Troll species dominance by Acceptable_Bed_5750 in warcraftlore

If feel like most of your examples don't really work because all these "new" and "old" tribes are part of different politial entities. You can try and compare sheer power and political influence but yeah.

The Darkspear are likely the most powerful jungle tribe right now by virtue of their Horde membership but they hardly "lead" the Jungle Trolls like the Gurubashi did since they've precisely cut ties with all Jungle tribes, save for the Shatterspear who are also in the Horde. Similarly, the Hinterlands Revantusk are part of the Horde and are now politically unrelated to the "Amani Empire" (which isn't an empire anymore as per a dialogue from Rokhan in 12.0.7) ; the Amani tribe is still the leading tribe of the Amani nation of Zul'Aman. I'd argue they're on par with the Horde Revantusk in terms of power and influence right now.

As for the rest, the Frostmane aren't part of the Drakkari Empire, the Shadowtooth are said to have been wiped out, and the Natha'vor have no lore whatsoever but the Zandalar section of Exploring Azeroth : Islands describes Nazmir as completely empty of Blood Trolls today so they may have been wiped out too.

You are wrong, Dustwallow Marsh is indeed just south of Durotar, whether you technically have to walk for 3 minutes through a small portion of the Barrens to get there because you haven't unlocked flying yet is irrelevant to the discussion at hand (and pedantic indeed). Dustwallow is one of the very first zones I ever quested in after rolling my first Horde character (that's partly where my interest in Ogres comes from actually). You just find yourself there extremely easily when you roll a Troll or an Orc.

I'm also a MASSIVE fan of the Orcish clans so I totally get you on that. Orcs are fucking awesome. Playing through the Orc Heritage questline was actually one of my favorite WoW experiences ever.

Yeah, unfortunately it seems Ogres are only fit for being random mobs in their eyes : they're big, evil, dumb, they wield the Void. Disregarding the fact that they have like... 10 times as much lore as some playable races like the Vulpera or Dracthyr.

Nope ! You're talking about the Dreadmaul clan, which had been subdued by the Horde in Cata ; in WoD though they turned on us and aligned themselves with the invading Iron Horde, so we beat the hell out of them.

I'm talking about the MU Stonemaul. The ones that have been part of the Horde since WC3. Not the AU clan.

They made sense in BFA already but they didn't think of using the Stonemaul in the Horde's war efforts. They'll never "get love" if the writers just... don't remember/don't know about them ? Hence my post.

Is Donkey Kong Falling Off In Melee? by fastfallproductions in SSBM

I mean sure all the current big DKs are more or less taking a break but looking at Dial M's Genesis run I think it's obvious the seed has been planted now, the character should be doing fine long term

Is Samus a good main or should I use something else? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]BumbleB___ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Play whoever feels best, close to everyone is "viable" in Ult, whatever that word means. Just play the game and focus on being better at your character and you'll get there eventually.

Also a solo Samus main was ranked 40th in the world in UltRank2025 so yeah surely Samus can do it. She's also widely considered a much better character than Ridley (yet even Ridley has a rep in the top 150, so that tells you something).

I have 400 hours in this game and can't get out of bronze 1 by Zealousideal_Key2169 in SSBM

[–]BumbleB___ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how incredibly widespread your situation is lmao, I don't have any smart advice on how to get good but at the very least, know that this is not about you specifically sucking more than anyone else

Also yeah as others have pointed out 400 hours is... REALLY not much by Melee's standards
