[2019] This looks familiar?

Hello!

Yes, MageQuit is based on the wc3 mod you are referring to. It was called Warlock. I believe Magecraft was the sc2 version of the same map :)

Here are the main differences between MageQuit and the wc3/sc2:

1. Spell drafting instead of shops. Warlock had you buying spells and items between rounds, which caused the winning players to win by more. MageQuit flips this on its head by letting last place players draft first, keeping games closer and more exciting.
2. Controls: non-RTS controls. We recommend playing MageQuit with a controller, but we also do support mouse and keyboard although you won't be familiar with the control scheme right away. There's a pinned discussion explaining how those controls work.
3. Spell curving: you can use the triggers (or mouse buttons) to apply a secret curve to your spells. This gives the game an element of information hiding that makes things more intense and raises the skill ceiling of the game.
4. Local multiplayer! If you hook up a bunch of controllers you can play up to 10 players on one computer.

Hope that helps!
