Hot Takes thread

Drop a hot take in this thread!

The story in Draenor while leveling are still top tier to this day. Not saying it’s the best but it did get me hooked on right away!

As much as i feel like Ion and his team deserve a lot of the crap they get for pushing out bad content, i feel like many of us are so unhappy with the franchise and Blizzard as a whole that we’ll be unhappy no matter what. We’re never going to get back the glory days because they can only really happen once, someone new could have their own glory days in current content but old hats don’t have a chance in hell of that.

Spamming GD with sexual topics seems to be a hot take lately. :man_feeding_baby:

The “Sylvanas simping” the story team has done has only served to advance misogynistic stereotypes of being overly emotional, irrational, and gullible.

Gnomes are the superior race on Azeroth and y’all are just too jelly to admit it.

…except when it comes to liberating their city from troggs.

Pfff. We just recognised that living like a hobo was better, long before the rest of azeroths champions. It just goes to prove how far ahead we are.

The missuse of Anub’arak ruined WotLKs story.

Wrath was actually terrible. Naxxramas 10man is an insult to naxxramas.

Even if Blizzard said “Lets hire the whole FFXIV team and let them lead WoW!” people will still hate Blizzard for anything

People should get off the forums, WoW in general if the game makes you that angry

At the same time, I think white knights should let people say their piece, Blizzard doesn’t need their own little attack dogs hanging on the forums defending them in every thread.

As long as you encounter enemies, you are going the right way.

Shadowlands is a step in the right direction for the future of WoW. It did take till 9.2 to fix the more glaring issues, but this patch has made me more optimistic about WoW than before.

Paladins are actually not as bad of a class as people tend to make them out to be.
I’ve met plenty of friendly Paladin mains just as much as I have met bad ones. And the class actually has pretty interesting gameplay.

Playing a human in a fantasy game doesn’t make you boring. Humans actually have very rich lore in WoW that makes them interesting on a lore standpoint. And transmog wise they look great too.

Shadowlands is not as awful as everyone says it is. But I still can’t bring myself to level a majority of my toons beyond 50 because it hurts to level through it.

Yrel was a “hot take”. :stuck_out_tongue: She still considered waifu material? Probably not now that she went all zealot…

I hate that Yrel didn’t come back with us. I liked her.

She was very pretty in the cinematic. But yeah shes a zealot now? Its in the Mag’Har quest when you recruit that allied race.

I love draenor leveling and the atmosphere of the garrison and how you went around recruited companions. The rest of the expansion was meh though.

As for my hot take I’m willing to completely forgive Sylvanas because in the end she’s a victim of bad writing and it’s not her fault

I never unlocked the Mag’har so I didn’t know about this tbh.

Partial bad writing, partial bad character. I’m not willing to forgive her because she did genocide an entire race over such lack of critical thinking. The Jailer agreement between Sylvanas and him should have never existed.

War of Lordaeron and War of Thorns should have never existed.

I did enjoy the cinematic with her screaming at herself calling herself a monster.
