We're going to revert the change from Patch 7.2 in an upcoming PTR build, and look into other potential tuning options for the future. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

From now on the Monk mount is the worst mount being added in 7.2
Arguments:
1) only 1 color (seriously wtf?!)
2) no wings nor transformations between flying/ground nor between specs
3) mount talks like my Monk trainer on the isle
In what world is a talking mount considered better/more impactful than a mount that fits to your spec with another look (colour)???

I am very disappointed in you Blizz
#blizzardhatesmonks
A winged tiger? Whatever. I like the way it just flies without wings. It's kind of cool and unexpected. Drop the BlizzardHatesMonks bullcrap. We, as a class, are in a very good spot right now and have had a lot of love so far in Legion. Besides, Paladins just get a horse. Another horse.
I'd rather have a mount on my monk, not a mount that can talk to me. I'd rather have 3 recolors (one for each spec) than a talking mount. Why couldn't they have done a black and blue lightning tiger for brewmaster, leave the current one for windwalker, and then do a white and black one (or black with white lightning) for mistweaver? The talking mount is going to get old VERY fast. I can see people quickly looking for mods to either shut it up or replace the sounds with something more akin of other tiger mounts.
I'm shocked no one is bringing up the goblin vs worgen mount debate. Goblins got new mounts when they got added in Cata but Blizzard refused to add new mounts to the worgens because they had running wild. After months of complaints, Blizzard gave worgens two crappy horses that don't even have tack on them. They're just mobs enabled to be ridden (something Blizzard's repeated such as with the Eclipse dragonhawk). So when are people going to start complaining that monks get 1 color while other classes get 3-4? Demon hunters are in the same boat with 1 color of their mount.
Suppose it begs the question if the individual colors count toward the mount achievement. I.E. I have a paladin. Do all 4 colors count toward the mount achievement or just 1?
Additionally, do all of the class mounts count or only one? Like if I were to get the mount on my shaman, would that increase my mount achievement count by 1? Then if I got the druid one, would that further increase the count by 1 (thus +2 for the two class mounts) or would it be like the current warlock and paladin (and technically DK and DH) where the two are mutually exclusive with each other and you only get 1 regardless of what class you're on. I.E. I get the paladin mount which increases my mount count by one. I then later get the monk one but since I already have the paladin mount, my count doesn't increase.
If the individual colors count as separate mounts, then I can see players pitching a fit over the classes who get 1 color (like monk and DHs) versus those that get 4 (rogue, druid, paladin). If you only get 1 regardless of how many colors and class mounts you have, that'd really suck, too. Makes the work for every other class mount and color not as fun.
StarCrafts - The Magic Box - Every Terran Vs Zerg I've Ever Played Edition. Down to building Thors to counter Mutalisks, and failing.
I remember when Blizzard nerfed Thor armor because the proxy Thor rush was a strategy that was too effective in TvT. Mech never truly recovered from that, so Terran has been all about Marine+Marauder+Medivac spam ever since.
Depending how they implement the talking of the mount it can work or be rather annoying. If it works anything like the arcane, demo and Spriest weapons I think it will be rather kool and unique and fits the theme of the mount being a panda. But if he just rambles on all the time then yer thats going to get annoying fast.
I can't believe there are two pages of discussions on the Class mounts, when legendairy item balance is still completely out of whack.
At least Holinka will have to answer for the state of Legion PvP in just under two days. I have a special brand of caramel popcorn ready for the occasion.
