I played a trout ton of custom games in Brood War and WC3. Stopped playing DotA after a while though because the community was as bad as people say. To the point of banning you from a lobby if you didn't have the latest version of the map and you started to download it upon joining.

But there was something about turret defense games back in the day. Those Starcraft turrets, cannons, etc. made it more fun for reasons I don't quite understand. I assume the explosions were more satisfying than shooting arrows and stuff at squishy things. This is probably the only time I will ever speak ill of firing arrows at squishy things.
