Yes, he is a traitor, but he was easy to sympathize with in Warcraft 3. Blizzard pretty much turned him into a cartoon villain in Burning Crusade. Many Horde players still remember Garrosh as the honorable warchief during Cataclysm, and not the ruthless dictator during MoP. It's the same with Kael'thas for me, but my true loyalty lies with my regent Lor'themar and my mentor Liadrin.
I’ll never forgive Blizzard for ruining Kael’s lore. He needed to be a part of WotLK. He cared so much for his people , only to betray them so off handedly.
@@nerdbrain396 You know for some reason as someone who has kept up with WoW lore I feel like I can't stand it anymore when it comes to Shadowlands. It's weird I can't point at anything and say "that's what made me turn off." I think it was just a very slow progress of poorly written story after poorly written story. For instance, I can tell when those in charge of WoW lore are leaving loose ends to make it seem like they are going to lead something in the future when really they have no idea what they are doing and they are leaving a loose end to figure it out later, maybe, if they feel like it or run out of ideas (again). Now it just feels like they are pulling stuff out of their asses constantly. Probably the greatest offense is Maldraxxus. What even is that? Scourge 2.0? They completely ignore the War of the Spider where the Necropolis architecture comes from. What even is Kel'Thuzad doing there? As for Kael's redemption arc it didn't solve the problem of him betraying his people to begin with. Also while Kael was never so arrogant and "look how powerful I am." Kael was always looking for ways to help his people, he sided with humans, naga, night elves, and Illidan all for the sake of his people. Now this could be because of the Fel energy but shouldn't that have been cleansed by his death? For him to go prancing around constantly saying "Look at me and how strong I am" feels like the writers where trying to fit him into Revendreth theme rather them staying true to his original character. This seems like a continuation of BC Kael rather than a return to WCIII Kael. I really don't see a solution to fixing Kael, outside of some really compelling scenarios that I know the lore writers are too lazy/uninterested to do. Even if they resurrected him and returned to his rightful place as a racial leader that would feel like a cop out. He would need some really compelling dialogue with Lor'Themar who has NEVER been able to fill in Kael's shoes despite him having a decent amount of attention given to him. TL;DR- No, and I'm rapidly loosing interest in WoW lore in general because how how lazy the writing is, and how it constantly recons and ignores its own lore.
Oh make him young-looking and handsome for once :( Even Christie Golden said he was "handsome and almost impossibly physically perfect." Also, are we just not gonna talk about his hip-thrusty dance at the end?
it would be cool if when he died he dropped all the legendary weapons you had to use against him in the raid. It really wouldn't be anything huge but it would be a fun touch.
Pyroblast seems like an amazing initiate, and Phoenix seems a little weak, but if only Verdent Spheres affected Heroic Abilities, Kael would be absurd.
I think you should add in Gelbin Mekkatorque. He can build auto-sentries on the walls, make cool machinery, and maybe even chuck wrenches or some tinkering tool at his opponents!
Pyroblast is locked to its target and in "almost all cases" the damage cannot be avoided. There are 81 heroes, let's see Easy to avoid without any ult/talent (10): Dehaka, Fenix, Genji, Maiev, Medivh, Murky, Nova, Samuro, Tassadar, Tracer Hard to avoid but possible without ult/talent (13): Brightwing, D.Va, Falstad, Greymane, Hanzo, Leoric, Li-Ming, Malthael, Muradin, Sylvanas, Valla, Yrel, Zeratul Easy to avoid with ult (17): Abathur, Alarak, Alexstrasza, Auriel, Blaze, E.T.C., Illidan, Johanna, Junkrat, Kharazim, Lt. Morales, Tyrael, Tyrande, Uther, Valeera, Varian, Zul'jin Hard to avoid but possible with ult (4): Chen, Lunara, Sonya, The Lost Vikings Easy to avoid with talent (8) Cho, Chromie, Gall, Jaina, Malfurion, Nazeebo, Ragnaros, Rexxar Hard to avoid but possible with talent (7): Azmodan, Butcher, Diablo, Gul'dan, Kerrigan, Thrall, Zagara Note: Heroes like Muradin or Lucio who increase their heal still consider a hit. There are 59 heroes who can avoid Pyroblast, that's 72% of the heroes has a way to avoid the damage. It's probably not almost all cases.
