I can see it now..

Jaina: It's over. Garrosh will wreck this world no longer.
Varian: Over? No, Jaina. There is still work to be done.
Varian: Have you forgotten we're with the soul of our very enemy, the Horde?
Jaina: And what do you propose? We end it here?
Varian: Exactly. Now is the best opportunity we will ever get.
Jaina: No. I won't allow it. We are above genocide.
Varian: So we just let them be?
Jaina: No. We change it. There is one I know of that will lead this Horde down a noble path from now on.
Jaina points to Lor'Themar

Lor'themar looks at Jaina surprised
Lorthemar: Huh?
Lor'themar looks back...
Lorthemar: Wait... ME?!
Jaina: Yes, Lorthemar you can lead the Horde, you're noble, you know when a fight is to be fought, you know when someone is your enemy or not, and... you know what's the best for yo...
Varian: Jaina...
Jaina: What happen my king?
Varian: He's running away...
Jaina: Who?
Varian: Lorthemar...
Varian points at the Lorthemar who's running away as fast as he can
Jaina: Fuck... now what?
Sylvanas: Hey... I'm willingly to take the responsability to be the Warchief *smile*
Varian & Jaina: NO!

#1) There's already a thread like this one: Here

#2) I believe either Rexxar or Grom. Why? Because they're unexpected - and cool - and loveable characters. :3
Blizzard did state that it would be the least predictable character we could think of, and the characters in the poll are predictable/easy to hope for.
Why not Vol'jin? Because its already been stated numerous times that trolls can't lead the orcs. Gamon, a tauren, is very unpredictable, but also unlikely since there's already one "King Tauren". The orcs are too bloodthirsty for a piece of raw-steak to lead them (not meaning to be offensive to any Gamon fans of course, I like him too :3). Grom is dead, it's very unpredictable that he comes back to life. Rexxar is just plain awesome, he's disappeared for a while - just long enough for many people to not expect him (WC3 lovers, unite!), is a loved character, and he has the blood of an orc/ogre so he can most definitely rule over Orgrimmar.

The fact that you seriously use "King Tauren", think that Grom Hellscream will come back to life, or that Rexxar would EVER be Warchief simply means that either:
A: You're dumb.
B: You're a Troll.


Either way you have no place in this thread.

Keep it civil please.

...That wasn't very nice. You didn't even explain why.

Quite honestly, I shouldn't need to.

I would agree that, that "...wasn't very nice. You didn't even explain why. " You may not think you shouldn't need to but I do If you're going to criticize someone's creativity at least give reasoning as to why - rather than being too arrogant to. For all I know your reasoning may be that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, or maybe your mind-process is very blunt and can't handle the creativity of my words such as: "King Tauren". Notice the quotes? You know the little bunny ear quotes people use use with their fingers? ... It was meant out of pure creativity. My entire answer to this thread was what me and half of my heroic raiding guild came up with. Read my words more precisely - it's unpredictable that Grom would come back to life. And MANY MANY people think Rexxar might come into play. Don't just throw someone's idea's off the table because they put it in a way you didn't like. I could presume you as a "jerk" - because you replied in that manner because maybe you just don't understand me. Just as you could presume me as "dumb" - because I wrote in a creative "language" you don't understand.

Baine's father, Cairn, should have been the warchief since he was literally wiping the floor with Garrosh in that duel.

However since Garrosh dishonorably won by poisoning Cairn (garrosh "did not know"...), it would be as close to justice as possible to have Baine as the new warchief.

He has a lot of potential to be an awesome character, so he needs a good position to shine and develop.
Cairn was awesome and Baine can be even better.

