I am sure Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are better games but Warcraft 2 is
my favorite Blizzard RTS.

I mean, "best" is so subjective. Honestly, the Warcraft games -while
fun- never ranked all that highly for me, and I never could warm up to
Starcraft. The latter especially seemed more designed for the sort of
player who counts clicks-per-second as an important metric as to
whether an RTS game was good or not.

I always had more fun with the Command & Conquer series, but when it
came to games of the genre that I enjoyed the most, I tended to favor
the games that leaned more towards the tactical aspects. Games like
"Myth", "Ground Control", "Company of Heroes" or "WH40K Dawn of War".

But I tended to be fairly gregarious with the RTS genre, and made an
effort to play many of the games from that era. Still, a lot of the
RTS games that I remember best (aside from the obvious ones) came from
after the turn of the millennium. Games like "Nexus" or "Battle for
Middle Earth" or "Homeworld".
