There's no real Orc leader, I mean you can claim Saurfang but barring being an obstacle in Org raids he's never been a huge character, with Vol'jin dead there's no real Troll leader anymore,
Baine, while promising, is fairly new, and hasn't done a lot to distinguish himself unlike Cairne who established his roots way back in WC3
Lor'themar, as others have pointed out, the only real memorable thing he's done is try and leave the horde
and finally you have Gallywix, who is such a non character he doesn't even have a unique model in the game, so I mean really, they didn't really have another choice but give it to her
