Warcraft 3 Reforged is total bullcrap

Can anyone tell me what good games blizzard released since WC3? It all went downhill for me since WoW which is from 2004.
I guess it doesn't help that strategy games are a dying market. Still sometimes I'm tempted to buy SC2 (for the campaign) for old times sake.

Don't care for MMO's or the latest Diablo games all that much.

At least I have the impression that not a lot of innovation is being done in the RTS genre. The last thing I remember is adding hero units with abilities (Warcraft).

How about all games have a single huge lootbox you pay for up front that contains all the options, items, skins, unlocks etc? I'd pay for that!!

This is the type of game that I remember being quite fond of like twenty to twenty-five years ago, but probably wouldn't enjoy them now.

Actually, one point of interest is that WC3 plays slowlier, hence a possible open door to attract players.
At least I have the impression that not a lot of innovation is being done in the RTS genre. The last thing I remember is adding hero units with abilities (Warcraft).Relics tried a few things. It did not catch on.

Even Bethesda didn't dare to enforce ownership on mods others created.
He also told me that it was withdrawn after protests.
In a way, this is similar to a vendor selling colours and brushes, and then saying : Every painting you created with these tools belong to me. Or someoine creating a font and then saying : Every text you use this font with automatically belongs to me.
