still dont think theres going to be one singularity leader amongst the horde. i still believe theres going to be a war council with each race represented by their current faction leader
Eh, i don't think so. Garrosh is what? A warrior? Vol'jin is a Shadow Hunter. Plus he has the voodoo. You don't mess with the Voodoo.
In all seriousness though, Vol'jin has not seen enough of a role for him to really be discounted as a 'contender'. Also, lets not forget how Garrosh was a crybaby just a few years ago, who couldn't even lead a single tribe of Mag'har. He's brash, cold, and holds onto his position through fear. Vol'jin is clever, respected, and had the foresight to see what Garrosh would become. All qualities Thrall also possessed.
Vol'jin is anything but a victim. What he has done he most likely did for the sake of his people. The same cannot be said about Garrosh, who strives to fill his fathers boots, and cannot.
Maybe we all need to take a step back and look at what Blizzard has been doing. They do unexpected things all the time. I could see Lor'themar becoming the leader especially after what we expect Garrosh's barbaric ways to lead the horde to. If you play through Cata you see the people Garrosh is putting in charge are doing terrible things to allies of the horde. My prime example is what the orcs did to the Tauren on stonetalon. We also see a lack of obeying command with the siege of Gilneas and Sylvannas attempting to use the plague as a weapon. If you think about it the bloodelves may be just as suited to lead the horde at the moment, the forsaken are composed of both undead humans,high elves and night elves (I've always thought it's interesting that orcs,trolls,tauren,dwarves and gnomes don't become scourge/forsaken), the Tauren are neutral to leadership, though I could see Stonetalon leaving a bad taste in their mouth. It essentially just leaves the Trolls and Orcs as wildcards.
