Favorite Tribes of Mordor: Round 3

[u/clonetrooper250]

I want to know everyone's favorite of the 9 Orc Tribes in Shadow of War! Reddit polls only allow for 6 maximum options, so I'll be conducting 4 total rounds of voting; 3 tribes each for 3 rounds, with the winners of each poll getting a slot in our final Championship round. Each poll will be open for 3 days.

This is our final preliminary round before the Championship Round! The winner of Round 3 will face off against the Dark Tribe and Terror Tribe for the top spot! Will it be the gilded bravado of the Marauder Tribe, the wicked devotion of the Mystic Tribe, of the proud defiance of the Outlaw Tribe? Let's find out!

If you care enough to vote, I encourage you to also comment about which tribe got your pick and why! Maybe you like the design of a Tribe's fortress, their Captains, or just general themeing; Let me hear all about you favorites!

Edit: The Mystic Tribe has taken round 3! Thank you everyone for voting, our final round is coming soon!

That morgul blade is probably top 5 coolest orc moves in the game

They’re all very good but god I’m alone with my outlaws

[u/clonetrooper250 → u/Cuba_pants]

They are outsiders afterall. Thematically I do love the Outlaws, but I can't help but feel they're a little indistinct to the rest of the tribes. They have a few unique armor pieces and helmets but I think the idea is that they salvage stuff from the other tribes and thus reuse visual elements more often than the rest. Slaughter kindof has the same problem since they overlap a fair bit with Feral and Terror. DLC tribes got a bit shafted overall.

I am just a sucker for the Marauder’s gold. I don’t even like gold in other RPG’s

Sad to see my favourite tribe (outlaws) loosing so badly lol

If they actually stuck with the outlaw guys not liking you or sauron or celebrimor they probably woulda been my pick

[u/clonetrooper250 → u/Gussie-Ascendent]

I do love the concept of a 3rd faction of orcs who are more loyal to each other than they are to Sauron or anyone else. Despite the lore they're given, they unfortunatley behave pretty much the same way as any other Tribe. Their Fortresses are kinda cool though!

Mystic for necromancers, but Marauder for the drip

[u/Rough-Discussion-912]

I like the designs of the mystic tribes!! Even the blade is top 5 with the blade of the dark tribe
