The Ballad of the Mighty One-Button
Oh gather ye round, both noob and knight,
And hear of a patch that sparked a fight.
In Azeroth, where dragons roam,
Came one wee button to shake the throne!
(Chorus)
Oh one button, bold and true,
With a single press, the mobs you slew!
While the min-max crowd did cry and pout,
You cleared the raid—then logged right out!
The rogues did weep, the priests declared:
“My skill’s been nerfed! I’m unprepared!”
A warlock fainted mid-Twitch stream,
As macros killed their DPS dream.
Some cried, “It’s casual filth, I say!
Remove this blight! Take it away!”
But others danced and drank with glee,
“I do top charts—hands off my knee!”
(Chorus)
Oh one button, sly and sly,
You made the spreadsheets wave goodbye!
No more rotations, stress or strife,
Just mash and loot—what a lovely life!
The devs just laughed and sipped their tea,
“We only made it for World Quest spree…”
But lo, the cries still shake the air—
“IT’S RUINED!” shouted someone’s bear.
So sing with me, ye heroes all,
Of keybinds lost and forum brawls.
For though the game lives on just fine,
We’ll always mourn… the skill decline.
(Final chorus)
Oh one button, bright and bold,
You broke the meta, shattered the mold!
They called it doom, the end, the fall—
But truth be told… it changed sod all!