With the game launching in a few weeks it would be great if you did a spotlight video for each hero. I've been playing in the beta and figuring out things as I go, it would have saved a lot of time to have a video like this to give me an idea how to play each hero.
+Darkness Incarnate BRO BACK IN DOTA 1 THEY NAMED HIM INVOKER BUT BLIZZARD SHUT DOWN DOTA 1 NOW YOU HAVE DOTA 2 SO INVOKER MOVED ON BUT NOW HES BACK IN HEREOS OF THE STORM SO BLIZZARD MADE INVOKER STEAM TOKE HIM FOR MONEY DO GOOGLE HIM BRO
Love the character, but his spell effects don't seem impactful, doesn't look powerful. Look at brand from League, he has some similar spells and his animations are wonderful in comparison. Look at invoker and see his tornado spell effects in comparison to this.
Dominic Waters I'm usualy top DPS in my team. But he only shines in late game. Work your talents with Living Bomb ability and you will see the damage :P
Please do more Spotlights, I loved watching the spotlights in LoL and I would love to see spotlights for my favorite characters from the Blizzard Universe
Wow wow calm down, he's not going to a fandom clash. He's just making a comparison, and Kealthas is way easier to comprehend than Invoker; I don't think many would disagree
while playing as human, Kael'thas was my first hero choice, if u don't master your anger, ur anger will master u ... Kael'thas vs invoker.... well without a doubt Invoker will win. Invoker has much cooler abilities...
I know it's a bit to late for the spotlight, but the pop time of Flamestrike would be a nice thing for the tooltips. I've noticed while in try, that flamestrike seems to have about a 1.5 second pop so combo's like E>Q are not as effective as they seem, but instead dropping your Q to zone enemies for a E>D>W>W that might even be standing on your flamestrike can be a killer.
Dear God; these Dotard 2 players -__- These guys don't realize that Invoker is basically a rip-off of Kael. Well, to be exact, every hero in Dotard 2 is a rip-off of Blizzard characters.
SENOR spoder Then it means Valve has no originality. Even the entire game is completely unoriginal. They can't make a MOBA on their own. They'd rather steal from another company to get profit. I bet Valve is trying to rip-off Nintendo right now. Just wait: they'll create a pair of Italian Plumbers, and their retarded community will spew out "OMG Maroi and Lugi ar not ripoffs of Mario and Luigi! You all haterzzz!!!!111!!1"
Vito Gaylord Yes, I know DotA is a mod of Warcraft 3. And Dotard 2 is a rip-off of DotA, because it's stil the same as the mod. Proves Valve couldn't create something original. Riot and Blizzard made their own MOBAs out from their brains...Valve used a Xerox machine to create theirs.
They could've easily made this guy a Support-style champion since Kael'thas was extremely skilled in Enchantment and Abjuration, according to WoW lore.
you should also include varian wyrnn as the next hero in hero of the storm and make his heroic call of the alliance which he could use to summon 3 other alliance leaders
Well the hero who was awaited by most of the warcraft fans honestly I have time and I ask the warcraft fans to give time to the HotS team because every hero this far was fun to fight with. Keep it up guys my friends and a lot of fan counting on you
Syrinjury I'm a Sylvanas player and I love the master skin, and as much as i dislike Thrall, his master is awesome, but i gotta give the best master skin award to Stitches, seeing that zombie abomination wearing a crown is just beautiful
Did anyone else come here to figure out how to pronounce "Kael'thas?" He's one of my favourite heroes to play, but I couldn't decide how to say it, and I also learned some new things about his abilities.
Zerathul, Nova and so many more will counter Kael'thas beyond belief. They can easily roam to him unless it's a duo lane, because his hp is gonna be lower than everyone else's (except our lord and saviour murky). There's also things that can escape his stun by using a counter ability beforehand like Tyrael's El'druin's might (Q), but he is really strong. I believe he could become one of the best damaging heroes in the game if played to a certain extent with great coordinated teammates.
Pyroblast has got to be the most ridiculous and hilarious spell in this whole game. I love watching people try to run from it as if that's going to work. You're dead man and nothing's gonna save you.
