Metzen did some good work in the 90's and early 2000's, but for the last 15 years he's been a total hack.
The storylines, plot lines, and lore for all the games he's been in charge of since WarCraft 3 has been awful.
StarCraft 2's three games? Horrible, awful stories. Diablo 3? Embarrassingly awful. Every WoW expansion since WOTLK? Awful.
He regurgitates the same plot elements over and over.
A prophecy.
A powerful, chosen individual.
An invading threat.
Somebody gets "corrupted"
etc.
Same shit every game, every expansion.

Exactly, I can't even play WoW anymore because it's the exact same content while expecting different results.

Its hard to imagine the story elements of diablo 3 being any worse.

Diablo 3, after all the expansion's add on late game content actually made it a pretty decent game. The story mode is still garbage, but whatever.

Disagreed about Starcraft 2. For me, Starcraft 2 was a solid B to B+. Not as good as the original, it had its issues, but it was definitely enjoyable and worthwhile.

I liked StarCraft 2. I did find the writing awfully stilted and filled with clichés I'd expect in a StarCraft 2 fan fiction, but overall it was enjoyable.

To be fair, the story elements you mentioned are fairly common in games, movies, and TV series.
