The voice actress got *throat suregery* after damaging her cords acting for a character. Reason why she couldnt voice her quests in WoW:Legion last year. Blizzard kept her as Maiev actress and also made a voice anouncer pack for her in Heroes.
Borka Dump it works for Maiev to sound this way. Also, Tricia Helfer was probably not offered enough. No idea. Also, having surgery because you wore out your vocal cords isn’t your fault. Blizzard kept her around because she sounded like maybe her hate has seeped into her voice.
Apocalypse _March I just realized that Maiev was Batman now because since I played Warcraft 3 I didnt get the reference I only knew the story back then
Makes sense that Maiev would be added as a playable hero after Legion. Too busy playing warden with Illidan. Now that her worlds Illidan is gone, she finally has free time.....that or she's still seriously obsessed with the demon hunter. Everytime an Illidan appears on an enemy team, she focuses all her energy just trolling the poor guy. She probably hears the song "It's raining men" by the Weather girls if there's a whole team of Illidan players.
"The arcane is responsible only for ruin!" *Blinks away* Her voice lines makes me want a series of movies grounded in azeroth. More a collection of stories than a azerothian LotR like they were doing.
Its funny you mention that. She was at last years Blizz Con and she mentioned she just had surgery on her vocal chords because of the work she does. She's much better now.
I don’t understand all the hate, Maiev have changed from the Warden in charge of the Watchers to a Spirit of Vengeance litterally due to all the shit she been through in her hunt after Illidan. So with that her have gotten rast and ignorant, I think it’s perfect, and that it is WC3 voice is just.. RIGHT.
It's sad that she became more one-dimensional as time go on. I liked her in WC3. Now.... eh. I think it also has a lot to do with the original voice actress' voice being much softer. This new one is very rough and grating.
I imagine she heard of their incursions into Ashenvale in WC3: Reign Of Chaos when they killed Cenarius, etc. To be honest, night elves were well know for xenophobia before WoW. They dulled them down a lot when adding them to the Alliance.
It's not her voice that's the problem. If you listen to her WC3 lines, she's calm and commanding, but afterwards she's been written/directed almost like a caricature of her old character.
I totally agree. Her Warcraft 3 was very calm yet very demanding and threatening. This voice is so forced and bland. It's like they want to make her sound like a spider demon...
Nope. It's still Debbie Mae West. The voice she does now is slightly different. She had surgery on her voicebox in 2016 I believe so it may have altered it slightly.
She really loves illidan huh

Sinestessia She's the same VA From W3
SARUSHi COMICS thats what i implied o.o
"Now that's what I call occupational commitment!"

Honestly in Warcraft 3 she didn't growl so much with her Christian Bale Batman voice style so i found it off in Legion why she talks this way.
2:12 Tsundere Maiev
Arcturionn Bloodhound sure that isn’t (reverse) yandere?
She "shares" the same voice actress with Tsunade in Italy.
I think that fits a lot and in more than one way.
@@MerlinsJester It's trundere. A tsundere won't admit her feelings, while a yandere will throw her full blown love at you in the most twisted way.
Ok so Maiev is now Batman huh???
"I am vengeance! I am the Night! I am a Warden!"
no but she has actual throat cancer irl
NO! *Im BATMAN*
DJKO12X RiPPeRX 2.0 now? where were you 20 years ago lol
Apocalypse _March I just realized that Maiev was Batman now because since I played Warcraft 3 I didnt get the reference I only knew the story back then
1:06 "Am I my brother’s keeper?" (Genesis 4:1-9)
It reminds me of Acolytes saying, "Thy will be done" when you click them.
Lookslike xD not quite as biblical, but it kinda works too.
I can hear some Warcraft 3 iconic qoutes
“At least give me a cough drop, you monster!”
The Fan of Knives pun, I'm dying
Same, lol
That pun was funny
Valerie Ratilla lame, that is not funny, that is lame
Yandere Simulator: Warden DLC
Makes sense that Maiev would be added as a playable hero after Legion. Too busy playing warden with Illidan.

