The last products of Blizzard prior to the merger were Warcraft 3 (the original, not the controversial reforged crap) and World of Warcraft with expansions Burning Crusade and Wrath of the lich King. Within a year of the merger Activision was already getting into trouble and most of their franchises were taking sharp downturns (only exception was Starcraft 2, but even that never got the same acceptance as SC Broodwar, even today BW is still favored over SC2). So no, basically Blizzard was at their peak when Activision bought them and it's been steady downhill since.
*edit* I just realized you're probably thinking of the most recent merger with Microsoft, and in that case yeah Blizzard had gone to shit before that happened. But Activision had ruined them long before that and the last members of the original Blizzard team are long long gone.
