Does anyone else just HATE Nathanos?

I hate his dialogue and his attitude and his text. He’s so condescending and rude and violent and I just don’t like him at all. I hate interacting with him and it’s making me avoid the overall quest line, because I really just hate his everything. I’ve been raped and emotionally abused and everything about him just pulls up really awful memories, because he kinda emulates that sort of person. He’s an excellent purple man from Jessica Jones, but is that really what we need as a quest giver? I am about to just give up the storyline because I hate dealing with him that much, especially his nasty mean condescending messages.

Maybe it’s just the Horde in general - everything is so violent, and seems to celebrate that violence. I don’t enjoy most of the quest lines outside of the questing zones. It’s all very violent and seems to revel in murder. It used to be easier to ignore, but I don’t enjoy playing just PvE very much at all anymore because the quests have become really murderous. I’ve hated it since WoD and the Orcs celebrating slaughter. Our RL world is wild and the questlines like the ones in WoD feel SO out of date. Nathanos feels like that, to me - a poorly conceived concept who has aged VERY badly and who should be retired ASAP. I really wish they would rethink Nathanos - he feels like he’s about 5 years out of date.

I love to hate Nathanos.

Should I seek professional help?

He’s probably the worst character in WoW, imo. Even more annoying than Med’an. I’d definitely scoot him under my hated list.

Also he has a cool dog mount, and I want it. I want to punch him and steal his dog.

Nope, I like him.

The reason for his plain moodiness is that undeath tends to make negative emotions manifest more often.

Nathan-kun-chan-sempai-sensei-sama-donno is just very stressed. Everyone should stop giving him a hard time!

I am actually hoping he stabs Sylvannas in the back and while she is dying, again, emotionlessly walks back to his cabin in the plaguelands and reopens his demon puppy mill.

Hate is such a strong word, I just want to see his reason for living destroyed and him killed shortly after.

But I do like his coat, it is very nice.

Just slap him across the face whenever he says something that you just can’t tolerate. He just stands there like an idiot because he knows you’re the Dark Lady’s champion. :joy:

Nah, i love the Dark Daddy!

Even if you hate him you cant say he doesn’t have a sexy coat and voice.

I think that already happened

Definitely the worst character added to wow in a long time. He screams self-insert Sylvanas waifu lover

Yet, he did not learn from that first lesson so we must teach him again and burn the body this time.

I don’t really mind him. Hated him in Legion at first, but he’s grown on me somewhat. I kind of like his snarky personality and disregard for our “hero” status. Could do without the Sylvanas worship. Still despise her beyond all reason, but I can work with Nathanos.

Nathanos does a lot of trash-talking for someone who is basically useless.

He literally contributed nothing during the Burning Legion’s largest invasion.

What I hate most about him is his out most utter disrespect to the champion of the horde.

You helped killed the lich king? “So what?”

You slayed deathwing with thrall and all the great dragon aspects? “Meh, anyone could do that”

You helped overthrew the mad Warchief? “Not impressed”

Became a champion of your class and dismantled one of the greatest threats to the universe? “Seems like a waist of time”

Champions of the horde replacing dark rangers for a warzone “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

So he’s basically every player in trade chat? Just with fewer profanities?

Yeah, he actually has a voice line, where he laughs and mockingly says “Champion of the Horde?” Snort. And that pisses me off a lot, that’s one of the ones that triggers me, because it’s an actual achievement being downplayed and man does that make me remember some nasty awful exes who did that same lame stuff.

Yeah, his attitude is obnoxious, considering all the bull crap the “champion of the Horde” has dealt with this expansion while the rest of the Horde falls apart. I’m sick of following him and Sylvanas.

You just need to bust down that big wall of his. He hides his true emotions and affection because he doesn’t want to seem weak. Keep giving him lots of /hugs

One of these days he will pull a grinch and his heart will grow big! Assuming his body has a heart and it hasn’t decayed yet.
