They do literally nothing, but just the fact that there are animals hanging around the battlefield, living their lives, minding their own business, lends so much. It implies that there's a world outside of your battles, which of course isn't true, but it helps make it feel that way. And I appreciate how StarCraft in particular makes an attempt to have alien critters, even if they're mostly just real animals with silly names, like the bengalaa just being a panther. One thing I wish they'd done was have one of the critters be the "original" form of a Zerg unit before it was infested and evolved by the Overmind, that would have been cute. Blackrock Depths Protoss Unit Annoyed Quotes: 10/10 concept, 9/10 execution. They're usually fun references to other stuff. I'm actually shocked that the paladin build quote isn't "It's hammer time," I distinctly remember it being that, but it's apparently "I live to serve all believers," and hammer time is just an annoyed quote. Hidden Areas in WoW Classic Defias Brotherhood - Stay a While and Listen Jeff Kaplan Dinoflask Videos Witchwood (Hearthstone Trailer) Demon Hunter (Diablo) Daelin Proudmoore Funeral Crash Incident: Completely tasteless, and yet, still funny. I hate laughing at this, it's obviously horrible, but in the context of a video game, it is funny. But imagine if someone tried to set up this in-game funeral today. It would just be ASSUMED that the Alliance would crash it. I guess the world (of warcraft) was just more naive back then. But like, while this is funny, make no mistake: this is nowhere near the level of Leeroy Jenkins or anything like that. Galvadon (Theme) Siege Tanks Duskwood: Easily the best leveling zone in vanilla WoW, at least for the Alliance. Sure, it's annoying when a UD rogue ten levels higher than you shows up to camp your corpse in the cemetery, and you have to do a corpse run from Darkshire, but that's the only problem. Otherwise? This place oozes personality. It's dark and gothic and completely unlike all of the other Alliance leveling zones. The only other place like it is Desolace, but Desolace suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Stitches showing up randomly is fun, the complicated history of the people who live here is fun, it's easy to reach from all of the other human zones; this is just generally a really good zone.

I like how the WoW Wiki puts any effort at all into explaining why the bosses of Naxxramas surviving and returning in WotLK is totally canon, as if Blizzrd cares at all. Anyway, sure. This is an appropriate ending to vanilla WoW. We get to fight a classic villain from WC3, we feel like we saved the world, and the undead are fine as bad guys. And now that we defeated the lieutenant of the undead, we're prepared for the upcoming expansion, where we'll fight... demons and blood elves. Okay then. I'm not going to lie to you, I've never gone through Naxx. My guild was not good enough to play anything above MC, and even when I went back in later expansions and Classic, I still never got to Naxx.

