In the same category I’d file Rhonin. Time traveling, raptor army summoning, hawt Elven girlfriend sister to more relevant characters invented explicitly for him having, condensed awfulness.
Garrosh. He had so much potential. He had an amazing intro and they could have gone in almost any direction from there and had a slam dunk. Instead, they bounced all over the place with his depiction and just ruined what could have been WoW’s first iconic character created outside of the RTS games.
It just kills me that they could have given Garrosh the same arc but just given him actual character growth to explain his actions and it would have been awesome.
There was a reason Me’dan been being the Guardian of Azeroth if not the entire character as a whole been retconned.
Besides being a boring character on the scale of obtaining a full Netherite set with broken enchantments on Minecraft’s creative mode, him being Azeroth’s Guardian turned the series to World of Peacecraft.
Best lore character - I would say Thrall. He’s kind of like the face of the franchise. But of course he went through the Green Jesus arc.
Varian was freaking amazing though. That Legion cinematic brought tears in my eyes because Varian was just so damn cool.
Worst (besides Me’dan) - Might be controversial but I really don’t like Talanji. She’s just incredibly boring to me. Her father may have not been the brightest, but he had that sort of “Denathrius” effect where the voice acting was just so good and had so much personality that there is just no way you can’t like the guy.
I really wish we could see Rastakhan eventually in SL.
