D SC and WC can’t be the same universe because they each have different universe creation back stories.
For diablo it was basically god splitting up into angels and demons, in SC it was the xelnaga and in WC it was the titans.
I’m not saying it’s impossible that they share a universe but it is super unlikely since each of them have God like beings that somehow never interacted. It just doesn’t make sense.
Multiverse is fine though.

That skin is super ugly though.

I use the Dark Nexus skin on him. :stuck_out_tongue:

But the Titans didn’t create the Warcraft universe, they only “ordered” the planets in it. The universe was created from Void and Light touching, or something like that (which is remarkably similar to the Diablo one
 If you squint at it enough :stuck_out_tongue:).

Also, I’m not an expert in SC lore, but I think the Xel’Naga are similar?
They made the Protoss (the “first born”, 'cause apparently the Xel’Naga speak pig latin :stuck_out_tongue: ) and modified the Zerg, but they didn’t “create the universe”

Actually, I think the SC universe was created by
 The Big Bang. 'Cause it’s “this universe”, with Earth in it, and everything.

I like this, but I admit mild disappointment knowing Chen was yet yeeted over for the skin choice.

Maybe someday, when they can make it simple to add SE&F skins too


Well the way it’s presented is plenty vague. But there is a cycle every few million or billion years “unclear again”. And the universe basically always ends at the end of it and a new race must emerge to make another cycle. The xelnaga were the previous race that did this and they accelerated the protoss psionic prowess in the hopes that they’d become the ushers of the next cycle. But then the age of strife happened which was a massive Civil War amongst the protoss between the Templar and Nerazim, so the xelnaga saw them as a failure and went to zeres to push the zerg to evolve but then those got out of control and evolved and managed to fight back against the xelnaga forcing them back into the void.
Then probably hundreds of thousands of years later the SC story begins and amon who is one of the xelnaga kills all the other xelnaga (except for Duran who worked for him) and wants to destroy the whole universe and stop the cycle from constantly repeating.
Kerrigan then finally evolves and becomes xelnaga herself and defeats amon with help of Artanis and Raynor and basically saves the universe from being destroyed by amon/completely recreated it from scratch the way she remembered it. Again “unclear” ;D

I think it’s possible that all the universes are one universe but I would then want an explanation how none of these powerful entities never interacted. The xelnaga should know about the titans and old gods and eternal conflict.
The beings that later became the 7 prime evils and the angiris high council fought for probably thousands or hundreds of thousands of years before defeating one another. They would have explored every avenue to gain an advantage on their opponent.
That’s my only problem with it. Otherwise I dun mind.

Gazlowe got a SCV-Skin :hugs: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Well, Artanis makes sense for Dranei. And Arthas was already Kerrigan’s counterpart as Crimson count. Gazlowe was the best candidate for a Terran themed skin, and the Anduin thing was something players had been pointing out since he was released (And he and Mei only had one skin)

Nah, Idk if I’m alone in this or not, but I’m really rubbed the wrong way with the idea of Arthas being the King of Blades.

Given that both Kerrigan’s name and her “Queen of Blades” alias are based on a real life skater, then shouldn’t LĂșcio be the King of Blades, if anyone? :stuck_out_tongue:

Lucio is too young for this.

Well he was already:

  • King of Raids (double so if you think of him as a bug-killer for decimating the nerubian kingdom)
  • King of Jades (Mystic Kingdom skin)
  • King of Quede (archaic way to call something bad or evil)
  • King of Aid (can call his own helpers)
  • King of Wade, Cade, & Haydee (subjects in his court of course)
  • King of Played/Paid obvious cuz WotK was the most popular expansion (Don’t actually know if that’s true <.< >,> )
  • King of those laid to rest (the dead)

so really, it’s not all the much a stretch to have him rhyme with yet another title :stuck_out_tongue:

Well it’s more that I think the King of Blades should have been reserved for Raynor given their relationship.

Could have done a legendary skin with Will Ferrel redoing his role from Blades of Glory :stuck_out_tongue:
