WC3 custom maps were so fun man. There were all sorts of random ass games you could play. Of course there was DoTA which speaks for itself, but I remember playing like DBZ and Naruto story themed games that were fun too. And all the different tower defenses... I have been wanting to play a good TD for a long time and haven't been able to find anything that compares to what they were like back then. LAN parties were peak.

I loved the hero evolution maps where you would spawn in as a ghost with a fucking zoo of different heroes available to choose from. Then you would spawn in the world and have a heroic adventure not unlike a very early attempt at WOW. That game got so much mileage off custom maps.

I loved playing the vampirism map. Hahahaha. Those were good times!

100%.

I wish we could get that again - I really miss vampirism and that game where you'd pick a class and level up versus another team where there'd be like 50 classes to choose (it wasn't laned like Dota). Sheeps vs wolves. That ent game.

So much creativity....

SO much creativity! The options were endless. I remember trying my hand at using the map builder to make my own custom map, but it was so hard. I remember thinking, these were made by other players like me?? No way, haha.

Dota eh. I remember lots and lots of hero arenas before dota was a thing. I didn't understand the hype around dota even when everyone started playing, like yeah we already had that before.

Angel arena was my shit! My neighborhood friends and I would play LAN wc3 every day. Footmen Frenzy, Wintermaul Wars, Angel Arena, some kind of final fantasy RPG - we made whole summers out of WC3 custom maps
