Then you look at all the functionality you LOST with this 'remaster.' 1.0 truly shits on 2.0 imo.

It was awesome! 144hz+, widescreen support, as far as I know no compat BS issues unlike Starcraft 1 which seemed to be way more of a problem child compared to Warcraft 3 when it came to even just getting it running on Windows 10 (plus Starcraft 1 didn't even really have a good functional ladder, as far as I know they STILL havn't added the promised 2v2 ladder mode for SC1 remaster.) Warcraft 3 had a great functioning ladder for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, FFA (arranged team used to work I'm pretty sure they busted it ever since they started patching Warcraft 3 in prep for the announcement.) I think alot of people underestimated/didn't check out how Warcraft 3 classic fared in the modern day on Windows 10.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game and it's cool you're enjoying widescreen and 144hz rate, I think the problem I find with alot of people who were not really following Warcraft 3 regularly was that all those improvements were already in Warcraft 3 classic.
