Hello fellow Horde loyalists. Use this thread to explain to anyone why you hate Baine so much. I am happy and eager to see if we all can come together in our united distain for that character. To hell with Baine. May his treason pave the road to his death one day when he won’t be able any more to betray his own faction for a fragile peace with the alliance.
Sure. Let’s express hate for one of the few racial leaders that does what he can to PREVENT the deaths of his people, due to war and racial hatred. I mean…promoting peace IS why war-mongering players think he’s weak, right?
He doesn’t just promote peace. He goes out of his way to make sure the alliance has always the upper hand in the ongoing war. That was his motivation back at Theramore when his warning allowed Jaina and her forces to prepare the attack of Garrosh and hold them back by getting neutral support. Many brave Horde soldiers died because of this. Seeing him cry in agony when Theramore was nuked was balm to my soul. Seeing Baine being miserable fills me with joy.
I don’t hate Baine I hate the writing.
WoW has always been a comfort game for me as an Abuse Survivor now living with immense Trauma, CPTSD and Trust issues with Sylvanas being the most relatable character for me however during BFA and Shadowlands it’s been hard to find comfort in the game anymore due to the writing further butchering Sylvanas’ character.
But feel like this video does a good job of summarising my thoughts on that matter
Baine is trash. He needs to die. The fact that only alliance players defend him speaks volumes about the quality of the lore. They like him because he is ditching his ownj faction all the time to make sure the alliance can prosper.
And I’ll be honest, despite some of his flaws, I find him more interesting than the other Leaders who are always magically tricked by the “manipulated” Warchief in turn and at the end bring their hands to their heads as “Omg what have we done!?”
The most boring part of the story of the Horde is the same, boring, Warchief forcing the poor noble savages to do things because they lack the hooves to say no. Only the Tauren, because Cairne also stood his ground against the other one.
