1. A game that is innovative and fun. Enough said about that.
2. A game that is innovative but not quite as good as it could be. I commend developers for trying something new, even if it doesn't turn out to be a good game. There's always hope for an improved sequel.
3. A game that is not innovative, but does what it tries to do very well. As you said, ID, Rockstar, and Fireaxis fall under this category. The Street Fighter series is an excellent example. The series doesn't have many major jumps in gameplay, but rather focuses on many smaller changes.
I do not consider Diablo, Diablo 2, Warcraft, Warcraft 2, or Starcraft to fall under any of these categories. Therefore, I do not like Blizzard as a company. I cannot comment on their one SNES game, as I have never played it. Who knows, it may be good.
All you have to say is that you don't like them. Not that they don't fall into your categories, or that you "don't like them as a company."
