I learned a long time ago (first hand) if you think a race is bad, you need to approach it delicately.
1. The engineers only frame of reference might be months ago, and it was GOOD back then, and maybe some things changed (NOT on the race) and they didn't realize how it affected the race.
2. People put time and energy in. I promise you if I was capable of making War3 perfect and  time was not a factor, I would make it perfect. I do this for free (and I'm not looking for that to change) - so every time I'm working on War3 is me taking my time away from playing video games (which is the reason we are all here - myself included) or doing something else entirely.
 
I don't remember ever thinking Thor was bad. I specifically remember on the "MWGA" update, I was considering giving it more bonus speed (like 5% or something minor) and ultimately decided not to - so it was definitely on my radar.
 
Honestly, I had no idea why Thor wasn't absorbing the lightning damage. I had heard it was happening, but it wasn't in the bug report so I hadn't taken the time to figure out how it works. I'm pretty serious about the bug tracker.

While I agree with you that should be fixed, it looks like an oversight with a new race having a new weapon name (Lightning shield versus chainlightning). Furthermore, your tone is rude, as you saying that the engineers are annoying you by not fixing a minor bug caused by a new race not interacting properly with a very old race's expertise and that it "should" work such a way and that the race is "bad" because of this sounds suspiciously like you consider yourself superior to the engineers. Finally, and most importantly, if you'd even glanced at the thread "Warcraft 3 Bug Report Guidelines" you would know that you are supposed to post bugs in the Bug Tracker.

Let me fix that

Fixed

Can confirm that being gay usually translates into playing a lot of Night Elf.

WE'RE LOSING AT FUN, WE'RE LOSING AT INTERESTING MECHANICS, WE'RE LOSING AT OVERPOWERED RACES, WE'RE LOSING OLDFAGS, WE'RE LOSING AT KEEPING ENGINEERS AROUND, AND WE'RE ESPECIALLY LOSING AT MEMES
 

 
IT'S TIME TO MAKE WARCRAFT GREAT AGAIN
 
 
 
THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA DO IS FIX BUGS...
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE THE BUGS PAY FOR IT!
WE'RE GONNA MAKE MOLE WORK AGAIN, NO MORE SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED CASH JUST FOR A DUD SHOPITEM! WE'RE GONNA MAKE PYROMANIAC MINES ON AMERICAN TURF, AND THEY ARE GONNA WORK CORRECTLY, NO MORE BLOWING UP FROM FIRE BEING NEARBY  
THEN WE'RE GONNA GET BETTER DEALS...
WE AREN'T MAKING GOOD DEALS ANY MORE!
WE'RE GONNA GET SOCK OF THE FEATHER FOR $2,000 INSTEAD OF $2,500 WE'RE GONNA MAKE WEAPON SLING, A NEW DEFENSIVE ITEM THAT REDUCED THE CHANCE OF GETTING DISARMED BY 70% FOR A MERE $2,000!  
THEN WE'RE GONNA MAKE QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
WARCRAFT IS GONNA BE BETTER THAN EVER
WE'RE GONNA MAKE CRUSADER'S WISH NOT SPAWN GUNS IF YOUR RACE SPAWNS WITH GUNS IN THAT SLOT ALREADY - NO MORE GETTING JIPPED OUT OF YOUR HARD EARNED GUNS! WE'RE GONNA SELL THE AUG AND SG ON THE GUNS MENU! WE'RE GONNA MAKE EVADE PSEUDO RANDOM, GREATLY DECREASING THE CHANCE THAT 25% EVADE TRIGGERS 5/5 TIMES, WHILE ALSO GREATLY DECREASING THE CHANCE THAT EVADE TRIGGERS 0/5 TIMES! SEE THE LINK FOR MORE DETAILS. THEN WE'RE GONNA BUFF OUR RACES,
BECAUSE, BOY DO WE LOVE OUR RACES
ABADDON IS GOING TO HAVE A 3 SECOND ULTIMATE (UP FROM 2.5) AND HIS APHOTIC SHIELD WILL BLOCK 90% OF DAMAGE (UP FROM 80%) ADVENTURER'S ROGUE CLOAK IS GONNA HAVE AN EVADE CHANCE OF 18% (UP FROM 16%) CORPSE BOMBER IS GONNA DEAL MARGINALLY MORE DAMAGE WITH HIS DETONATION DEFAULT IS GONNA BE IMMUNE TO A LOT MORE, INCLUDING POISON, CRIT, BASH, LEECH, WEAPON DROP, FIRE, SLOW, KNOCKBACK, AND MAYBE EVEN MORE!

