Which 40k character gets the same kind of hate Jar Jar Binks got during the release Star Wars Episode 1?(In other words, which character is the most annoying, over the top, unnecessary and pointless?)

Draigo. Because she should never have been able to kill that Demon primarch

I like to imagine the Emperor kills so many Orks that he ends up half buried beneath a pile of corpses, with only his head sticking out. A lone grot stumbles across him, and starts choking him.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

Lol. There's no reason that he shouldn't be able to do it, it's what he was made for.

Without trying to continue this debate here, maybe he should've just stabbed that daemon primarch through the heart rather than writing some fella's name on it?

"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of."
- Roboute Guilliman

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

When we say over the top, we'll throw Draigo in there. He's just so out there, he can't be taken seriously. Plus he is spurned by MOST people on here who have taken a hating to a character. Before the white knights step in, this is merely an observation of the general concensus about Draigo. People claim his rules to be WAY over the top, and he is widely despised for being such. I happen to agree, and would NEVER field him, but this is still just an observation of the masses. We could also call Mat Ward the Jar Jar of 40k. I mean, have you seen the man's smile?!

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Matt Ward

Though Draigo does actually fit the stereotype:

1.) Character is over-the-top
2.) Character was not reacted to in a way the developers intended (Ward/GW intended awe-inspiring, fanbase mostly gave mockery)
3.) Character is near universally maligned
4.) Character has big ears

How often does Draigo get fielded with a GK army list, and at what points? The majority of non-GK players may hate him, but how often is he really fielded? And how many GK players feel the same way? Is there anybody in YOUR codex you despise for being over-the-top? Are there any you field that gives your opponents that look on their face when you tell them who it is? Do you really feel bad about it? Or do you revel in their discomfort knowing that you sliced this guy off the block of cheddar just to ruin their day? Double standard, anyone?

The closest I have I think would be Snikrot. He's the only named guy I have that people respond unpleasantly about. They are highly concerned about Ghazgkhull, but not derisive like with Snikrot.

But most of the main characters in DoW were funny, while Jar Jar is just annoying.

I still laugh at that. They are funny. But Abaddon is a failure and is plain annoying. There we go /thread.

Snikrot is an unknown quantity. He comes in where he likes. They are never as distastefully rude about Snikrot as I have been with GK players, but they dislike his abilities all the same.

Suggestion: the Great Trimutive assembles, we find Mat Ward, and brutally accidentally cut his chin off with axes and fire the hideous creature into the sun. That way, he can free of it's mind-controlling influences and write good fluff.
