General Should units gain experience and level up during a match?

I’ve been replaying Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and honestly, the units gaining experience during matches just makes everything sweeter. Leveling systems make battles memorable instead of random soldiers dying everywhere.

The unit experience systems is why old RTS still have the soul till today. When one small squad survives three battles and suddenly becomes elite, you start protecting them naturally. Modern games just throw units away like it means nothing.
