I grew up playing Warcraft first and an oldie named War Wind. When Warcraft 2 hit I played that constantly till Diablo. Than I jumped to Starcraft, Starcraft was revolutionary no other game was played competitively like that game was. I have to say it DOTA is a nothing game, Warcraft 3 brought an entirely new element to the RTS with hero units. The game was very fast and very fun. It is so much better than its predecessors in every way.