Anagram 10/24/24 6:51:35 PM #354:	- Systems Functional Alamo Un'Goro Crater Grom Hellscream: Narratively, Grom represents the Old Horde, and the people who can't change even if they want to, who will always fall back into bad habits, and Thrall represents the new hope. Grom dies not to save the Horde, but to make room for new characters who can do new things. But like, if you're looking at him in-universe, then like, this guy's name was already Hellscream even before the demons showed up. He was already a violent, moronic lunatic. He goes back to being evil the very second he finds an enemy who can't be axed to death, and realizes that maybe he shouldn't have done that at the last possible second to save Thrall. No one should champion this man. He should be looked at as a fool who avoided the worst possible outcome of his ill-conceived actions. That said, he's still ten-thousand times better than his son. The fact that Thrall thought putting Garrosh in charge of the Horde was a good idea is evidence that Thrall should not be in charge to begin with. Even Grom knew it was a good idea to leave his son behind and travel to another planet. And the fact that Thrall is played up as being wiser and older than Garrosh, when the timeline of events means that Garrosh is definitely older than Thrall by several years, is just comical. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade StarCraft: Cartooned Blizzcon Big Game Hunters Night Elves (WC3 Faction) Yogg-Saron, Hope's End (Card) Voyage to the Sunken City (Hearthstone Trailer) Samir Duran Valkyrie (Unit) Town of Salem Death Blossom -craft (suffix): Played StarCraft, Warcraft, but not Minecraft. I assume Minecraft is good, but it just doesn't appeal to me at all. Was Minecraft named in reference to Star and War? God, imagine if Blizzard decided they wanted this to be their theme, and named everything -craft. Hellcraft. Overcraft. Lostcraft. I dunno. Vaelastrasz the Corrupt Darkspear Trolls Warriors (WoW Classic) Mass Carriers Science Vessel (Unit): What exactly is the purpose of this vehicle? It creates EMPs, radiation clouds, and defense shields. It doesn't appear to be studying anything at all. What scientific purpose does creating a radiation cloud around an enemy target serve? Oh well, I appreciate how the commander of the ship is Mr. Burns as a scientist, that makes no sense. It's actually kind of bizarre how much less memorable SC2's science vessel commander is, and it's purely because he doesn't have Mr. Burns' voice. That's it. That's 100% of the issue. Retribution Paladins Mercy Multi-Rez Thrall 12 Days of StarCraft Mists of Pandaria Spawn More Overlords: Not as much as fun as requiring additional pylons, but still fun and memorable. I said this before, but the fact that Aldaris is the Protoss base guy who tells you what to do makes no sense, whereas it makes complete sense for the Overmind to do it for the Zerg. Jaedong Warsong Gulch Horde Bias vs Alliance Bias Bethesda, BioWare, and Blizzard Quests (WoW) Deckard Cain Rap Heroes of the Storm Marius (Diablo II) Javelin Amazon WoW Classic Blackwing's Lair Nazeebo Bob, do Something! Overwatch and TF2 Comparisons Jade Golems Wings of Liberty Othmar Garithos Tristram The Butcher: MMM... FRESH MEAT. I don't even know why people care about this guy so much. He's only memorable because D1 is so old that he's like the only voiced enemy in the game. I like that in HotS, apparently the joke is that everyone hates dealing with him, even other demons. Vicarious Visions Dr. Boom (Card) Looking for Baal? Artanis Rogue (Diablo) - Fifty DKP Minus Sombra Infestor (Unit) Lurker (Unit): I don't know if I've used these things ever. They're meant to be useful at attacking buildings and masses of light infantry, but like, these are mid-to-late game units. By the time you can realistically make them, no one is using massed infantry anymore. I guess you might encounter enemy mass hydras or marine/medic balls, but even those are really early-mid game tactics. Other than the medic, every unit BW introduced is only useful to counter one very specific enemy type (Valkyrie, Corsair) or for cheese tactics that fall apart against anyone competent (Dark Templar). What I'm basically saying is that the lurker is somehow still the second most significant unit added by BW. The medic is the ONLY one that actually shakes up the game.

Sarah Kerrigan Radio Free Zerg First Take of Leeroy Jenkins: Wow, I'd never seen this before, no wonder they reshot the whole thing. "I'll use intimidating shout" is somehow infinitely less impactful than "I WILL use intimidating shout" in a warning tone, the 32.33% (repeating, of course) part isn't here, they stutter a lot... Thank god they reshot this. Mike Morhaime Lost Vikings Maiev Shadowsong Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Un'Goro: The Journey Warcraft I Diablo 4, but Twitch Controls Every 60 Seconds Gear Score Melting Faces as a Shadow Priest: Nah. The only faces you'll get to melt are by hanging out near the entrance to BRD and mind controlling people in lava. That's hilarious, of course, but that's about all you'll get.

I knew about Arthas' sister who's undead but animated by Light energy instead of evilness, people laughed at the concept, but this is just someone added in Cataclysm? Man, I don't know. Let's even look up who the racial leaders are... Humans get Turalyon, okay, fair enough. Moira, Muradin, and Falstad, whatever, we have a dwarf council now, sure. Tyrande and Malfurion, okay. Mekkatorque, yep. Velen, god, what a boring asshole. Genn Greymane's still around? I thought he was replaced by his daughter, good for him. Shouldn't he be like ninety? Thrall's back, okay. Baine Bloodhoof, sure. Rokhan the troll, I have no idea who this is. He was in WC3?! Holy shit, I do not remember that at all. Lor'themar, I remember Horde players complaining about how they have this guy instead of Kael. And Gazlowe, I don't know this character. And for the Forsaken, it's a council of Lillian Voss, Arthas' sister, and three no-names. I mean, sure. Whatever. Gotta have someone. You know, I've given the Forsaken a lot of shit for being mustache-twirling villains, and Sylvanas in particular for being stupid and evil, but like... at least that was something. At least they had some kind of pathos and had some kind of goals as a faction. They were by far the most motivated race in vanilla WoW. The fact that Horde starts at neutral instead of friendly was really cool. Now the Forsaken are just accepted. They're just saken now.

