have to rember one thing, bolvar had the helm, he didnt have frostmourne, a sword that gave Arthas immense power, way more power than bolvar could have had.
you could even se this in wrath, once the sword was broken Arthas lost, he had no chance at all.
Nowdays it’s , Evenly matched“
Not if you drop it in the line where I used Infinite Impermanence.
flashbackb to the recent YCS were someone put a foolish burial in the row and both player forgot
The Stream reaction was pretty fun.
For all the people who complain about how LichKing is OP etc, here is a quote from Chronicles 3, about how powerful Bolvar actually is:
Bolvar Fordragon was struggling to maintain control over the endless ranks of undead. The Lich King had directed them to make war upon the living, and it was difficult to quell their aggression. Bolvar fought to maintain his sanity; he had been a mighty paladin all his adult life, but the moment he had donned the Lich King’s helm, the Holy Light had abandoned him. His new necromantic powers warred with his sense of justice and righteousness, and it took nearly all his strength to keep the undead contained. Some pockets of the Scourge managed to break free of his control. Packs of undead in the Eastern Kingdoms continued to follow the Lich King’s old directives, mindlessly attacking anyone who dared to trespass in the Plaguelands. The most troubling blow to Bolvar’s hold over the Scourge resulted from an unexpected event: the second death of Sylvanas Windrunner. For years, Sylvanas had been dedicated to killing Arthas Menethil, the man who had ripped her soul from her body and transformed her into his unwilling servant. Now he was dead, and she had not even had the satisfaction of killing him herself. Longing for peace from her tormented existence, Sylvanas flung herself from the top of Icecrown Citadel.
Alliance and the Horde had discovered and experimented with this mysterious element. It had many intriguing properties, one of which was that it could destroy the body and soul of the undead. Sylvanas was cast into a bleak, terrifying afterlife. Spectral beings known as the Val’kyr found her soul there and gave her a glimpse of her people’s future. Without her to protect them, the Forsaken would be squandered by the Horde and eventually made extinct. The Val’kyr offered a pact: they would return Sylvanas’s soul to her body, but only if she would bind herself to them. The Val’kyr longed to finally be free from the Lich King’s control, and they would gladly serve the Banshee Queen in exchange. Sylvanas agreed, and she returned to Azeroth to continue leading the Forsaken. Bolvar was shocked to feel that his connection with the Val’kyr had suddenly been severed. When he tried to reestablish his will over them, they did not respond. It was as if they now served another master. Bolvar considered this event a lesson learned, and he embraced his fate. Not only did he have to keep the undead from harming the living, but he must also keep others from misusing the Scourge’s power.
In short, its the “Edge of Night” from Bolvars POV in which he lost the Valkyr to Sylvannas, and it is mentioned he was struggling to control the Scourge. So literally NOTHING hints that Bolvar was OP in any way other than headcanon or lore nostalgia from the fans really… sry
