    One of the better expansions for World of Warcraft, has a fairly strong story for once. The whole MMO could have ended on a good note here.

    The Best WOW expansion and the time to play. Main Storyline of all Warcraft.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    - This was a return to the peak of Class Identity, with your own order hall, class campaign and even a mount!
    - Unlike popular opinion, I actually felt that artefact weapons were one of the best systems in modern WoW
    - Successfully ended / put on hold the majority of interesting story arcs, Illidan Sargeras, Kil'Jaeden, Varian, Gul'Dan, Xavius, Argus, The Legion. Velen, Tirion, Malfurion, Tyrande, Magni, The Titans.
    - The mage tower is one of the best content additions in WoW ever and I am baffled as to why there isn't more challenging solo content.
    - Each raid was Atleast A tier. Nighthold and Antorus were S tier.
    - The Transmog in Legion is still better than most of the Transmog in BFA, SL and DF.
    - Each dungeon was high quality. With the possible exception of Seat of the Triumvirate due to the sheer amount of trash mobs.
    - The cinematics were top quality.

    Cons
    - The Demon Hunter Class was unfortunately spawned from this expansion. Adhering to edgelord players and being low skill ceiling high skill floor balanced.
    - As with every expansion in WoW, the tuning was awful and ill-thought. Argus was too easy for an end boss, Kil'jaeden and Fallen Avatar were too hard. No spec felt closely tuned to one another.
    - A lot of add-on and weak-aura utilisation was formed from this expansion, Add-ons are what ruins WoW.
    - Legendary Acquisition felt awful, random drops doing any content and being time-gated is the last thing a player needs when they receive a legendary which is bad, as this meant their next could be weeks/months away.    … Expand

    I'd say the best one so far at that time. TOO BAD the whole franchise went downhill right after this masterpiece.

    The last good WoW expansion. The game probably should have died with Sargeras.

    Легион вероятно лучшее дополнение за последнее время. Введя мифик подземелья близы решили проблему которая мучила WoW все это время а именно "чем заняться помимо рейдов".

    Awesome zones and incredible soundtrack and end game content was plentiful. The raids and dungeons truly stood out the most in this expansion. Story was awesome. Ignore the 0's because that is reserved for WoD's and Shadowlands' terrible end game drought.

    Legion gave us mythic+ which most people love to this day. Makes for endless grinding for gear, which is what MMO's are all about anyway.    … Expand

    Well, to be fair, it's not comparable with Vanilla, TBC or WOTLK. But still it rocks, it brought back the vibe with something new and kept some of the old stuff. Still overrates MoP, BFA, Draenor, SDL.

    An utterly amazing expansion that introduced a lot of fun systems at the casual side and the hardcore side. Class halls should have been a permanent feature throughout World of Warcraft to maintain that sense of class identity and somewhere cool to hangout.

    Hands down the best expansion after the burning crusade, the launch experience was top tier, no lag, no server shutdown. The artifact weapons was the best addition to this game coming later with the mage tower that really test your skills for your class.

    For me, World of Warcraft: Legion is proof that modern WoW can be good if they listen to player feedback and give their development team enough time.

    I did not resubscribe until 7.1.5, but when I did, I would play daily for several hours until the expansion was over. I experienced every bit of content available and never grew tired of it. Artifact Weapons were a great idea reminiscent of the fondly remembered old talent trees, and Mythic Plus breathed new life into the game that—perhaps for the first time since Wrath's Heroic Dungeons—managed to make dungeons a relevant bit of end-game content.

    However, as we all know now, Legion was not the turning point for World of Warcraft that many of us had hoped for, as the expansions that followed it were both quite mediocre.    … Expand

    Great variety of activities. Most of all I liked the random battlegrounds. To participate in battles, you did not need to sit and dress the character in other content of the game. You came and started playing with your friends the content that suits you best.
    The mechanics of the characters are magical, in no other addon of the game I have played with such a number of characters

    The Burning Legion coming back on Azeroth, just this is a catchy thing for me. Fighting demons with the legendary artifacts from WoW's greatest champion had no price for me. Really liked also the M+ system. Raids were cool, from EN to last one Antorus. Really a great expac. Only thing, maybe a bit too much farm for the artifact power.

    Legion took me back to the times of World of Warcraft’s greatest splendor, to the era of The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. It miraculously revived a game that was already dead to me. [11/2016, p.44]

    An exhilarating return to Azeroth. World of Warcraft is as polished as ever and the newest expansion adds a few neat tweaks to the familiar formula. [Oct 2016]