No Mercy TikTok Trend World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Bobby Kotick Always Online Nova Activision Being Corrupted into a Being Raid Boss - Not Even Death Can Save You Sylvanas Windrunner Kael'thas Sunstrider: The single most ruined character in all of Warcraft, and that's not a small feat. Many characters got corrupted into being raid bosses, but none of them got as humiliating and undignified an ending as this guy right here. In WC3, Kael is 100% sympathetic, likable, and reasonable, and you are rooting for him the entire time. He's possibly the single most reasonable person in all of TFT! It's either him or Malfurion. And then WoW rolls around, and people are like "Man, I wonder what the Blood Elves are up to, I wonder what happened to Illidan, Vashj, and Kael." Well, two years after the game came out, we finally found out the answer to that: Kael got really high on demon juice, then tried to blow up the world, and then you put him down like a dog. It's baffling how Kael has to be killed because he fell to demonic corruption, but Sylvanas, the most evil person ever, who is way, way less sympathetic than Kael, gets to live. Just insane. And for what? So that this no-name other Blood Elf can be the new leader, and do nothing for all of WoW? There is surely no one in charge of making sure WoW's story functions as a story.

I remember being excited for it and shocked when I actually got a key to play it. So I'm one of the few people who remember the original Blood Mage ultimate where you kill a friendly unit so a phoenix emerges out of him. The final game has you summon the phoenix. Boring. Like with BW, we go Night Elf/Protoss-Human/Terran-Undead/Zerg, ending with the corrupted hero taking over the world/galaxy. Like, TFT is great, what do you want me to say? The campaign has a lot of memorable moments, all of the characters except Tyrande are good because none of them have been ruined by WoW yet, and the writing knows exactly when and where to use humor and tragedy. Everything set up in WC3 is paid off correctly here. This is legitimately the last good RTS game, of which there are two, four if you count their expansions.

Although, the two new classes added suck balls. The assassin is fun and tactical, but simply inferior to all of the base classes, and I've never actually used the druid, but I'm pretty sure he's the worst character in the game. It's also insane that the final boss of Diablo II is now actually Diablo's older brother. God, it's so strange that Diablo's plot really is as simple as it is. It really is just about demons being bad, and you have to kill the demons. It's like the least complicated game ever in terms of plot, and I love it. It reminds me of the movie Blade, where Blade is just the most not-a-character character ever, and his only character traits are that he hates vampires and is good at killing vampires, and then his mother shows up and says "Blade I'm a vampire" and he says "I must kill you" and he kills her and he walks into the next room and kills more vampires. And it's fascinating how all of the demons in Diablo are just the same character, they're all just evil demons, none of them have any kind of nuance beyond that.

Darnassus is trash. Exodar is trash. SW and IF are the only good ones, but the anvils in SW are very far away from the other things I listed, and IF wins out anyway because it's closer to more important dungeons, including half of the raid bosses. SW only has Stock and VC, Darn only has BFD (a dungeon NO ONE does EVER, I think I played it once ever), and Exodar has nothing. Even THERAMORE at least has Ony. And you know what? Because of the speed of gryphons and boats, IF-to-Menethil-to-Theramore is still faster than Darn-to-Theramore. But just looking at it as a cool place, IF is still the best Alliance capital. SW is great stock fantasy tropes, Darnassus is just a cool-looking park, and IF is stock Dwarves, but at least it also has Tinker Town, it has the run-down back alley area on the north where the rogue and warlock trainers hang out, as if to imply that they know they're not welcome in the populated areas, and so on.

I love Mengsk's hypocrisy of talking about unification, setting aside differences, and how no humans should make war upon other humans, just after he got the Confederacy destroyed by Zerg, and we see Confederate ships and bodies being destroyed. Like, this is just a very effective way of getting the exposition out that Mengsk is declaring himself emperor, what do you want me to say?