4:01 *nostalgia*
Best Night Elf.
Well, second best; First place goes to that creepy quest giver in the Night Elf starting zone.
Edgy Edgington which one?
John Canary The one directly in front of where the player character spawns.
Go kill some boars UUUUUGHUU
Wow, and I thought that saying ''love and hate are just two sides of the same coin'' was a bit of an overstatement.. She has so much HOTS for Illidan!
I totally see what you did there, and i love it
9:12 (she’s talking to Illidan - Intro Dialogue in Hots)
😏😏😏
"I know all your tricks Zeratul".... well about that.
"The arcane is responsible only for ruin!" *Blinks away*
Her voice lines makes me want a series of movies grounded in azeroth. More a collection of stories than a azerothian LotR like they were doing.
I know this is an understarement and a well know fact, but BOI she's so thristy for Illidan 2:06 9:08
Wizz5 2:06 smells so BDSM
better call it illiev
i love Debi Mai West
Tbh she sounds a lot cooler now, it just makes sense that she'd be hoarse and tired after having hunted for so long.
2:02 I'm very concerned for her (and her VA's) throat too not gonna lie
Its funny you mention that. She was at last years Blizz Con and she mentioned she just had surgery on her vocal chords because of the work she does. She's much better now.
Ben Crompton nodule removal is every vocalist’s nightmare scenario
Same, especially when illidan is done with it too. *nudge nudge wink wink* (talking about maiev not the va pls don't kill me)
Fronatomy yes, I’m sure Illidan causes her to howl threats and imprecations with some regularity, given his infuriating persona
Her commitment is amazing.
as much as si hate , they would make a perfect couple
Not a single mention of Naisha. Sigh.
She literally has an ability about Naisha.
Rip Naisha. I cried when she died
Tsunade forgot to replenish her youth for some reason lmao
" caume I'm a FAN... of knifes
Is 11:23 a reference to how she has the same skillset in wc3 than he has in hots?? MUST BE
Correct! That line is Golden!
Correct! That line is Golden!
Wow, you're right! An AoE, a blink and a slowing projectile!
Best waifu. I love this character.
Fully agree! Maiev is the best!
Makes me feel the Warcraft 3 nostalgia.More so then Thrall or Arthas.
MrKalasznikov Maiev is worst girl ever, she is a pure disgrace for warcraft
I don’t understand all the hate, Maiev have changed from the Warden in charge of the Watchers to a Spirit of Vengeance litterally due to all the shit she been through in her hunt after Illidan. So with that her have gotten rast and ignorant, I think it’s perfect, and that it is WC3 voice is just.. RIGHT.
That fan of knives Pun Is really excruciating
"I feel nothing, I am nothing!!" Was so sad and cool at the same time
Those thighs ARE PREPARED!
This is great !!!! Really good !!!!
I feel bad for her voice actress for forcing this voice. I know how throat pain is like when overused.
I AM THE IRON HAND OF JUSTICE
Not sure if Maiev or Marge Simpson.
It's Maiev, but I did notice the Simpsons reference.
I would say patty or selma.
gaah23 yeah,i agree. Maybe Maiev is a smoker too,between hunts?
El Rocky Raccoon ...
No mention of the Simpsons paddling reference. That's a paddlin'.
can you please do interactions between her and illidam when possible? love the videos
Yes, of course! I'm just waiting for right picture, voice files are already connected and ready to upload =)
Blizzard never wasted an opportunity to make a stupidly bad pun 1:27
20 years and Maiev’s VA is back in action.
It's sad that she became more one-dimensional as time go on. I liked her in WC3. Now.... eh. I think it also has a lot to do with the original voice actress' voice being much softer. This new one is very rough and grating.
huh, thanks
biggest tsundere ever
Did y'all get the Simpsons' reference at around 1:00? Just like that "that's a paddlin'" scene. LOL!
Simpsons Paddle reference :D
Just waiting for Maiev to say "B-Baka!" or something...
0:40 Harry potter reference right there :D
HAHAHAHAHA 1:50 ive said it a thousand times and finally blizzard made her say it xdd
So Maiev HATES THE HORDE??
Meryl Silverburgh (MGS)
9:11 made me laugh
Marge is back with a vengence. But its more like Patty or Selma when i think about it ^^
7:15
Maiev is into bondage.
Tsunade-sama
2:12
Geez Maiev.... If you want to be noticed be kind to him not be a Yandere Tsundere mix.
Batman Maiev.
We need Hemet Nesingwary and Reinhardt in the Nexus next.
Matthew Sadlier that amount of testosterone dropping all at once would register on the Richter scale
LOL Hemet
sigh they made her sound like batman... and she used to have such a nice voice in WC :(
At 9:08 is that a star wars the last jedi reference . I did not like the movie but i know that reference
I think it's a reference to her fighting illidan "the betrayer"
Oooo hi Marge
naruto is that you?
when is the first time maiev hates the horde?
I imagine she heard of their incursions into Ashenvale in WC3: Reign Of Chaos when they killed Cenarius, etc. To be honest, night elves were well know for xenophobia before WoW. They dulled them down a lot when adding them to the Alliance.
She is labeled as "Alliance" on the official website....
Ugh, I hate Maiev's post-WC3 voice direction. She didn't used to sound anything like the full Bale-Batman treatment she's subsequently gotten.
Disclaimin Well her voice actor got old since Maiev does have the same one in WC3 and that game was a decade ago. Time changes us.
It's not her voice that's the problem. If you listen to her WC3 lines, she's calm and commanding, but afterwards she's been written/directed almost like a caricature of her old character.
If Debi Mae West didn't have voice complications, then she would have still been able to voice Maiev like how she voiced her in WC3.
I totally agree. Her Warcraft 3 was very calm yet very demanding and threatening. This voice is so forced and bland. It's like they want to make her sound like a spider demon...
MaximumKrull she’s been after Illidan for so long, her hate has warped her voice.
Is it me or does she sound like Jasper from Steven Universe?!
Hello Sylvannas
Lmao she quotes stanry roo
Someone give Maiev a Pepsi
Why she tries so hard not to sound like Lady Tsunade?
Same voice actor in italy
(awesome job at both)
...did they change her voice actor?
*cries*
Nope. It's still Debbie Mae West. The voice she does now is slightly different. She had surgery on her voicebox in 2016 I believe so it may have altered it slightly.
i see, that's good to know, she sound more hoarse now i guess. now she kinda sounds like Batman, not sure whether to laugh or not
bruh... this sux
She needs to relax, maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend
Lucas Nobre yeah um
Illidan.
I’m not keen on it sounds forced
that's just her voice
sukiesoya FYI, the va actually had to have surgery! The voice she used for Maiev actually hurt her vocal cords. That's called commitment.
Maiev is forced.
One True Vikingbard you’re disgusting.
John Canary is that the best you can do? Haha!
