Battle of the Badasses (The Final Match): Medivh vs. Thrall

[Skandulous]

Medivh got stabbed in the heart and his head cut off by senior citizens lol

[Venziir]

People are voting Medivh only because Sargeras has possesed him >.>


Medivh was killed by 2 alliance warriors , great knowledge about lore bro

..... No, Medivh was killed by Khadgar, a wizard whom Medivh had just cursed. Khadgar used the sword of Lothar to impale him while Garona was keeping him occupied. So thats 1 mage, 1 knight and 1 half-orc-half-draenei rogue that killed him.... And oh, the Alliance DIDN'T even exist at that point... so huge fail on you.

[Grimsdott]

My pick for a winner was Grom but from those 2 I'm sticking with Thrall cause holding the Maelstrom so it doesn't make the world implode is 9999x more awesome than anything Medivh ever did (he did nothing exceptional tbh, save for opening dark portal).

[fuknfreak]

Thrall has more fanbois, but Medivh wins

[ItachiZaku]

Medivh one shots lvl 70 elite dragons (see nightbane), opens dark portals, rocks the presence of sargeras inside him without exploding into a gajillion pieces.


he's kind of a big deal.


Thrall is a 40-man lvl 70 raid tank & spank

I dunno, Medi goes down pretty quick to some whelps. It's fun to just watch sometimes.

[artemisthemp]

Dont forget that Medivh was the only mortal, that Deathwing actual feared.

[private420]

sorry thrall ya ditch us for a ring of dirt so gonna have to go with super mage and his crazy castle

[Lazertrooper]

Medivh shows up as a bird in thrall's dream and thrall gets wimped out. Thrall can't even decipher Medivh's identity. Medivh wins obviously.

[TJ]

If Lothar and Co had succeeded in ending Medivh then why is he in WCIII? That point is totally invalid.

Medivh is a mortal, and therefore still may be included in this bracket as far as i am concerned. He is the most powerful mortal on azeroth, I dont care what wowwiki says about malfurion.

Because Blizzard knows nothing about lore and consult you every time before making a decision.

[bas]

Medivh will win this; Thrall is powerfull but not even close to Medivh

still don't get how the only person that could have beaten Medivh lost to Grom (talking about the Lich King here)

[Coffer]

Funny how Thrall is now actually starting to catch up.

still don't get how the only person that could have beaten Medivh lost to Grom (talking about the Lich King here)

That was Arthas, the Death Knight. The Lich King's greatest champion and all that. Not the Lich King himself.

The problem with him, at that time, was that he wasn't a 'splendid' solo fighter like Grom. Sure, he was a decent, if not great, tactician and leader, but we're talking about a one-on-one duel to the death. No armies, no military tactics, no leading masses of undead into battle. Grom would've slowly, but steadily, beaten him.

[Kazlofski]

Barely heard of that Medivh but isn't he dead? I wonder why also, while Thrall still lives :P

[pickley]

Medivhs dead. I think Thrall can take a corpse.

Medivhs alive, he came back from the dead.

[Fenaris]

the most powerful shaman ever holding the world together (along with 3 other shamans, but hey who cares?) vs a mage that used to have a huge ass demon inside of him, but is now only a mage who can shapeshift into a bird, yeah you know what I voted for

[Alex86el]

thrall of course. one of the few horde characters that i like and is not a tauren.

I lol'd

Sad but true.

Edit: Actually maybe not... probably wouldn't be that much of a corpse left.

[Izenhart]

Medivh's been clearly over-hyped by his role in WCIII.

I mean, ask someone "Hey, do you know who Medivh is?" the first answer you'll hear is "Oh yea! The Dark Portal/crow guy!".

All he did was opening the Dark Portal with the help of the evul Guldan's buddies, killing Arcanagos/Nightbane, and then helping Humans and Orcs during the whole WCIII campaign. He did also lose against Khagdar+Lothar (and maybe others, unknown) before getting resurrected.

Hard to state he was anything exceptional, but considering this topic is about he against Thrall and not about why he's not that good, I think he could easily overpower Thrall nonetheless.

What else is he supposed to loot then?

Oh yeah, and defeated Aegwynn, a powerful mage who had millenia of practice (and was his mom). And hunted down demons pretty much every day for a living (which happens throughout The Last Guardian).

Also, the Portal had to be opened with the same amount of power being channeled from both sides. And on Draenor, that was the whole of the Shadow Council. On Azeroth, it was just Medivh.

I don't quite think the stuff you said was 'all he did'. But hey, I'm not the Lore-Police. *Shrug*

A quarter of a pile of ashes?