THEN WE'RE GONNA ADD A RACE TO THE SERVER
BECAUSE WE'RE TIRED OF THE SAME OLD RACES
BATTLEFIELD PRO IS NOW PLAYABLE AT 4500 TOTAL LEVELS! REGEN WAS REPLACED WITH AN ALL NEW, NEVER BEFORE SEEN, BRIEFLY TESTED ULTIMATE! GO GIVE IT A WHIRL! THEN WE'RE GONNA MAKE STRIDES IN CODING EFFICIENCY
BECAUSE WE'RE TIRED OF ALWAYS LAGGING 
(NO GUARANTEE THIS MADE A NOTICEABLE EFFECT ON THE LAG.. IT PROBABLY ISN'T A HUGE DIFFERENCE, AND I WON'T KNOW TILL I SEE IT LIVE)
WE'RE GONNA RECODE REGEN FROM THE GROUND UP BECAUSE REGEN WAS UNNECESSARILY BEING MANAGED EVERY SINGLE GAME FRAME WE'RE GONNA CHANGE HOW SPEED IS SET, BECAUSE SPEED WAS UNNECESSARILY BEING RECALCULATED AND RESET EVERY SINGLE GAME FRAME WE'RE GONNA STOP UNNECESSARILY STORING PLAYER WEAPONS EVERY 2 GAME FRAMES FOR CRUSADERS WISH, AND START STORING THEM EVERY TIME A PLAYER PICKS UP OR DROPS A GUN  
AND THE BEST PART IS? ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY LIVE!

From the Global Server Rules:
No exploiting to gain an unfair cash, xp, or level advantage. Do not cheat in any way, hack, or exploit any feature on the servers. From the War3 Server Rules:
Unless you are a race tester, do not exploit races. No loop-holing the rules. If you are caught trying to undermine the rules with picky language or in any way abusing them for personal benefit serious consequences will follow.
 
That said, what I am about to address shouldn't even need to be in the rules.
 
Anything that gives you an unfair advantage in any way is obviously wrong.
For example, if you found a way to
deal excessive damage get an unreasonable amount of cash get an unreasonable amount of experience keep shop items through death when you should not be able to (I know there is a C4 bug but it isn't really abuseable) If you abuse these things (or anything similar) you are obviously giving yourself an unfair advantage. If you get to a very high level in a very short time, you are ruining the fun of achievement for others. What is the point of all of Ghoul or dMech's hard work if someone else finds an exploit to get 400 levels instantly? Even if they themselves can use it going forward, they have put more than a year of work into earning what they have.
 
In no way, shape, or form is this fair or in the spirit of Warcraft. I (and I imagine most others as well) highly frown upon anyone abusing something that is obviously not intended. If something seems too good to be allowed, it probably is.
 
A list of signs that you shouldn't be doing something:
If you question what you are doing because an SO (or any other admin) joins the server If your only defense is "but I wasn't breaking any rules" (when it isn't even true, see: above rules) If you collude with other players "hey let's get on when nobody else is" If you wouldn't do what you are doing with a full server and multiple admins on If you have to do any fishy shit like swapping teams, suiciding, orchestrating kills, orchestrating who wins the round, etc. If you are worried about an SO pm'ing me about what you are doing and you need to "explain how it isn't breaking the rules" then you probably shouldn't be doing what you are doing.
 
Keep in mind, this includes things like admins giving out HP and Negevs and people playing on CSGO Pro to gain additional xp. If it not explicitly approved by myself, skitt, or bulletford, admins can not and should not do anything in their power that helps players earn experience.
 
If you find big bugs, please tell me. I have given level bank before if the bug is significant enough and if the player comes to me without abusing it in any way.
 
Earn your levels. Don't do anything to give yourself an unfair advantage.
It isn't that hard.
 
Thanks.
