* Tassadar remaining hostile and suspicious towards Kerrigan [[spoiler: even if she's already pulled a HeelFaceTurn]] might seem out of place until you realize that by the time Kerrigan [[spoiler: is fully cleansed of Amon's influence]], Tassadar [[spoiler: was long dead; the spirit of him appearing in Starcraft II is actually Ouros in disguise ]]. He died before knowing of [[spoiler: Amon's existence]], and so does not realize that she isn't the [[spoiler: partially-Amon-influenced]] Queen of Blades anymore.

* “Timing” is the keyword while playing as Chromie as the player is required [[DifficultButAwesome to time the use of her skills well.]] This is quite fitting for a member of the [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Bronze Dragonflight]], whose specialty is time manipulation.

** That doesn't sound so bad, since she is ultimately trying to save nature from the [[EldritchAbomination Old Gods]]. But if you know VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} lore, you might be reminded of a [[Characters/WarcraftTheBurningLegion certain faction]] with that exact same goal and motivation. Lunara is already walking down the slippery slope that leads characters into becoming demons, including the exact line of thought that drove [[GreaterScopeVillain Sargeras]] insane.

* Using ''Dive'' with Illidan is completely counterproductive in PvE, if it isn't used to dodge or reposition. Unless the ''Marked for Death'' talent is picked, Illidan's Basic Attack deals more damage.
* Samuro's ''Bladestorm'', while looking very cool and giving him [[TheJuggernaut Unstoppable]], had multiple flaws, like instantly giving away who the real Samuro was (which is counterproductive for a GlassCannon who relies on ConfusionFu), not actually dealing more single-target damage than his Basic Attacks and also not increasing his movespeed, making it easy for many heroes to escape him. Thus, it was never a serious option for the highest skilled players, especially compared to ''Illusion Master'', which greatly emphasizes Samuro's general gameplay. Blizzard decided to fix this gradually by giving him the ability to switch with his images baseline, as well as replacing the Unstoppable effect with Armor and drastically reducing the cooldown, thus turning it more into a waveclearing ability.

'''Lunara:''' [[NecessaryEvil I would rather see them burn.]]

* The ''Franchise/{{Diablo}}'' heroes and the Lost Vikings generally have the hardest time adjusting to the Nexus, if their StopPokingMe quotes are any indication. ''Diablo'' is the only one of the four major franchises without a MOBA attached to them (''VideoGame/StarCraft'' gave birth to ''Aeon of Strife'', ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' generated ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'', and even ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' is something of a MOBA/FPS hybrid), and the Vikings are coming out of a seventeen-year retirement after last appearing in a platformer.

** Alternatively, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming maybe this is her real personality after all now that she's not constantly mindwiped.]]

* When D'va's MEKA "dies" due to sustained damage (or self-destructs) she pops out of it and walks around on her own 2 feet, just like she does in her home universe. When the Vikings use their Longboat raid, the ship can be destroyed and they would be left stunned for a lenghty period of time in its wreckage. Killing the Triglav Protector, the Dragon Knight, the Garden Terror and almost any other vehicle, the pilot plops back out no worse for the wear. But when I tried playing Tychus and he's destroyed in his Odin, Tychus dies rather than just pop out and continue fighting like all the aforementioned cases. Tychus dies along with the warmachine he's using, just like any other pilot ''would'' in ''his'' home universe.

* One of Junkrat's heroics is a literal SuicideAttack where he actually straight-up dies. Thankfully, he respawns a moment later. Thinking back to the tutorial, maybe when Junkrat "ascended" to the Nexus, he got the schpiel about respawning from Uther, and in his unhinged way \decided to weaponize it.

* Gazlowe's Halloween costume is just a paper bag with something crudely drawn on it. [[TheScrooge Why spend the money for something that looks nicer when this works perfectly fine?]]

* Save for Zarya, none of the Overwatch heores know how to ride horse (Genji squats on the saddle, Tracer has the wrong posture, Lucio and D.Va have other movement abilities) because by the time Overwatch takes place, horse riding is pretty much completely unheard of.

** Alarak, also motivated by vengeance (against [[spoiler:Amon]]), takes a liking to Murky because they are in the same boat.

He died before knowing of [[spoiler: Amon's existence]], and so does not realize that she isn't the [[spoiler: partially-Amon-influenced]] Queen of Blades anymore.

** In Alarak's case, he asks Murky to "come and claim vengeance together". Remember that back in Starcraft II, Alarak's actions were mostly fueled by his revenge against [[spoiler:Amon]] (or, in layman's terms, Alarak is motivated by vengeance too) , and so he does not have trouble allying with someone who is ''practically in the same situation''.

* Save for Zarya, none of the Overwatch heores knoe how to ride horse.
