With the uproar surrounding Dynamic Queue and individual skills, I can't help but recall this meme..

I was mostly playing the story and just having fun on the already included maps. I wasn't amazing but I had fun trying my best back then.

I loved the campaigns, but what kept me playing the game was the custom map scene. People created some insane stuff for Warcraft III. Huge strategy maps, RPGs, roleplay maps, aeons of strife (MOBAs), altered melees (altered vanilla gameplay), survival maps, horror maps, cinematics, tag maps, escape maps, full campaigns (of varying genres), mini games (creating already existing ones in Warcraft like Flappy Bird or Warcraft 2048 or making novel ones), and lots more.

There's this one absolutely insane aeon of strife called Rise of Winterchill, and it has some of the most complex and coolest spells I've ever seen coded. (Though they're not Azir-level of complexity, it's still pretty impressive given that it was all created by one guy.) There's an emphasis on really unique skillshots, like on Tempest, where he can target any unit in his sight, and a thunderbolt will drop down on a point double the Tempest's distance from the unit. He's also got a circular skillshot, a passive cloud that elastically rushes towards the Tempest and does damage to enemies that it passes over, and a ram. There's also a hero that's signature spell is an arrow that arcs based on how much she turns in order to fire the spell, with damage increasing for higher arcing angles and distance traveled. There's also a hero where he shoots out a fireball, and then can shoot a faster fireball out of that one, and shoot an even faster fireball out of that one. It's kind of like Zed's shadows, except you always need to position your angles with respect to your hero, because that's where they'll shoot out of the fireball (not in the direction of your cursor). There's also a siege engine hero with dodgeable basic attacks.

I tried to make maps, but it was so difficult and time consuming that I kind of gave up. It gave me all the more respect towards map makers and game makers though, because it made me realize how hard it is to make something fun, detailed, and balanced.

No, I like 3d models don't get me wrong. Something about the graphics, perhaps the coloring(which very well could have been my display settings/hardware) just threw me of.
