Hi, RoC player back after what seems like eons.
I was easily one of the top 5 players globally in time played. I played that game every day since launch. I tried to cure my WC3 ROC addiction by playing WOW. Didn’t work. I kept playing. It was everything I always wanted in a game. So simple, so perfect. And I preferred ROC ladder to TFT. TFT felt like a while other game to me, and I never glomed onto it. It felt rushed.
Then Blizzard finally pulled the plug on what gave me so much joy for almost 20 years.
We RoC players brought this up. Some TFT players belittled us, calling us few in number and too bad to play TFT. It happened here, happened on Reddit. I remember the spite and hatred I felt for this treatment. I could not believe how easily TFT players threw us under the bus. How stupid and heartless can people be???
And now, looking back, and seeing how it all panned out, we were the canaries in the coalmine.
If I was a higher up at Blizzard, I would do what WOW did and leave classic ROC and TFT completely untouched, and standalone.
hear hear brother !
