Dota 2 seemed very Dota so I am not interested.

Blizzard makes great games. No idea why you would get so biased against them.

They have like three IPs that people know about: Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo. So if I think that WoW is total crap, Warcraft gamers were just horrible strategy games where they failed to implement RPG elements with RTS (thus DOTA became more popular), starcraft games fare better than warcraft, but they are not that great in neither concept nor gameplay with the exception of balanced competitive PVP.
Diablo was good back then, I wonder how people will recieve a mindless hack'n'slash nowadays. So for me, majority of the games made by Blizzard is utter crap, especially the entire Warcraft IP.
Sosseres:
Warcraft 2 was fun at its time. Lots of funny things in the game, made it worth playing over its competitors in many ways (it still has a small competitive scene).
Warcraft 3 is probably the game with the most varied and fun user made maps of any game. There is some competition for the title but I think warcraft 3 takes it. (The game itself isn't good compared to its competition.) The only real competition in success of map making is probably Valves various games due to the success of CS.
D2 was good when it came out, there have been better dungeon crawlers before and after. D2 just did something right in its addition formula.
SC BW is a great, great PvP game, still worth watching today. SC2 is a meh generic RTS game after the first ~250 or so games. Then they made it hard to play custom maps that aren't the most popular, ruining their entire map making system (which showed the most promise of any recent game, still had some fun custom maps).

I agree, Warcraft & Starcraft aren't great in terms of varied RTS elements. That's why I love playing Age of Empire II (III is totally overshadowed by Empires: Total War). Every country has their special types of units while still maintaining the same units of the other countries. That, and there are 13 countries versus only 3 races in Starcraft.

When warcraft 2 and 3 were out, I was playing games with better RTS elements, especially C&C games and Total annihilation.
However back to the topic. NCSoft still did not announce the last profession in GW2 >:(
