I feel many considered the game more fun when nobody knew how to play properly yet, that's a typical trigger thread created to further antagonize people here

I know this is that sort of thing that's guaranteed to set someone in the thread off, but I don't think that should stop me from sharing my personal opinion, so here goes:

As far as I'm concerned, the question in the OP doesn't matter, because what more people should be asking is, is SC2 more fun to watch than Brood War? For me it's a resounding no. I'm having so much more fun watching Brood War, and I feel it's important to mention, just to quash that fallacy that I see brought up so often that people only prefer Brood War due to nostalgia, that I was never into competitive BW back in its heyday - in fact, although I played it casually as a kid I didn't get into e-sports at all until Wings of Liberty. It's only now that I'm realizing what I was missing all that time and I kind of loathe SC2 for stealing and wasting the spotlight for years with such an inferior game design. There were some good moments in SC2s history (BoxeR vs MMA semifinals at MLG) but I can't help but think they would have been better if they'd just been in the better game.

"Look at the viewership"
This is not an argument, the game is 7 year old and and other games took the lead : LoL, csgo, hearthstone, overwatch. An rts game is much harder to renew than a MOBA and it's logical most people get bored with the game for some time. Moreover, sc2 is such a frustrating game, and need a lot of focus which can be tireing/boring for recreative players in the long run.
Overall, i think a lot of players still enjoy watching starcraft 2 games even if they don't play the game, because it remains so beautiful to watch.
The game is to me much better than HoTS and WoL. Early WoL was really good to play and watch, and it remains one of the best gaming experience I had.
After tasting LOTV, i feel that there's no comparison to HotS, it's much better in a lot of ways. The variety of openings and the mid game stages are overall more dynamic and interesting than in hots or wol which make it much more enjoyable to watch; and even to play, when you go back to wol or hots, everything looks so slow and predictable.
