okay im going to go over this again. Why I think WC is a better game
1)It is the most focused on game that is officially released at the moment
2)It has a ladder system that works and it cant be abused as easy
3)It is more organized in terms of clans, friends, finding games
4)Warcraft has a variety of viable strategies to defeating an opponent. Warcraft has 4 different races, with about 20 different unique units each race. they each have their own special abilities and they both can work in unison or whatnot. Starcraft is all about the same strategies and who is the faster one in terms of speed. the game shows a repetetion of the same units in every game. what i mean is that, in a starcraft game, expect terran to get mass goliaths, wraiths, battle cruisers. zerg usually gets hydralisks or mutalisks. and protoss usually gets dragoons or scouts. In warcraft you mix units to give off an awesome combo because units can compliment each other well.
5)Strategy is much much much more frequent in warcraft which is what helps keep warcraft alive
6)Warcraft is a newer game so people are tending to play that over stracraft and with this in mind, the graphics, gameplay, control, music- anything will be better then starcraft.
7)The warcraft community comes up with unique custom maps because the editor is 10x more expansive then the starcraft editor.
8)Warcraft holds tournaments which some people seem as a good thing, or some people see as a badthing. either way, tournaments are cool because you can make a name for yourself if you manage to win one.
9)Warcraft has composed music and awesome movie scenes and the story is much more in depth IMO (If you play single)
10)Hacking is being dealth with day by day in warcraft. No one obviously gives a shit about starcraft because the ladder is already messed up.
11)Replays provide a better view on how things are done in a game.
12)Spells look so badass in warcraft and the unit abilities require skill to micromanage. In starcraft, units die way to fast to even try and micro so like someone said, sc = macro, wc = micro

These are a good 10 reasons why warcraft is better then starcraft. It may be a opinion thing but if you think about it, warcraft is really a better game in general. Feel free to add on to the list if you think of any.

it never ruined it, it just showed people how to play. yes, people copy the same strat, but there is always someone who will try and alter the strat to make it more unique. Take fiends and stats for an example. There are many ways to go with this, some people can get a certain amount of fiends or they could mix it up with some necros to suprise the opponent who assumes that theyre going to fiends xD. Maybe not a good example, but you still get my point, I hope. Replays are a good way to show what people do wrong and for them to remember the game they played. Replays havent completely wrecked the game

I'd tell you guys what I think about War3, except I'm not a fool to pick a fight in the War3 forum.

Wrong Forum douche.

Sc is better, so many different things to play. You can never get bored.

Well here is how I look at it:

In Warcraft 3, speed is all you have. This game is not a strategy game, and never will be a strategy game; it just doesn't have it. If you want to mash buttons, play Warcraft 3. If you want to play strategy, you should probably pick Starcraft or Rise of Nations for that matter.

Oh, and I agree with pan. Replays ruined Warcraft3.

Plus, the food limit in WC sucks, but I can understand it cause most people lag out anyways...Even with 90....I prefer SC 200... Also, WC is a little to slow paced for my liking. SC is fast paced, and that is good.

Its not replays that ruined it, it is the repaly sites, it is he high level repalys that ruined it. I really really hate the battle.net forums, casue almost everyone there just bitches about everything that they cant counter with thier cookie cutter strat. And when there is someone with a shred of intellegence in his claims, he is beaten down with a stick by biased palyers from other races.

this quote i found rather interesting and true
I've been facing nothing but paladins lately out of humans (some bastard top player prolly used it in a tournament and now everyone is copying him). Between an unstoppable paladin raping your acolytes with serious abandon and the standard UD rush to tier 3 for units that can actually fight, adapting can be hard.
a month ago, human players bitch about how pally is worthless and needs 10 million buffs to move it from a third hero to second.

One major problem i have with replays, is the abuse that spawn from it. You realize, had Madfrog never massed destroyers, against the already abusive wyverns (those two strats cancel out cause destroyers was ud only solid counter to wyverns before bug was fixed) No one would get destryoers, and everyone wanted them to be buffed.
High level palyers learn to abuse, however a majority can still stay on top cause they have the true skill to back it up anyways, however if the community sees the abuse, its still abuse and will still be able to bash alot of palyers with it that don't have the skill to take it on.

I have no problems wiht your own repalys. Actualy repalys are best used when watching games you lose. that way you can see wehre you went wrong, and u can know exactly wehre you messed up, where you need to improve on your game. when u watch high levels u jsut watch insane micro. all you get out of that is cookie cutter strats with nohting to back you up.
