By the way, the legendary orcish weapon is a hammer.
Here, it's more about the owner than the weapon itself. The hammer itself is quite mediocre, with no special properties, compared to Ashbringer and Frostmourne, and even Sulfuras and Thunderfury will be better. Or are we talking about different hammers? I'm talking about Ogrim Doomhammer and, well, Doomhammer itself.

Although, considering the Blood Elves, it's not surprising.
That's another reason why I don't like WoW. One paladin sinned and was expelled from the order, and he ceased to be a paladin, but these guys, as a group, commit complete heresy, and yet they remain paladins. And they even added Blood Knights to the paladins :\

About him personally. But yes, his armor is cooler.

One paladin erred – he was expelled from the order, he ceased to be a paladin, yet this entire group suffers from complete heresy – and they still remain paladins.
As was said, it depends on their own faith. Tirion (since we're talking about him?) was expelled, and he decided that he was no longer worthy to be a servant of the Light. But the brave Scarlet Crusade, the hope of humanity, a beacon of light in this heretical world yes, I know that their remnants were mercilessly defeated, were absolutely convinced of their own righteousness and therefore could use the Light however they wanted and for whatever purpose.
And the Blood Knights of the blood elves were also listed as paladins:

Well, they're cheaters anyway; they initially abused naaru, and now they've had Sunwell repaired for free, so they run around, pollute the air, and rejoice. It's not for nothing that they have earned offensive nicknames.

Tyrion was exiled, but not everyone agreed with the exile. He returned in the battle for the Silver Dawn Chapel as a paladin, and he didn't lose any strength along the way; even Alexandros Mograine supported him. No, I'm talking about Arthas. When he massacred Stratholme, he was recognized as a traitor and should have been put on trial, not to mention being stripped of his paladin status, if they could have brought him back from Northrend in time (I can't remember exactly where I read that now, it was in a comic book about six months ago). So, nominally, he is still called a paladin at the end of Varimathras's campaign, but he is "exiled" from the order. And yet, the situation was, at the very least, debatable, if not to say that Uther completely messed up.

When he slaughtered Stratholme, he was posthumously declared a traitor and should have been put on trial, not to mention being stripped of his paladin status, if they could have brought him back from Northrend in time (I can't remember exactly where I read that now, it was in the comics about six months ago), so nominally, at the end of Varok's campaign, he is still called a paladin, but he is "exiled" from the order. But the situation was, at the very least, debatable, if not to say that Uther completely messed up.
A PALADIN IS BETTER OFF DYING WITH A WEAPON IN HIS HAND AT THE HANDS OF A ZOMBIE and at the same time, he will destroy everyone else who was counting on him THAN KILLING AN INNOCENT PERSON
And the Scarlet Crusade is not considered paladins anyway; if in the classic game some of them were still our allies, now they are all declared "evil" and are to be mercilessly exterminated. And to rid us of any hesitation, everywhere except their Monastery, they have turned into undead.

Yes, the simplistic portrayal of a paladin is exactly like that. But wouldn't it be more merciful to kill the unfortunate creature, thus preventing it from becoming a living corpse? In many universes (including Warhammer), the soul bound to a zombie suffers. Wouldn't it be better to end the suffering of both body and soul with a merciful strike?

Yes, this trend applies to them as well, which is disappointing. Illidan was also made "aggressive," or the questline forces you to kill Edwin, even though Stormwind itself attacked him.

Yes, that's a dumb portrayal of a paladin.
Well, in WoW, you can count the reasonable paladins on your fingers. Moreover, most of them are either dead or have become (or rather, he has become) a new Lich King.

Yes, playing a paladin in that way is indeed foolish. But wouldn't it be more merciful to kill the unfortunate creature, thus preventing it from becoming a living corpse? In many universes (and in Warcraft as well), a soul bound to a zombie suffers. So wouldn't it be better to end the suffering of both body and soul with a merciful strike?
But he is still a human! He is not suffering yet! We must find another way.

One-handed weapons. Because I can't handle a two-handed weapon, and a long polearm is only useful in a brawl. And I prefer duels.
Although there is an option - a one-and-a-half-hand sword, but it is also not small.
There is also an option for ranged weapons - a bow and a light crossbow.

Well, in WoW, you can count the reasonable paladins on the fingers of one hand. Moreover, most of them are either dead or have become (or rather, he has become) the new leader.
Unfortunately, this is not only the case in WoW, but in most worlds in general.

Sure, sure. Indeed, the paladins found a way to fight the Scourge and even defeated the Lich King. This happened when Lordaeron had already been destroyed, and the war with the Scourge had engulfed all of Azeroth. Keep looking for a way. But the fact is that people with incurable diseases are put to sleep so that they do not suffer, and not to look for "another" way.

A polearm is useful not only in a brawl, but also in any battle; it all depends on the desire and skill. People also went into duels with light spears and shields. But a long polearm is only useful in large-scale battles, and preferably against cavalry.

So that they would understand that "things would be even worse without him." Luckily, Terenas managed to reason with them.

There are many useful things in bugurt.
Bugurt is not kosher.
Polearms are useful not only in bugurt, but also in any battle; it's a matter of desire and skill.
I'm probably out of touch, but I only know of polearms like spears of hoplites, medieval infantry pikes, etc. Are there any other types?

I just remembered. The pilum, for example. It can be used effectively in combat. Or the glaive. Yes...

Wield a pilum in combat? How do you imagine that would work?

What, did I miss?
To fence, using the same techniques as with a sword, but inflicting only piercing blows. The length allows for it.
