Top 5 most cringe WoW characters

[Nerovar]

It's impossible to only pick 5. Don't make me choose.

[AcidicSyn]

Are sylvanas fanboys characters?

Yes. Nathanos is a character.

[Kyphael]

I believe it is spelt "Bob Salami". Regarding nathanos i disagree. He has done literally nothing of note and yet he belittles us the Titan and God slayers. The only thing he has in his achievement list is that hes an above average archer and died to a leveling character back in vanilla.

True, but fiction and fantasy are full of characters who hadn't done anything but act like their shit don't stink and talk down to heroes. Nathanos just reminds me of Wormtongue from The Lord of the Rings. He's the character you love to hate, well, would be if not for the Dausner self-insert part.

On point about Nathanos. It's specifically his relationship to Sylvanas and what we know about his origin (danuser) that makes him cringe. I miss the crusty old asshole that threatened to feed me to his dogs at Marris' Stead if I didn't follow orders.

(But then again I also miss vengeful Sylvanas existing purely to kill Arthas.)

Me too. When Wrath ended, I got on my soapbox and pretty much said The Forsaken storyline was over, as that was an ideal end to it. Sylvanas and The Forsaken worked best when they existed solely for vengeance, their existence is otherwise unnatural, and as Sylvanas just showed in her characterization since... bad.

Yes. Nathanos is a character.

That's a good zinger. lol

I would say just about everyone in the main cast. BfA made just about everyone shit. The only characters i liked from BfA was Gallywix and Bwonsamdi. It's to bad they got rid of Gallywix and i would bet money Bwonsamdi will be a boss or get "killed" at some point.

Doubt he'll be a boss but he might not only get killed; but killed "off screen" in the new xpac prequel novel. Though being a loa of death, the "Other Side" dungeon might be about restoring him?

[Dakhath]

It's 2020 and people still think it was Malfurion, and not Xavius, yelling all those cringe things during that quest. What a time to be alive.

[TickTickTick]

Everyone recognizes this. Doesn't matter that such scene happened in game anyway and no amount of "it wasnt Malfurion" will purge it away. And Tyrande was herself, too.

[Dellis0991]

1. Sylvanas
2. Nathanos
3. Turalyon (they ruined you my boy)
4. Liadrin
5. Y'rel

[Jastall]

Hard to narrow it down to 5, honestly.

1. Sylvanas
2. Nathanos
3. Aggra
4. Tyrande. Malfurion's alright.
5. Illidan when he drops his one-liners and finely prepared memes. It's a better kind of cringe than the others above, but still.

[meheez]

anything post wotlk is pretty cringe tbh

but bfa is next lvl

"FOR THE LIGHT" ewwwwww

[Cherry123]

1. Anduin classic
2. Anduin cata
3. Anduin mop
4. Anduin legion
5. Anduin BFA

[McNeil]

1. Sylvanas
2. Nathanos
3. Alleria
4. Tyrande
5. Magni
Sorry I have to cheat with adding a 6th: Illidan

Also most pandaren. They worked well as an easter egg in WC3, in WoW they mostly felt out of place and didn't fit with WoW's theme.

[Combatbutler]

In no particular order

Sylvanas
Khadgar
Malfurion
Magni
Saurfang

[Morae]

Not in order.

Sylvanas
Nathanos
Yrel (I'm waiting for that expansion with the light crazy crusade, ect. so I can get to kill yrel.)
Tyrande (in legion. Where art thou my luv!)
Malfurion (in legion. I'm here my luv! helep meh! tehy r ganking mehh!)

[Khaza-R]

1. Illidan
2. Sylvanas
3. Grom
4. Med’an
5. Anduin

I wouldn’t really consider Med’an a WoW character. Although he and Rhonin are the biggest cringe characters in overall Warcraft lore for me

My list

1. Yrel
2. Cataclysm Thrall aka Go’el
3. Aggra
4. Taran Zhu
5. Baine

Bonus round - Calia is turning out to be pretty cringe .

[TheFirstOnes]

"Illidan" BEGONE FROM MY SIGHT!

But seriously though:

1. Sylvanas.

2. Tyrande.

3. Nathanos.

4. Baine.

And 5. Magni during BFA.

Anduin at least got better! Much better!

- - - Updated - - -

1. Anduin classic
2. Anduin cata
3. Anduin mop
4. Anduin legion
5. Anduin BFA

Anduin isn't even that bad. Chill.

[MakeMeLaugh]

Malfurion and Tyrande during the val'sharah quest where Malfurion is taken. Probably the most cringe thing ever placed in this game.

What did you do? Omg, now it's back to haunt me...

How did that ever got approved is beyond me...

[LemonDemonGirl]

1.Sylvanas
2.Nathanos (if you'd count him as a character)
3.Talanji, because RIP Rastakhan
4.Magni 'Woooons' Bronzebeard
5.Baine

Doubt he'll be a boss but he might not only get killed; but killed "off screen" in the new xpac prequel novel. Though being a loa of death, the "Other Side" dungeon might be about restoring him?

The dungeon is supposedly 'featuring' him, soo I'm guessing he lives? Also there was an interview of sorts on here that mentioned
a troll death deity and his afterlife 'process'
