But holy shit now that I've actually tried it I'm really fucking impressed. Another example of a custom game that would work perfectly as a mobile game if it doesn't exist already.
I don't disagree with people like >>1827109 that say WC3 custom games peaked because obviously that's true, we're not all in our teens anymore, etc. etc., but holy shit there's some real gems out these days with great effort in them. If only blizzard didn't bungle the fucking remaster it wouldn't feel like pulling teeth to get people on for them.

Undead is just the worst race thats kept down by butt hurt retards. Remember when blizzard was going to buff ghouls HP so they didn't instantly lose to Mountain King or Tauren Chieftan or anything and people cried over and over until blizzard walked back on the buffs. Its actually insane that people think footmen getting an extra 80 HP, 2 Armor all for the big disadvantage of costing 15 more gold and having .5 less DPS is balanced. You literally need a T3 tech just to make your basic melee unit usable as UD and shit like abominations are also worthless.

Its a faction entirely held up by 1 OP unit and good heroes

They added all that in updates pre reforged without the extra 30 GB of bloat and bugs and the full price tag

Stop playing Reforged. Stop giving slop attention. Stop listening to shills, leave Warcraft 3 in our memories where it belongs.

Except it took out the shadow and lighting that was already in the game, and demands I buy Reforged to have the 2002 graphics feature back.

No, that's not the case. Old client can be played online via GameRanger and is fully intact.

There are plenty of russians and brazillians to play dbz custom games with.
