Regarding W3 and WoW, I agree with Plesen.
Especially, I'm saddened by the orcs, who have transformed from proud warriors into hunched-over former slaves. Yes, they are former slaves, but they are former slaves, and now they are proud warriors. So why are they hunched over like I don't know who? Even Garrosh, who lived freely in Draenor, and his tribesmen are bent over in three places.
The trolls, suddenly, all began to move like a single troll spirit walker from W3, standing in a squat on all fours and twitching like worms. In Warcraft, the trolls stood normally on two legs, but here they are only mobs.
The undead, of course, were drawn to look more undead-like, but I prefer the classic designs, and the tongue sticking out of their mouths is not amusing. However, this is purely my opinion regarding the undead.
The blood elves have become… well, blood elves. Nothing more to say.
The goblins, from thin, long-nosed, and floppy-eared pranksters, have turned into equally long-nosed, floppy-eared, pot-bellied creatures and now resemble green hobbits. I won't even mention that their mechanical development in Cataclysm went beyond all reasonable limits.
As for the humans, I'll say this: no matter what you do with a man, you'll end up with a paladin. Women are still okay.
The Draenei space marines are also not great. Yes, something new was needed. But it would have been possible to come up with another race in the same setting. WHY do we need to see Draenei mark II and be told that the Eredar, a proud and small tribe of powerful demons, are also Draenei, only mkIII? It's a shoddy job.
Against this background, the worgen really stand out as something fresh and completely new.
The bear-cats have turned from muscular chimeras into funny, pot-bellied creatures.
I could go on for a long time, but why bother? Notice that I only talked about the appearance, and I didn't write about the degradation of the world.
So, it turns out that they seem to have kept the style, but either different artists were drawing, or something else. I can't understand it, but they managed to spoil the world quite a bit. If in Warcraft, in addition to the funny appearance, there was a clear feeling that this unit is a powerful warrior and can stand up for itself, then in WoW, only the funny appearance remains. I don't like this.