Like, we the players already know what the Zerg are. The fact that these nameless rednecks get killed as soon as they meet them is meaningless to the overall plot. But it gives so much personality to the Terrans as a faction. They really are just a bunch of dumb rednecks listening to dumb redneck music in their dumb redneck trucks and not at all suited for the epic space opera they're about to get dragged into. And god, the ugly 1998 graphics of this thing, perfect. You compare this to FF8's beautiful cinematics and it's like night and day. Witchwood (Hearthstone Trailer) Demon Hunter (Diablo) Daelin Proudmoore Funeral Crash Incident Galvadon (Theme) Siege Tanks Duskwood The Culling of Arthas (UMS Map) Roadhog Ghost (Unit): As a kid, I distinctly remember reading the manual for the game before playing it, and it had all of this lore about how each unit works, and it was especially long for the Ghost. I was afraid of this being important and me needing to remember it to play the game... only for all of it to be meaningless. Anyway, the idea of these super psychic agents who are completely brainwashed into serving the government as assassins and spies is compelling. I especially like how basically everything they have is merely more advanced than 1998 technology, like the ability to call in nukes, the ability to disable robotics and computers, and... well, the ability to turn invisible, I guess. It seems advanced while still being very practical and less advanced than what even the basic Protoss units bring to bear. And yeah, it has easily the best unit portrait of any Terran unit. All covered in shadows, hiding in the darkness, three glowing green lenses of different sizes on some kind of goggles, the fact that it's specifically three implies all of kinds of things about how it's giving him more information than a human could otherwise have, it's great. Weird puffs of some kind of chemical exhaling out of his mask, all great. And I think it's important that it's called the "Ghost," because that's by far the most Protoss-like name of any Terran unit (that and the Wraith). Everything else is either a normal military name, or sounds like the nickname for a military vehicle (Vulture, etc). The Ghost and Wraith are the ONLY units with special fantastical names. Everything about this unit is super cool... but atmosphere is all it has. Like basically all late-game units, the Ghost is utter trash. I remember seeing a clip from like 2000 where a guy in one second individually lockdowned like ten enemy flying ships at the same time, and everyone was like "this is the greatest example of micro ever," and that's the only time I've ever heard of a Ghost doing anything in StarCraft. And it's a shame, because they truly are the coolest Terran unit. By the way, the SC2 Ghost portrait is garbage.

I love how StarCraft replaces wood with crystals and gold with gas, but flips their importance (as in, gold is the 'main' resource, and wood is the 'secondary' resource in Warcraft, but crystals are the main one in StarCraft). I love how it's a made-up chemical that apparently all three races equally rely on. It's just a perfect made-up resource, like dilithium in Star Trek. And don't tell me that dilithium is a real thing, I know that, I don't care, it's nothing like it is in Star Trek. Even the name "Vespene" sounds good, it sounds like it could be a real thing. Wait, the Wiki says it's a hydrocarbon compound? That's oddly specific.

I remember after achievements were added, there were calls every so often for PUGs to just go around and kill all of the Horde leaders. And every time, people would get lost because they didn't know their way around Horde cities. Like, it was fun! It was fun to storm into Orgrimmar, ride past all of the Horde players milling around, watch them realize what we're here for, and to get followed by 15~ of them as we killed Thrall. And the reverse was also fun, when I watched them kill Varian Wrynn. It's a fun little way of combining PvP and PvE into one thing, where it's obviously all PvE, but the fact that you're riding past Horde players while doing it gives it a veneer of being something more. Mystery Deathmatch Tassadar Arcturus Mengsk Modern D2 Clones StarCraft: Ghost: The most important game Blizzard never made. You read the storyline of this game, and it's all clearly things that they just recycled in SC2. Kerrigan amassing her Zerg on Char, General Warfield, ghosts turning into Specters, Artanis trying to unite groups of Protoss... Like, the idea of Nova learning the truth about who she works for (Mengsk) and having to choose between loyalties is cool, but the reality is simple: Nova as she is is really boring. She's just a spy. She never feels any disloyalty to Mengsk, the man who killed her bosses five years ago and installed himself as emperor. Remember Firefly? Remember how there's a spy there who's never disloyal, then he learns what his bosses did to some random planet on the edge of space, and he's like "hm actually now I am disloyal" and he helps the heroes? That should have been Nova, if you insisted on this character being in SC2. I don't know, I never played the special Nova DLC campaign in SC2, maybe she's amazing there. But it's bizarre how Blizzard completely fell in love with this character and really thought they had something with her, to the point of commissioning a statue of her for their headquarters and writing seven novels about her, but she was never in an actual game until SC2. They didn't care enough to finish her game! And from what you can see online from the 2020 leak, the game looks perfectly good! It looks like a fun 2002-era action-adventure-shooter-stealth game. I don't understand why they didn't finish it. "In February 2009 China banned StarCraft: Ghost's name as an e-sports brand due to issues involving 'superstition.'"

