I probably would've liked Warcraft 3, but I dismissed it since it focused on heroes instead of the RTS feel they had with the first two.

And yeah, my wife loved WoW at a kid, but eventually it got to be too expensive for the time she had to spend with it (i.e. when she went to college). I personally never really liked MMOs so I didn't play WOW (had friends that did though), but I did my time with RuneScape. I mostly played FPS and RTS games, and Blizzard games fit pretty well.

I think what happened is that WoW was so successful that Blizzard got addicted to making money instead of making good games. So over time, their focus on making their games more profitable made them less and less attractive to me. I think I played Hearthstone for two weeks until I realized how much of a money grab it is, and I just stopped carrying about their other games. They lost what made them special to me.
