I don’t mean it about his motivations, or his design, or how he was retroactively inserted as the mastermind behind WC3.
I mean that the dude had the power of unbreakable mind control.
The only thing that can stop his mind control is breaking line of sight while he is casting the spell.
We are fighting in a round arena without any obstacles to hide behind.
Every condition is in his favor.
All he has to do is to keep using his mind control to take us one by one until he wins.
So what does he do?
He raises pillars from the ground so we can use them to break line of sight.
Why are you dumb, The Jailer?

The ability is enabled by chafing his nipples against the runes on those pillars.
He’s a robot. Must have been some deeply secret code forcing him to summon pillars. Or perhaps the very object he was trying to absorb was summoning them for us instead.
Who really knows? The Jailer started as a cool concept. Ended really poorly. I don’t know what your religion or no religion is - a robot is not the cool answer for the god of Death.

What if that robot is the Terminator?

…maybe he wanted to be defeated? Like an Old God? 
Even the Jailer wanted Shadowlands to end.

The automated afterlife 3D printer in the secret land of death-beyond-death(which included a tease for another layer below it) was one of the most baffling parts to me. SL as a whole was stupid, but the last half of ZM was stupid in a uniquely mind-bending way.

Im pretty sure SL was just a social experiment in how much lore they could destroy and still convince people to show up.

Was he? I mean very very technically, weather we like it or not, he played Arthas since WC3, and in turn all of us
I know no one likes it, but that’s what happened
The Whaler
Hence the inability to understand los issues since he normally hunts whales who cannot los

If Blizzard does it and doesn’t see it as a bad thing, given what we already know about Shadowlands.
It would demonstrate the true reality of the Shadowlands villains.
In other words, The Jailer was never the villain of the expansion; he’s like the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight. He was just a rabid dog let off the leash. The Jailer was just a slave to the most mastermind, and I wish Blizzard wouldn’t forget. I hope the theory, A PUPPET is true, given that the shadow only showed the true face of the one he trusted the most several times, and that he allowed himself to be kidnapped to CREATED THE Frostmourne and Helm of Domination, and that the Naztherzim, his new creation Sire Denatrius, would take him.
Yeah… I’m talking about Primus. Remember that in the ending cinematic, he didn’t show his true face. He was the leader of Maldraxxus, a place where the most powerful warriors, strategists, and soldiers who died in honor of battle arrived. He was obviously a great sage of strategy and cheat in war.
It was obvious that it was all for his tricks: creating a fake villain who would act as he is, hiding his true identity for a kind and friendly one in which he helps us. All this time, he was such a mysterious character that Blizzard should have taken advantage of it for the future World Soul Saga.
But the question remains: what was his purpose?
That’s why The Jailer is a cliché villain who only does more bad things, and that in the new era, when it’s already clear that we’re tired of them, Blizzard needs to reveal the true intentions of Primus himself. For me, he was the true villain of all of Shadowlands and its expansion.
Only cool thing about him , was his name
The Jailer was the Lich King without the WC3 back story.
Yes. I will die on this hill.
Has anyone ever gotten their one phone call? Not me.
