>>714682831 (OP)Why was there one orc that was just an asian stereotype? All other orcs were the โNobel savage tribesmenโ archetype thing going on but this MF was Ching Chong to the max.
>>714683076because blizzard was still cool when warcraft 3 was made
>>714682831 (OP)<incomprehensible orcrish>
>>714683076Because orcs are supposed to be a stereotype of ALL "honorable" tribesmen cultures.
>>714683076As a hero he's a samurai/ninja archetype, weirds a katana, goes invisible, creates illusions like Naruto, and critical strikes you. His voice is appropriately weebish, plus Blademaster is not a lore character so there's no concern if it makes sense. His lore equivalent Grom has no accent like this

At least I think that's what he said.
>>714686101The Undead vs. Night Elf meta is even more hilarious.
>Undead can frame 1 ghoul rush NE base to force the NE player to constantly micro and move their sprites.>Early siege unit that can take out moon pools in 3-4 hits>Wyvern deliberately OP>NE has no counter or answer for Abomination rushing until they have 3rd tier units and upgrades>NE also has to micro manage mana while Undead can literally just build 3 crypts and set their spawn on the enemy NE's base and watch.
>>714683561 might as well start a patreon too while we're at it, call it "Fund the Horde" and every tier gets you a different grunt voiceline mp3. $10 a month gets you an exclusive โLokโtar subscriptionar!โ
>>714686101Worst? Humans traditionally dominated tournaments, undead is the weakest and least flexible race, they basically got one strat. Humans are probably the hardest though, they share a terran curse of requiring you to micro a shitton of things
>>714686101Humans are literally the strongest race, you retard. Night elves are the most brainded.
>>714686947Stop watching Happy play, he's not representative of what you'll experience if you play online. People like you have killed RTS with dumb comments like this.
Replaying the RoC campaigns on hard, I'm starting to realize how rough the Undead campaign is designed.
>your new units go from ghouls/shades to meat wagons to necromancers to crypt fiends to banshees/gargoyles to frost worms to abominations
>early on most of your units are fragile as fuck, nothing you have besides Arthas has above 400 hp
>elf missions on hard are annoying with priests being able to dispel skeletons meaning you got to send several waves of skeletons before moving your army in to get rid of their mana
>missions 2-4 require you to build a base from scratch every single time and there's nothing to speed up the process, mission 3 barely has secrets to do while you wait for gold and lumber
>3-5 requires Arthas hold onto an Urn which removes an item slot and 4 has a key you have to ditch another item for
Meanwhile human throws a good combination of units at you with footmen, rifleman, priests, and mortar teams early, Orcs give grunts, headhunters, raiders, catapults, and kodo beasts by the third mission, and night elves have archers, huntresses, dryads, and glaive throwers by then. The latter half of the Undead missions at least end up being good, and they get better in TFT, but it feels like a slog for the first half.
>>714693072The entirety of RoC is awesome. TFT is where it gets annoying. Mainly due to the naga and boat based missions. I hated that shit in Heroes 3 too.
>>714693072i enjoyed the game showing how badass arthas truly is. 0 bullshit type of guy, constantly mogging and humiliating his enemies. he is the type of anti-hero/villain thats missing in most games today in my opinion

>>714693072yeah, getting at least fiends earlier would've been nice
>>714693072just spam zigs lol. every level gets stomped by the tower spam strat except for that one night elf rush mission where you have 5 minutes to win
>>714694150Arthas canonically beats up a ton of powerful lore figures on his way to become the Lich King, even Illidan was technically stronger but Arthas had a greater desire to win that day and took advantage of him doing an incredibly stupid move, managing to outdo him despite being outnumbered. It's also kind of interesting how ambiguous his emotions are, including calling a Paladin brother and imploring they let them get what they came for. He just wants to get shit done and doesn't put up with anyone's shit and shows why he was picked as the Lich King's champion. Sort of the opposite of the the human campaign where people continuously hold him back. There's a good reason he is set up so we'll.
>>714693072Stop it. You'll make me want to replay the campaigns again. Don't even care how slow it is, it is so extremely comfy.
>>714699447I'd gladly help him with that
>>714686101Human is the late game powerhouse you just turtle and fast expand until you get there. It is kinda fucked up their one mid-game strat gets nerfed every patch for some reason.
Orc players love complaining that their race sucks to get other viable strats nerfed.

Amazing how literally everyone heard
>I'M A HERO AND OBEY
>>714686127>>714683076I was always confused why people said orcs were supposed to be nigs recently. I always assumed orcs were a play on mongols, at least in early Warcraft/early wow. I donโt know what theyโve become now.
>>714706278Ohhhh I thought he was saying I'm Samuro and a gay.
>>714691963I never understood why warriors didnโt have this in vanilla
>>714706384Because it went from being extremely racist to refer to black people as orcs to just black people are orcs for some reason.
I don't know why if anything I think because black people just decided they liked it.
>>714696195>so slow you can reliably react to itNothing more satisfying than cucking MKs bolt with a zeppelin snatch
>>714686947Everything about NE is dogshit, if you want to win there are only 2 strats 1. Mass Dryad with expo
2. Bear + Dryad
Literally nothing else works, they need to rework MG's and the other units need to be buffed, what's the point of 4 different light air units (Hippogryph, Hippogryph Rider, Faerie, Storm Crow) if they all get nuked anyways?

