An Update on the Battle for Alterac Valley
We’ve received an update from the front after the first skirmishes in Alterac Valley, based on information through December 14! The Battle for Alterac Valley has been fierce and hotly contested. Both sides have fought with Honor, with each faction already amassing over one billion Honor! The Alliance has taken an early lead in the contest. They have rallied together for an advantage in overall numbers, and together they are strong! Will the steadfast Alliance be able to defend their foothold, or will the Horde rally to take back the valley?! It is up to you, brave adventurers, to shape the course of this battle.
Don’t forget that the Battle for Alterac Valley continues during Winter Veil! While the Winter Veil festivities end on January 19, counting for the Battle for Alterac Valley ends a little earlier, on January 11. Learn more about how to play games to earn Honor for your faction so that you may claim the ultimate prize of your faction’s leader as a Diamond card!
This Thrall skin is even more creepy (and ugly) than the tree skin from druid.
I will put it in third place.
1) Pedo Tree
2) Kid unmasked Edwin
3) Weirdo Thrall
The creepy grin is a huge turn off.
That's just Resting Orc Face.
Blizz: "We made the nerfs, now we want the money, here some shitty cosmetic to purchase guys".
Shaman hero casting a Mage spell in his portrait? Good work, Blizz.
He obviously plays yogg
I honestly think it was a Shaman card at first and they changed it late in the dev cycle, but no one told the art team.
I like to believe that there is more than one way to magically craft a snowman - just a coincidence mage literally got a spell this set that does exactly that.
Or the portrait was designed before the change
It's because Shaman has better Freeze decks than Mage now
