Warcraft 3 is the most influencial and important game ever made. Why?

-Blizzard got this brilliant idea of adding heroes to the game. People loved that so much that they decided to use the superb game editor and make a minigame within Warcraft 3 called Dota. Today millions of people play Dota and Dota clones all thanks to Warcraft 3.

-Before Warcraft 3 TD -or tower defense games werent really a genre in itself but Warcraft 3 introduced TD´s to the masses and today there exists several tower defense games thanks to the revelation the genre got in Warcraft 3.

-Playing with other people, or multiplayer as we call it, was never easier than in Warcraft 3. Battlenet, which was introduced with Diablo 1, was at its finest back then. It was simply put, perfect, if it wasnt for all the retarded hackers but the game is not to blame for that. I doubt that anyone can find a game with a better multiplayer component than Warcraft 3.

-With Warcraft 3 Blizzard added tons of layers to the allready rich Warcraft universe and they made sure the players got introduced to every part of it via excellent story telling, fantastic cinematics and mini cut-scenes. This inspired Blizzard to make an MMO based on mainly Warcraft 3. This game was called World of Warcraft, unofficial sequel to Warcraft 3.
Today World of Warcraft is the biggest and most succesful MMO ever made. Even so much that almost every other MMO game tries to copy it.

Do all of the above make Warcraft 3 the best game ever made? Maybe not but I think its easy to argue that it does.

You never got to play Starcraft / Broodwar did you?

Dota / Moba were plenty and the idea of heroes with fancy skills have been around for a long time.

Tower defense for me STOPPED being fun in Warcraft 3.

I loved the social perfection of SC/BW Battle.net. W3 was the first step away from actually talking to other people in order to play.

I'm not even saying that W3 isn't the best game ever (but I definitely don't think so), but if that's the case, it's not for these points.

That said, best game ever must be one of these;
- Patrizier 2 (DE) / Patrician 3 (EN).
- Settlers 2

Edit: both would be "Management" category.
