There's a number of things they haven't yet fixed, such as clashing graphical styles in areas where you can't actually revert to "retro" mode. This includes WC1's title screen. The scrolling and inability to actually click the menu button due to it working while in the menu side of the screen are also still an annoying factor.
These ports were very clearly afterthoughts. The updated versions of The Sims 1 and 2 had more work done in them than this, and those I had to restore some of the content they removed for licensing reasons. Warcraft 3 at least is in a far better place than it was when it's remaster launched a while back, but it's still not great. Also, Starcraft's remaster still locks away that "preorder bonus" skin, because why not I guess.
WC1 and WC2 keeping LAN mode is appreciated, but I'll keep beating this dead horse, Diablo II's remaster needs to return LAN mode at some point to feel complete, on top of it's own visual clashes between old and new graphical modes.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