God, these things are cool. There's a reason why they're in all of the art as the default Zerg unit instead of the Zergling. I love how they're corruptions of a peaceful herbivore, I love how the have giant hideous carapace heads, I love how their attack is to shoot their own vertebrae at targets (their scythe hands never actually get used), they're just so perfectly gross and dangerous-looking and cool. The perfect fusion of insect, Xenomorph, and snake.

It was just a random PUG, I was the tank with my "better than average but not great" equipment, there was a very high-tiered decked-out rogue, and three randoms beyond that. So we get in, we get however far enough to lock us in for the day so there's no point in leaving, and then it becomes very obvious that the two other DPS and healer are just the worst you've ever seen. The healer just did zero healing, I had to bust out every trick I had to keep up with just the basic enemies, and the two other DPSes just did no damage. I was doing as much as both of them combined. We wiped at least six times on the second significant fight, until the rogue finally cursed everyone and said in all caps that we're the worst group he's ever seen, that he can't believe we're this bad, etc, and leaves in a rage. Then like five minutes later he whispered to me "actually you were alright, sorry about that." Level 40 Mount Junkenstein's Revenge Critters Molten Core: THE 40-man raid, along with Onyxia. This is as far as I ever got in my own raiding. God, that fight with Ragnaros was so epic at the time. It's insane that we actually found forty people to coordinate with. It's funny, too, because these guys are WoW-exclusive. They're all just no-name monster men. And yet, they're still just super cool and I love them. Remember arguing over whether skinning the corehounds was guild property or personal property? Remember when Blizzard realized it had accidentally made it impossible for paladins to skin high-level monsters because we couldn't use knives? I sure do. Blackrock Depths Protoss Unit Annoyed Quotes Hidden Areas in WoW Classic Defias Brotherhood Terran Campaign Ending Cinematic (StarCraft 1) - Stay a While and Listen Jeff Kaplan Dinoflask Videos Wasteland Patrol Witchwood (Hearthstone Trailer) Demon Hunter (Diablo) Daelin Proudmoore Funeral Crash Incident Galvadon (Theme) Siege Tanks Reinhardt Wilhelm: Reinhardt is great in both gameplay terms and as a character. In gameplay, he's THE tank. All other tanks are measured against him. A simple shield that your allies are too stupid to stand behind, a melee attack that does a lot of damage, a charge attack that will sometimes work, throwing a fireball thingy, and an AoE knockdown effect. VERY simple kit, but very effective. As a character? He's just this big, boisterous crazy old man. 8/10, very nice. I like how his birthdate is the same year that Overwatch came out, nice little easter egg there. His medieval armor-meets-modern-technology is a pretty good look, too. Again, you compare this to the tank in Concord, the big woman with blue lips, and it's night and day in terms of quality. Duskwood The Culling of Arthas (UMS Map) Roadhog Ghost (Unit) Gnomeregan Pokmon RPG StarCraft UMS Maps SCVs, Drones, and Probes Human Campaign (WC3) Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker Karazhan (Raid) Mercenary Heroes (TFT): Holy FUCK, I just remembered Rexxar. Remember him? He's played up like a significant person in TFT, but he does nothing in WoW at all, at least for the first three expansions. All he does is walk around in Desolace all day. Not even important enough for Alliance to form raids to kill. Anyway, these were a cool idea, and they were implemented competently. I remember that most of them are very mana-hungry, so Nelves get the most use out of them because of moonwells. But none of them will ever be your primary hero. None of them are as good as the archmage, deathknight, blademaster, or demon hunter. You're buying a merc hero because you want someone who does something that your regular army can't do, so orcs are buying the sea witch because they want someone who can do AoE magic, etc. It's a clever idea, and it lets the game add a bunch of options without actually restricting anyone else, which is neat! It's neat. Dark Ranger is the one I remember using the most, just because of her silence spell being busted. Why the hell she has Charm is beyond me, though. I know you can theoretically mind control a powerful creep and get its "not meant to be used by players" abilities, but that was so impractical that it barely mattered. Anyway, this concept also opens up the worldbuilding, giving you all kinds of implications about the greater world outside of your wars who barely care, like the goblins. And that the fact that you hire them at a tavern is really funny. But man, I'm gonna level with you: I do not remember the Firelord at all. I don't think I saw this thing get used literally ever. Is it actually super awful? That said... the very balanced human army is I think the one that gets the least use out of this. Humans have no real weaknesses in WC3, so they don't really need any mercs to fill their gaps.