[Wildberry]

Creativity, bunny ears, arrogance, and waking up on the wrong side of the bed

As far as Grom, you stated Vol'jin wouldn't be Warchief (which I agree with on the grounds that he's not an Orc) because it's expected, you then say that Grom is unexpected. In your mind how would he come back, would the Val'kyr resurrect him? Because that only works on Humans (Silverpine Forest, Pyrewood Quests, Horde Side)

As for Rexxar, you mentioned liking Warcraft III, I can respect that, but if you'll remember he wasn't too fond of society when we met him in "The Founding of Durotar", Thrall offers him a place in Orgrimmar but he refuses, he usurps Stonemaul chieftanship to help the Horde and then leaves his clan to fend for themselves. He's a cool likeable character, but definitely not leadership material, the position of Warchief does require some "paper shuffling" (The part that Thrall [In the Shattering] Chuckled at the thought of Garrosh doing.) Rexxar is a hermit, and a wanderer, not the type that would even think about leading one of the two largest political organizations in the world.

You mean Cairne got a few good shots in early on, but then Garrosh shattered his runespear leaving him with one "tooth" of it to be held in one hand. For the record, despite the pain Cairne's arm and shoulder jabs caused Garrosh, a single tooth isn't going to be able to meet, block, or parry a two handed weapon.

[Trassk]

Alliance should not have any say on who will be the warchief, period.

Sure speculate, but its not your faction to decide on whats important to it.

Or shall I suggest who should take over as high king? Maybe that bread lady thats been walking around ironforge for 8 years.

You may want to read that again. Cairne would have had the deathblow on Garrosh if it had not been for the poison.

[Nearmyth]

Gamon!

But seriously, I could easily see a Horde Council happening. But knowing Blizzard, I could see them going back to Thrall. Or POSSIBLY Vol'Jin... Lor'Themar would be fruggin' awesome, but a Blood Elf being the Warchief doesn't seem very traditional.

My main concern is how this will affect a lot of the questing having to do with Garrosh as warchief, timeline's gonna be all screwy.

[CosmicGuitars]

There's no way he'll stay as Warchief, now. Or even alive, for that matter.

[ro9ue]

Rexxar!

Oh wait, Wildberry is here......

[ShadowJester]

I love your avatar.

Related to these, I am hoping for Lor'themar. I know he won't, but I will hope.

I am kinda in the same boat, I want Baine to be warchief harder than anything.

But to be honest you are dumb (myself included) if you think anyone but Vol'jin is going to step up. He's the leader of the rebellion, normally the person next in line for leadership when a coup is successful. Blizz just vomitsplosioned a million gallons of backstory, character arch and lore into Vol'jin, and on top of that he is going to be the main focus of the next book that comes out. He's helped shaped the Thrall's horde since its creation in WC3. I'm just saying you don't put that much work into someone unless you got big plans for them.

I still won't ever give up hope that it'll be Baine, but deep down I know that it's going to be Vol'jin

[deviantcultist]

Everyone who is NOT an Orc, Troll or Tauren is a fine Warchief in my eyes. No more tribal themes please.

[Wildberry]

You may want to read that again. Cairne would have had the deathblow on Garrosh if it had not been for the poison.

It's told from Cairne's PoV, so there's nothing too definitive there, but as it is described, Garrosh is drained but still fighting, Cairne just had his weapon shattered and is relying on a good thrust, whether or not Cairne would have won, we don't know, but I don't think it's entirely fair to say that Cairne was wiping the floor with him when he had his weapon shattered.

Rexxar!

Oh wait, Wildberry is here......

Am I building some sort of negative reputation here as a naysayer and buzzkill, oh my :O

On that note, though, I DO like Rexxar as a character.

The semi-tribal theme IS the Horde though, not point in changing something that works fine. Go play another game if you don't like it, don't ruin ours.

You have a very good point, thanks for the explanation/reply.
I guess in this situation Vol'jin would be unexpected, blatantly, because he's a troll.
In my mind, I was kind of leaving it up to Blizzard to fill in the details of how Grom would be able to come back to life - you know them, they're good at creating new routes with sorcery. Or maybe there will be a come-back of, "Grom was severely hurt to the point of death but then, secretly off-screen, a shaman rescued him!" Of course, this is all an "if" situation on the surface.

As for Rexxar you make a very solid point that I'm aware of. I was trying to be positive in regards to, maybe he's had a change of heart? It's unexpected that he would, but I guess we'll see when 5.4 comes out. Thx again for your insight.
