D2 classic wasnt good for most ppl because it didnt cater to casuals. The fact there is still a community of d2 classic players today speaks for itself. Classic d2 is the same as poe now, a fucking hard game for ppl who dont want to faceroll shit and use the same pigeonholed character over and over. (Classic at release, not this fucking synergy shit they put in d2 lod ... it allowed for quite a variety of builds)
Same with d3 at release, it needed only half the damage nerf it received at 1.0.3 and then they should have worked on item/customisation and pvp, and left the actual skill numbers and monster dmg the fuck alone, instead of fucking nerf nerf nerf. Monster power was the worst idea ever too, and buffing legendaries to the point of making rares obsolete was total bs too.
D2 classic wasn't good for most people because it fucking sucked. Actually scratch that, going for D1 to D2 classic was 'weird' at first because it wasn't as dark of a game, but simply due to awesome class abilities it felt cooler. Going from D2 classic to LOD made you realize how shitty classic was though.
