I love the overall story of WoW but the individual characters are so terribly written.

Yrel was such a letdown. All that potential for the famed Joanne d’Arc character of Warcraft, and they didn’t just blow it - they annihilated it.

The worst part is that I still sorta liked her. Then came the Mag’har scenario.

I remember them very openly stating prior to WoD’s launch that she would become a new central Alliance leader.

Lol. So much for that.

Best: Grand Apothecary Putress, Lich King, Nazgrim, Dagran Thaurissan, Uther.

Worst: Sylvanas, Wrathion, Nathanos, Tyrande, Y’rel.

Reason Wrathion is worse is ‘cause Blizzard were teasing him calling out the the Burning Legion for another invasion yet he was no where to be seen in Legion and it kinda’ ruined him for me. His only introduction back into the storyline is just for the purpose of a legendary cloak which is something he has now grown accustomed to. Yrel is there too as well… she’s Yrel. Though we did see her after decades after WoD in the Mag’har questline, but not much so she remains one of my worst until Blizzard changes her in the future.

League of E.V.I.L is legit probably the best characters in all of warcraft-related lore, with these 2 goons taking the top spot.

But… but Dadghar.

I can’t think of characters I genuinely like, but I think I look with disgust at most who made the Horde a joke.

The Quintet that is Anduin, Saurfang, Baine, Mayla and I guess Jaina post getting back her brother.

Although I guess you could say big up to the Alliance NPC’s for making the horde a joke.

Okay, I actually really like Nathanos for not crazily worshipping or revering the land that the PC walks on (something even the villains do, even if they’re a little tsundere about it usually)

Ok that’s first character I know I don’t like.

Nathanos living in this thread’s collective conciousness rent free. Jung would be proud.

We’re all just a bit salty at him. I will admit that.
