Imagine Blizzard gave players a map creator and tools similar to the Overwatch Game Creator Papa Jeff released. Where they just let you do it all. What kind of map would you create?
I would make simple maps with fun abilities.

I’d put darkmoon fair cannons all over the place and when you land you act like a bomb and blow things up at the sacrifice of your own health but you do it to every player you hit.

I’d play this lol.
I had a blast playing the flying eots map. I know, disconnects were an issue, but still

I think the Overwatch tool just lets you modify rulesets for existing maps doesn’t it? It’s not really a full map creator like we had in WC3.
Based on how they changed the EULA for WC3 reforged, I think the reason we haven’t gotten tools that powerful since WC3 is because Blizzard is afraid we’ll create something really cool that will spawn the next new genre and they won’t be able to own it. From what I read, the rules they added to WC3r are pretty awful (they own anything you create or something) and make people not want to create any content in it.
But anyway, I think tools like that would be amazing in any kind of RPG. In WoW I could see people making custom BGs or maybe their own challenges like the mage tower from Legion. I’d maybe want to make something like Huttball from SW:ToR. If they gave you the tools to do it, some people would probably create their own custom entire xpacs if they let people start an entire custom server.
I definitely WOULD NOT have vehicles that one-shot players.
I would avoid AoE cluster f’s like Ashran and SSvTM.
How about an AB type with Ungoro Crater theme with a few T-rex’s roaming around that indiscriminately attack both factions. Imagine both sides ferociously fighting for Blacksmith and T-rex shows up and he’s hungry, very hungry.

I love it. Also the volcano randomly shoots lava down.
And the hardened lava or other dynamic obstacles cause the topography to change which alters the pathing between nodes and graveyards.
Obviously these dynamic changes will favor horde, 
I’d recreate Icecrown Citadel so that it actually looks like it does in the Shadowlands promo logo. In-game it’s way too tall compared to how it is there.
