I DON'T EVEN REALLY FUCKING GET IT.

I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A HOT OR NOT DEBATE.

THESE ARE JUST WOMEN. WHY ARE YOU SO WEIRD?

Please support me by talking to the dev team and telling them to give me back proper slappyhands Abomination Limb. Thank you in advance. 🌞

You're way, ways ahead of me! I'm still trying to figure out how to get away with playing an Orc and living in an Undead Frankenstein house... 😅

It's so hard to see a charitable explanation for all this and the decor portraits being solely Alliance nonsense is really the punctuation on the whole thing.

I try my best to be very positive and supportive of Blizz's hard work but how do you realistically reconcile any of this with that, yknow?

Then the few brief seconds of Horde screentime we do get are confusing, half-hearted, borderline nonsensical.

Baine's lifelong centaur problem is over & done after 5mins in DF.

Gallywix confronted? Brush past it, offer no closure, use zero pre-existing threads (cannon in Azshara, Gallywix mtn).

They've seemingly gone well out of their way to use Alliance points of view and Alliance characters when Horde characters are Right There and make more sense.

Primalist shaman cult? Keep Thrall and the Earthen Ring far from here.

Undermine? Let's dig up the only Alliance Goblin.

It seriously feels crazy to watch this happen nonstop for like a decade now.

There's no way Blizzard aren't aware their last ten years of development has been overwhelmingly and exhaustingly the Nonstop Alliance Spotlight and that Horde players have been politely expressing discontent for ages.

Not a single Blood Elf character portrait listed for an expansion set in THEIR homeland.

Miss me w/ that "this doesn't mean anything" shit. That's literally the bare minimum!! 'Advertise a BLOOD ELF in the definitive BLOOD ELF expansion', is not an unreasonable expectation.

There have always been buffs & nerfs that I grin & bear either way because, hey, that's the game.

This is the first one I am genuinely stunned by. It makes zero sense. It's not an intelligent or fair change consistent with the logic of the game or your professed goal @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com

Demon Hunters have a truly insane amount of AOE utility but for some reason that isn't their raid buff? Paladins can BOP and BOS and LoH in raid but somehow also get a real raid buff?

Like, how did you confuse a movement-equivalent spell for a raid buff @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com?

We also already have incredibly low utility in keys, where Abom Limb/Grasp are most valuable - despite being the tank originally designed around having the deepest toolbox.

Paladin can throw a shield and silence a group of casters but a mass grip we barely control is a step too far for us?

Abom Limb (and grip in general) is NOT a raid buff. Our Grips are a movement-equivalent utility spell! We are slow as hell. We bring mobs to us to make up for this. You cannot look us in the eye and call it a raid buff any more than Warrior Charge is a raid buff. That argument makes no sense.

It is fundamentally a weird change that feels as though the class dev team doesn't... Quite... Get it? Which is wild to say - I think yall do a pretty good job most of the time; I know it's impossible to please everyone while being balanced and fair. But this change makes no sense.

The Abom Limb change is really, really weird. I say this as a ~20yr player who has enjoyed the game through all of its iterations. I try to always hold something of a positive outlook on the game and still, this change is one of the weirdest you guys have ever done @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com

This has to be correct yeah
