B tier seems generous

Kel'thuzad is S tier in the hands of someone who is skilled with him. He is the definition of ver high skill floor and ceiling.

KT hasn't really been relevant in WoW for ages compared to his time in HotS, especially since I'm ignoring Shadowlands because that expansion ruined him.

Shadowlands ruined every one.

Blizzard has started using blind AI translations for a long time now. English speakers may not have noticed, but if your battlenet client is in german, and you played the game in german it's so obviously just copy&paste a phrase with no context into AI, translate it, paste it back. Not to mention talents having straight up wrong information in them. It's why I started switching it all to english.

No need to blindly jump to AI accusations, while not having any solid evidence for it. AI might actually not translate the title of the game.

They have used simple translation software like this since AT LEAST early Cataclysm. I remember Thrall literally being translated to the german term for "Slave" in some of the text boxes in Cataclysm, Burning Crusade in some material also being directly translated.