I'm not going to lie to you bros. 10 year old me busted a nut or 2 over the Harpies and Dryads.
>>714710424They completely gutted the game ever since Refunded, could have run their own servers with their balance
>>714716169Some Frozen Throne missions are fucked up. I couldn't beat some of them and I was a pretty high ranked player back in the day. That mission where you have to get the courier to the open water was nightmarish. And there are only two difficulties - easy as fuck, and hard as shit.
>>714706384yes they were originally fantasy mongol monsters later they turned into nigger hulks doesnt matter though cuz wow will never ever be canon
>>714716982It feels like an utter parody, and the worst part is that they could have LITERALLY JUST MADE A NEW CHARACTER!
THEY DID THIS SHIT WITH THE HORDE TOO, ONE OF THE NEW ORC WOMEN WERE HARDLINERS, AND NOW SUDDENLY THEY ARE 'SUPER TOLERANT', IT'S STUPID!
>>714716948Dryads have another pair of tiddies on their back if you didn't know

>>714717256For me it was hearing how preppy and valley girl the Dryads were while seeing their 2003 triangle boobs jiggle. Harpies is self-explanatory. The sorceress was good but I never got too excited about her. Drow Ranger though had some massive fucking tits that even back then I knew I wanted to suck on.
>>714717152Normal feels like the one that gives you a bit of pushback but is otherwise never too frustrating. Hard is definitely made for those who can juggle all the bullshit, especially missions like the Night Elf mission to wake Malfurion where you have barely any time to get it done, the final Undead missions for both RoC and TFT, and the first Grom mission.
>>714717449It's a texture bug but the second pair is behind the leaf/hair, barely noticeable, on classic model ofc
>>714715252No? Everyone who made Warcraft III, Diablo II, Starcraft BW, and Vanilla WoW are apparently all racist, rapist boys club people. Even if that is all true, somehow they were the only ones capable of making good games at Blizzard.

>>714701625>He just wants to get shit done and doesn't put up with anyone's shit and shows why he was picked as the Lich King's champion. Sort of the opposite of the the human campaign where people continuously hold him backIronically, Arthas in the Undead Campaign listens to others for advice, relying on Kel-Thuzad and Anub'Arak. He knows he's damned, so he's even fine listening to TichondriusThe main difference is that Death Knight Arthas has responsibilities, not expectations.
Then the second undead mission has all the paladins call Arthas a spoiled brat. It shows that they never took him seriously, until they died. Kel-Thuzad and Anub'Arak were better advisors just because they actually respected him as a leader, rather than treating him with kiddy gloves.

>>714719628>Which WoW just has to continuously shit all over.Haven't even played WotLK, but I heard they butchered Anub'Arak by making him an involuntary slave who hated serving the Scourge. Then, of course, they keep recycling Kel'Thuzad.
Arthas had the right idea, a man of Uther's experience should have handled the situation better
>>714720059Oh now Kel'Thuzad was always working for the Jailer all along.
>>714683076Samwise Diddler is one of the original weeaboo thatguys.
Metzen could heroically hold him back on only so many things.
>>714701625I get that Arthas besting Illidan makes for a more interesting story development but it still feels contrived when Arthas was barely hanging on and Illidan was at full force
>>714719201nigga warlocks still exist
>>714719628Kill all retarded arthas apologists
>>714719329>>714701625Warcraft 3 is so good bros
Did they fix custom campaigns not working in Warcraft III?
>>714721015yeah when arthas first met illidan, they were evenly matched.
in their final bout, illidan was fully empowered by the skull of gul'dan, while the lich king's powers, and my extention Arthas's, were rapidly faltering.
I think even the blizzard writers outright said Illidan should have realistically won, but arthas won through sheer happenstance/illidan making a stupid mistake
>>714719628The Arthas/K-Dizzy bromance has always been the greatest love story Blizzard ever told.
>>714714245let's chat on battle.net sometime
>>714721402>illidan making a stupid mistakeThat's kind of his whole shtick. He's great at fighting, but has terrible judgement. The first thing he does after getting out is eat the skull of Gul'Dan and become a half-demon in order to fight the Burning Legion. Then he becomes a subordinate of the Burning Legion under Kil'Jaeden the next campaign, uses the Eye of Sargeras, and becomes a Demon Lord on Draenor. He only got to Icecrown because he allied with Kael'Thas and Vashj.
He's not even that great a warrior, considering he got captured by Maiev, whose only power is her immense autism, after he ate the skull.
>>714722015>VashjWhat the FUCK was her problem? Do we ever understand her motivation? Why was she draining a lake in TBC?
>>714722657thirsty
both for filthy Zangarmarsh water and for Illidans throbbing felcock
>>714683076Samurai were savages, even if they had a code.
Knights too.
>>714720059Basically. Christie Golden wrote Anub'arak to be an involuntary slave and this close to betraying Arthas, so Wrath ran with it and everyone fucking hated it. He was also killed in a five man dungeon, which people hated, but they bring him back in a raid somehow where he's more powerful and he seems loyal to the Lich King. This is even before the writers forgot he was the King that betrayed the Nerubians in exchange for power.
Anub'arak is a bro to Arthas and I won't stand for any slander.

Did The Frozen Throne plagiarize the Arthas/Uther plot from Star Wars?
It's weird because TFT came out a year after Attack of the Clones before Anakin went fully corrupt and two years before Revenge of the Sith when we saw it play out like Arthas/Uther.
