If it's Mt. Arreat then they're obligated to release Baal with it.

Like I'm super surprised that the game has been out three years and we still don't have the other two Prime Evils.

Liadrin is a fan favorite in the wow community but i doubt she would represent Ret paladin before Tirion with ashbringer showed up.

Not that this is my preference or anything but I’d base this more on character recognition than the vocal majority. Ashbringer Tirion will sell more t-shirts than leader of horde blood knights.

Okay, what if it's Arreat and the D2 Paladin? I hope they keep the trend of the D2 heroes being older than their successors going. I want a Morgan Freeman-looking motherfucker to smite some evil.

I imagine poo poo gets lost in translation constantly and that it makes it to the public so rarely is the real surprise.

This game does not need any draenei in it, and especially not that one.

I always kind of liked Draenei in wow, nobody really played them much because they looked kind of weird and were just wedged into the game's story out of nowhere, but i thought they were cool and mained the illogical combo of female draenei death knight (with horns!)

Dranei were introduced in WC3 as really dumpy-looking crappos with bad teeth. When WoW made them a playable race, it said "oh, those are lovely mutants. Real Draenei are handsome and buff paladin types." They also went from being natives of Draenor alongside the orcs to being aliens exiled from the demon homeworld because they wouldn't drink the Demonade. So it's not that they're weird, it's that they are one of the biggest retcons around.

It's not even that. It's that all draenei, including broken, are poo poo. Even moreso now that the truth is unveiled that they are religious crusaders who want everyone to kneel to the Light.

He's a Priest that wears plate armor and uses a sword, while keep in mind Priests are famous for being the only (?) class Incapable of actually using swords.

Still totally a Priest yessir.

I hope if they really want to push that narrative, there's a skin for Anduin that's him in the BfA cinematic armor that makes his auto attack using the sword. Only he attacks incredibly slowly because he doesn't know how to use it, and it does the same pitiful mage-style AA damage as you'd expect from Anduin. Sweeten it with audip design - have Anduin visibly struggling to swing it, it doesn't make much of an oomph of a sound, and he complains at you for making him use his melee attack - ala Abathur or Cain.

At some point, somebody is gonna smack him and go "What, you think you can just slap on a set of plate armor and call yourself a paladin? Get outta here."

When Varian is on his team, have him say something like "So, never got around to those sword lessons huh?"

If Anduin isn't already a shoe-in for this year (he is) then he sure is now with this Yrel reveal. Assuming they wanted to increase the racial diversity of their WoW heroes then Velen is the game's only other big name draenei but he is also a priest, and there's no way they're releasing two WoW priest heroes close to each other. You heard it here first.

Gonna kill myself if Nazeebo doesn't get an actual decent new skin soon. The fact he didn't get a sweet day of the dead looking one for this most recent event is a tragedy.

Best not looking at the Nexomania portraits then.

There is a cartoonish one for Nazeebo, I think that's the only one that does not belong to an actual skin.

Lunara and Sonya don't even particularly make sense with that theme, they're not Mexican. Diablo has a Spanish name at least, and Kharazim is a boxer I guess. E.T.C. also has nothing to do with Mexico and his skin doesn't even look very distinctive compared to the ton of poo poo he already had.

Should have been Mariachi vikings, DotD Nazbo, Xul and Malthael with Grim Fandango faces.
