![]() It’s a formula that eventually inspired DOTA, and the rest was history. This isn’t even accounting for the strong core of Warcraft III‘s different army choices, and the bold move to include four of them: a rare and high count for an RTS, even today. You could play 100 games of Warcraft III and have all of them play out differently, depending on your build strategy and hero choice. I’ve also really enjoyed getting re-acquainted with custom maps. I’m a sucker for “Blizzard Tower Defense” and “Azure Tower Defense,” two official maps included with Frozen Throne. I’ve spent countless hours in them all over again, as well as numerous Line TD (that phrase just conjures instant memories for some of you, I’m sure), RPG, and MOBA creations. No joke, sometimes I’ll get a kick out of just sitting and staring into the abyss of the constantly updating custom game lobby. ![]() So there’s where the trouble starts brewing: some of those custom maps are gone due to the nature of Reforged‘s client taking over, and the (in recent years) expanded “we own you” TOS ensuring that a future potential DOTA 2-level legal battle ends in favor of Blizzard this time around. In theory, I get why Blizzard is cracking down on “Goku battle!” anime maps on one end of the spectrum: this is 2020, that stuff doesn’t fly as easily as it did back in the early 2000s.
