Why then DB decided to not recreate those lucky flaws?

Because, with the exception of the Brood War diehards, things like arbitrary control limitations, stupid AI and bad pathing are considered blatant failings on the part of developers.

If any other RTS was released today with units that would take the longest path for a straight line, it would be outright ridiculed by reviewers and consumers alike.

This mod shows that SC2 could have been much much better game than it is now.
And HOTS won't change much because in HOTS unlike of this mod basic design mechanics which leads to many actual problems of SC2 will not be changed.

I don’t see many RTS released nowdays so you point is disputable.
And why AI has to be super smart? It can be relatively stupid if that leads to exciting gameplay.

Because stupid AI breaks the game long before anyone starts caring about "exciting gameplay".

Ever see a reviewer say "The AI was beyond idiotic, the UI random and unresponsive, and everything required constant babysitting...but don't worry, in 3 years this game will be competitive and fun to watch"?

BGH and all possible game modes are available in the melee map section of battle.net
not in arcade. arcade only has 1v1 fighting spirit. if you want to play 2v2/3v3/FFA/etc you need to go into the starcraft melee map section (top left, starcraft > custom games)

... hope that Blizzard would notice us and implement some of our changes ...

Hate to be cynical, but this is pointless. We've tried since beta to make Blizzard listen to us, to fix the fundamental problems in SC2, but nothing has happened. These modmakers


and I am totally for that. I think SC2 is a stale, broken bore of a game compared to BW, I haven't played it for what must be over a year now. But unless they change the game fundamentally, as described in the OP, there is no point, and they wont. It's too late now. The first expansion is coming and unless these changes are all in it (they aren't) the game will remain what it is: a decent game, a distraction that lasts for a couple months, much like the latest shooter or platformer. I think most of us will agree we would never have played SC2 for half as long as we did if it weren't for the fact that it has Starcraft in the name.

The only solution is the one constantly parroted by Blizzard: if you want to play Broodwar, play Broodwar. We all want Broodwar to somehow make it into the next generation of gaming but unfortunately that's just not gonna happen.
