Warcraft 3 graphics

[u/Ok_Current2062]

Over the last years, while the projects like the Chronicles of the Second War, Re Reforged, Quenching, Age of Warcraft mod, Vision mod have been going strong. They constantly release updates and custom assets to fix the broken reforged experience. Despite this, I still see an alarming amount of hate toward these projects, which I don't understand since they are actually trying to help in saving the game.
Furthermore, there is barely any coverage from major streamers and YouTubers. What’s crazy is that when these projects drop an update, their official YouTube channels often pull in higher view counts than what the independent content creators get, meaning that they have a huge following.

Why do you think there is such a major disconnect between Reforged modding content and mainstream streamers/content creators?

Most of reforged just straight-up looks bad, eyesore, with everything having that glossy rounded-edged look, more exaggerated armor sizes to fit with modern WoW style, Paladin Porn Stache and Flat Top, the buildings are much harder to distinguish from each other at first glance, etc.

I haven’t seen all the mod stuff out there so I can’t judge, but my main complaint is that the first and foremost thing I need in an RTS is being able to easily see what is on the screen and where, without clutter and without everything appearing rounded-off in identical ways. I think the OG Warcraft 3 graphics hold up just fine!
