Though actually what really bothers me about WC3 is the gameplay, since its a game that bases itself on the idea that MicroManagement brings victory, and I don't really like to have to take part in the insane clickfest just to play a game.
I guess that's why I like TBS games, like Dominions

You should have a look at all the custom maps out there that tweak vanilla WC3 into completely different games.
Aside from the million tower defense maps (I guess everybody knows what Tower defense is?) and Defence of the ancients, there are lot's of amazing mods out there.
One of my favourites are the traitor maps, where everybody plays a farmer that starts to create his own ranch. You marry, get children that can be put into different jobs and expand your farm building for building. At night, one of the farmers turns into a monster (werewolve, Vampire etc.) and starts killing the other farmers. Your objective is either (if you are the monster) to kill everyone or (if you are not the monster) to identify the monsters true identity and raze it's farm.
Given that all players can attack each other, the monster often tries to frame another player, starting a war between the farms to weaken his enemies. Of course, everything needs a lot of diplomacy.
