Buzzcut paladin

Instead of just making fun of this ridiculous crap, I’ll try to make a simple point.
Not a single human unit in WC3 had short hair. Alliance had this very defined ‘medieval’ feel to it, and long hair was a part of it.

I had never realized that Lordaeron was Manowar land :rofl:

But it’s true. Imagine you summon a Paladin and you end up with the unmanly short haired dork.
Where’s the glory

I really hope they won’t force people to this ‘common’ paladin and in order to change it to Uther or something you have to buy that ‘skin’ it would be a really bad move

if they give him a helm on top of his buzzzcut, I dont care :smiley:

give him shiny eyes and when he comes, ‘ready to serve milord!’ :smiley: a proper military hammer, not one from stone quarry :smiley:

I hope they see this thread, shave him bald so he’s full chrome dome, and give him a big bushy moustache.

I don’t see the problem with the Buzzcut. I don’t like the look but from what we know we can just change.

Yaa I agree, his hair is kinda strange. But even with his hair looking like that, I think the rest of him looks great

13

Isn’t that a military flattop?

14

More like 90s school bully flattop.
Either way, this is not how medieval paladin knight should look like.

But millennials who grew up in the 90s would love it and find it appealing, if that’s BLZ’s target market.

It’s a good thing it’s a fantasy game and not a medieval one then.

Depends, and making fictional fantasy cultures ‘appealing’ to plebs doesn’t seem like a right way to depict them.
We’re used to this murican jock human appearance in WOW, but even in WOW it’s only Stormwind human feature, while Lordaeron is still more glorious, knightly and medieval.

Good thing it’s a medieval fantasy game, with kings, knights, castles, medieval-styled weapons and armor, etc.
Good thing Peter Jackson ain’t retarded and we don’t have flattop Aragorn or pompadour undercut Legolas because ‘it’s fantasy’.
Aesthetic matters.
Why, real medieval people did cut their hair, but manowar hair is an iconic medieval fantasy thing by now, as it happens (this is why I wrote ‘medieval’ in quotes in the OP), and it was a part of WC3 style, too, that’s a fact.

And since this guy has no comeback here he makes this comment about fedya lol.

This game has a special style and that haircut isn’t part of it.

yeah, it looks 100% terrible. Don’t know wtf they were thinking. Even in WoW you don’t see that haircut a lot.