God, these things are cool. There's a reason why they're in all of the art as the default Zerg unit instead of the Zergling. I love how they're corruptions of a peaceful herbivore, I love how the have giant hideous carapace heads, I love how their attack is to shoot their own vertebrae at targets (their scythe hands never actually get used), they're just so perfectly gross and dangerous-looking and cool. The perfect fusion of insect, Xenomorph, and snake.Samwise Didier: WoW, I thought this was going to be another sex pest nomination, but this guy simply invented the art style for Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo, the Panderan species, and the name "-craft?"

It was just a random PUG, I was the tank with my "better than average but not great" equipment, there was a very high-tiered decked-out rogue, and three randoms beyond that. So we get in, we get however far enough to lock us in for the day so there's no point in leaving, and then it becomes very obvious that the two other DPS and healer are just the worst you've ever seen. The healer just did zero healing, I had to bust out every trick I had to keep up with just the basic enemies, and the two other DPSes just did no damage. I was doing as much as both of them combined. We wiped at least six times on the second significant fight, until the rogue finally cursed everyone and said in all caps that we're the worst group he's ever seen, that he can't believe we're this bad, etc, and leaves in a rage. Then like five minutes later he whispered to me "actually you were alright, sorry about that."Level 40 MountJunkenstein's RevengeCrittersMolten Core: THE 40-man raid, along with Onyxia. This is as far as I ever got in my own raiding. God, that fight with Ragnaros was so epic at the time. It's insane that we actually found forty people to coordinate with. It's funny, too, because these guys are WoW-exclusive. They're all just no-name monster men. And yet, they're still just super cool and I love them. Remember arguing over whether skinning the corehounds was guild property or personal property? Remember when Blizzard realized it had accidentally made it impossible for paladins to skin high-level monsters because we couldn't use knives? I sure do.Blackrock DepthsProtossUnit Annoyed QuotesHidden Areas in WoW ClassicDefias BrotherhoodTerran Campaign Ending Cinematic (StarCraft 1)- Stay a While and ListenJeff Kaplan Dinoflask VideosWasteland PatrolWitchwood (Hearthstone Trailer)Demon Hunter (Diablo)Daelin ProudmooreFuneral Crash IncidentGalvadon (Theme)Siege TanksReinhardt Wilhelm: Reinhardt is great in both gameplay terms and as a character. In gameplay, he's THE tank. All other tanks are measured against him. A simple shield that your allies are too stupid to stand behind, a melee attack that does a lot of damage, a charge attack that will sometimes work, throwing a fireball thingy, and an AoE knockdown effect. VERY simple kit, but very effective. As a character? He's just this big, boisterous crazy old man. 8/10, very nice. I like how his birthdate is the same year that Overwatch came out, nice little easter egg there. His medieval armor-meets-modern-technology is a pretty good look, too. Again, you compare this to the tank in Concord, the big woman with blue lips, and it's night and day in terms of quality.DuskwoodThe Culling of Arthas (UMS Map)RoadhogGhost (Unit)GnomereganPokmon RPG StarCraft UMS MapsSCVs, Drones, and ProbesHuman Campaign (WC3)Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the WindseekerKarazhan (Raid)Mercenary Heroes (TFT): Holy FUCK, I just remembered Rexxar. Remember him? He's played up like a significant person in TFT, but he does nothing in WoW at all, at least for the first three expansions. All he does is walk around in Desolace all day. Not even important enough for Alliance to form raids to kill. Anyway, these were a cool idea, and they were implemented competently. I remember that most of them are very mana-hungry, so Nelves get the most use out of them because of moonwells. But none of them will ever be your primary hero. None of them are as good as the archmage, deathknight, blademaster, or demon hunter. You're buying a merc hero because you want someone who does something that your regular army can't do, so orcs are buying the sea witch because they want someone who can do AoE magic, etc. It's a clever idea, and it lets the game add a bunch of options without actually restricting anyone else, which is neat! It's neat. Dark Ranger is the one I remember using the most, just because of her silence spell being busted. Why the hell she has Charm is beyond me, though. I know you can theoretically mind control a powerful creep and get its "not meant to be used by players" abilities, but that was so impractical that it barely mattered. Anyway, this concept also opens up the worldbuilding, giving you all kinds of implications about the greater world outside of your wars who barely care, like the goblins. And that the fact that you hire them at a tavern is really funny. But man, I'm gonna level with you: I do not remember the Firelord at all. I don't think I saw this thing get used literally ever. Is it actually super awful? That said... the very balanced human army is I think the one that gets the least use out of this. Humans have no real weaknesses in WC3, so they don't really need any mercs to fill their gaps.Jaina ProudmooreMarine (Unit)Johnbobb's Hypothetical Junkertown Smash StageTyraelUndead Campaign (WC3)Twilight of the GodsLight v Tempest</quote> ...

Anagram 10/26/24 11:57:17 AM #395:	StarCraft vs Halo Match (2004): I don't actually remember this match that well. I'm very bad at these contests, I've entered all of them and only been on the leaderboard once. But I do remember clicking StarCraft without even thinking about the seed numbers, and then StarCraft won, and I thought... "Well, yeah, obviously." The best contest match was, is, and forever will be Link vs Draven vs Shepard. Nothing else will ever even come close. Whenever someone makes a contest match ranking and that's not #1, they're just wrong. They're just wrong. But it is funny, and it really speaks to this site's demographics, that Halo, which is only three years younger than StarCraft, gets like 1% of the respect. This truly is the site for people born in the late 80s. Stop Poking Me Meat Hook Vespene Gas Dragoon (Word) Hemet Nesingwary Jim Raynor Nukes Diablo 1 Recreation Event (Diablo III) Overwatch (Game) Uther the Lightbringer: A pretty flat character, but he plays a good Obi-Wan to Arthas' Luke, until things go off the rails. I like how Uther is just extremely judgmental of everything Arthas does, he makes zero attempt to reason with Arthas or talk him down or anything. Just "I won't kill those people" and then later "I'm gonna kill you now." Jaina does a lot of "I wish I'd done things differently, how responsible am I for the actions of the people around me?" and Uther is 100% "Fuck you, this is all your own choice, I have nothing but contempt for you and your friends." And you know what? To an extent, he's right. Arthas' decisions were his own, but... there still was nothing else he could have done in Stratholme. There is no way anyone had the time to build Uther a tomb in the Western Plaguelands, by the way. That place should logically have been crawling with undead since the end of the war. Anyway, solid character, thank God he never shows up again in a later expansion and turns into a blue angel.

I would stay a while and listen. And that's what no one else did. Anyway, Deckard Cain is cool. He's barely a character, he's just the old mentor who knows a little about what's going on. As far as mascots for series go, you can do way worse than him. He's more entertaining than Diablo! At least he has a meme! Why Diablo 3 kills him is beyond me. It achieves nothing for the plot, and his role as the guy who knows things is immediately taken over by Tyrael. D3 is also the game that introduces the very sympathetic Leah character, then kills her in the cruelest way possible. Deeply unfortunate writing.

I was that kind of kid. Illidan is just so damn cool. It's always cool when you have someone use the forbidden dark arts against the evildoers, and then get judged for it by the more traditional good guys. He's just so utterly unlike every other depiction of an elf, being this giant buff guy with a blindfold and demonic powers. I've talked a lot about pathos, and yeah, Illidan gets it all. He's the guy who will do anything for his people, even damn himself. He's the guy who was rejected by the woman he loves, and still holds a candle for her. He's the guy who fights back against the demons by assembling an army of rejects and outcasts. He's the guy who's pursued by a madwoman who can only see things in black and white. Everything cool in WC3 is challenged into Illidan and Arthas, and they are by far the most compelling and interesting characters as a result. And while Arthas gets an okay WoW death (even if it's made worse in Shadowlands), Illidan really, truly does not. It is baffling that Illidan is even a bad guy in WoW, it just makes no sense. Completely bizarre writing. If I was ignoring WoW, then Illidan would be in the second highest tier, but because I shat all over Sylvanas and Kael, I guess I have to do the same for him.

He at least has the smallest amount of pathos, with his love for his brother overpowering his ability to permanently deal with the situation, and his willingness to keep giving Illidan chances, but WoW ruins that by having Illidan just go crazy and have to be put down, which damages Malfurion as well. By the way, remember how in WC3 vanilla, he's Furion, and "Malfurion" was just his full name that's in the manual, but TFT just has everyone use the full name? It's funny that in a series where everyone's names are very on-the-nose, Furion is the least furious character. Like, there's so little to say about this guy, he's just generally a wise and good ancient leader. Thank God we never got another one of them, right, Velen? And like...
