So, heres a recap of all the once-major lore characters who died this patch:
Ner'zhul - dies unceremoniously as a throw-away mid-raid boss
Kel'Thuzad - dies unceremoniously as the penultimate boss
Garrosh - goes out like a chad, kills himself and his captor
Varok Saurfang - literally drops as a random trinket from Sylvanas
I salute all these characters.
They are finally free of this terrible story, and can't be ruined by Blizz any further, unlike the unlucky ones still alive.
That is, until we go to the Shadow-Shadowlands in 6 xpacs ofc, the TRUE afterlife that is beyond even the First Ones, where we meet them all again.
Shit.
