What's the biggest lore mistake Blizzard has ever made?

Ah yes, the “human potential”, gotta make the humans look good. For some reason the Alliance needs races that are thousands of years old to bow down to a human king that lived maybe a few decades. And how absurd it is became apparent when said king died and his son who wasn’t even 20 at the time had to lead the alliance during a legion invasion to Azeroth.

What’s that? Why do you have to lead the alliance when pretty much every other leader is more experienced and capable? Well… shut up Anduin, it’s not like they matter. We have Kul Tiras next expansion and we need human focus. We’re decimating the night elves and we’re not gonna write draenei into the story, and gnomes are treated as a joke.

Locking players down to two factions.

Still don’t get the obsession with Anduin… Jailer wanted him for something and Azeorth wants him for something.

Did Onyxia or Benedictus feed him the key to the universe or something? Otherwise he’s just a plain ordinary human.

Everything about demons is a moronic, incomprehensible mess.

  • At first, they are a fundamentally evil creatures from Twisting Nether (sounds like a role they just replaced with void lords BTW)

  • Next they are all dumb demon grunts, but there are dreadlords who are extra evil, smart demons, and don’t ever really die, and they also somehow mind broke Sargeras with their fundamental “evilness”, and made him evil as well.
    Also, Archimonde and Kiljaeden are now just victim race of space aliens corrupted by fel and Sargeras, not actual demons.

  • Scratch that, all demons are now just space victim aliens corrupted by Sargeras into serving his military force, the Burning Legion. He is also a giant planet sized Arcane robot, but somehow is in charge of Fel “Le cosmological chart” force. (So who is the OG demon and master of fel?!?!)

  • WoD arrives, the demons are now interdimensional, time-traveling mega empire that is connected to all quantum/string-theory alternate universes, and they conquer all of them at the same time. There are no AU demons.

  • Remember how only dreadlords were immortal? Now all demons are immortal, and can only truly die inside of the Twisting nether dimension.

  • Scratch that, let’s bring back Archimonde for no reason, kill him again outisde Twisting Nether, but he dies permanently.

  • Repeat the same for all the demons killed in Legion, including dreadlords, the super evil OG demons.

(important Caveat - Illidan somehow destroys the Dreadlord homeworld in Twisting Nether, Xoroth, sometime after wc3 events)

  • Legion ends, somehow Burning Legion is no longer a multiverse time traveler empire, and Sargeras is just really really scared of purple tentacles. He is just misunderstood, and gets house arrest by dead titan spirits, whom he previously was able to easily slaughter solo…

  • SL arrives, Dreadlords are not demons lmao. They are death creatures from double hell afterlife dimension , and servants of Sargeras^2, the Jay Lor, who hates his Pantheon 2.0 friends.
    Dreadlords orchestrated the Burning Legion and the Scourge.

So there are NO demons lol, and there is no demonic creature that originated from the Twisting Nehter.

I’d combat it with, Malfurion being this ridculously powerful without proper explanation. Why would he be stronger than Wild Gods combined?
And that having ridiculously powerful NPCs is a disaster for storytelling - becuase if they’re so strong why won’t they fight the threaths themselves head on, and we have to sacrifice the soldiers instead?

To me the worst thing is titan facility, blood trolls and sethrak in the Zandalar.
They were not meant to be there, You’re telling me that Zandalari - the scholar society didn’t bother to research Uldir over thousands of years.
Apparently when ou think of peak of troll civilisation you think “Let’s poot grotesque canibals in the middle of their home”.

And showing another empire in In the territory of Zandalar was just…

I’d rather get an actual Zandalari lore, learn more about their caste system, see their rural regions. They could’ve thrown strange new concepts to Kul’Tiras, heck even foxes would fit there better.
