I agree.
Obviously Undead are in wc3 because they are cool. It's not about making sense in the realistic way, it's about sticking to character. It's about presenting cool stuff. Obviously a DH has Warglaives because those are cool, and you can add a cool animation to it. But what's not pretty (for me) is telling me, that Illidan who proved strong, maybe misguided, but strong still, is falling apart from a mere defeat.
That's not a strong character, that character is not worthy of my respect and sympathy. So when I engaged Illidan, it was more of a "let's get this over with, he is a retard anyway". When I engaged Kil'jaden... he was still the same in my eyes. It was like "fuck yeah it's KJ, this character is so cool". When I fought Illidan I expected Mana Burn, Immolation, Evasion & Metamorphosis. He had none of those except the Metamorphosis. He didn't feel as Illidan. Arthas, or Lich King, didn't feel either.
It's not about realism, it's about making things feel good. I loved Illidan in wc3. I felt like he always tried to do the good deed, he just never knew how to go about it into the right way, he tried to take shortcuts. I loved that. But Illidan in WoW isn't the same Illidan from Wc3, he isn't better or worse, he is completely different. And that completely different Illidan is an idiot, and I can't symphatize with an idiot character.
if we played the WoW storyline on an rts style it would be 10x times cooler. But ffs they should change some stuff, like arthtas gets killed by a bunch of random warriors, Illidan gets killed by random warriors, Kel'thuzad gets killed by random warriors, just wtf where is all the epic battes warcraft used to make?
