    The blood elves know very little about the troubles of present-day kalimdor and the horde's issues on kalimdor with various factions and species.

    Putting a blood elf to be a warchief is like putting a night elf to rule the human and dwarven kingdoms - it is a completely foreign land, with completely foreign cultures and various problems and needs and even completely different types of society structure and politics, not to mention the obviously different history.

    A warchief of the horde will (probably) never be a forsaken or a blood elf;
    They are just too distant (both geographically and culture/awareness wise) to be efficient and successful leaders of the horde.
    They are also vastly more interested in their own lands and their own people - undeads and belves never gave a damn about what happens to taurens or trolls or even orcs (let alone goblins).

    A real life example would be if you put the ruler of Pakistan to be the leader of the United Nations - just massive differences in pretty much every conceivable way would prevent any efficient work from being done.

    I think a better example is it be like putting a white, rich american in as leader of a third world country, whos never had to interact or deal with that kind of harsh living before.

    And yet there is a difference between throwing a hissy-fit and having conviction in one's own opinion, and potentially acting upon it.
    At what point did I get overly-emotional and start ranting incoherently? Having a strong opinion on something doesn't equate to a hissy-fit just cos someone says so.

    This makes a lot of sense. Maybe Varian thinks that he can still talk to Lor'themar and try to bring him and his people into the Alliance. Someone that almost rejoined the Alliance seems like the best (the least worst) choice for the leader of your enemy. If this is true, then I can totally understand why Varian let them choose another warchief. Lor'themar must be the person, in the Horde, he trusts the most. Maybe Varian thinks that with him as warchief there could actually be peace between our two factions. And yeah it makes total sense that Jaina would be displeased by that.

    I hope Lor'themar won't become warchief. Why ?

    Because the QQ from players will be so high it will only be a matter of time until they kill him off somehow or completely ruin him as a character.

    Leave him be,he does a good job leading the Blood Elves.

    Lor'themar is the warchief the Horde deserves, but not the one they need right now.

    My guess is either Vol'jin, Thrall again, or Thrall's child from the future.

    Yes because leading a kingdom that was completely ravaged by undead, having 90% of your population destroyed, then your prince and a good half of your people allying themselves with demons while the rest of your people are addicted to magic, then having a new warchief who treats you and your people like garbage is an EXTREMELY cushy job.

    Do you even understand what politicians and world leaders do? Especially ones that are allied to one another? Do you really think that Lor'themar and Sylvanas, and every other racial leader for that matter don't have extensive reports and teams of people exactly for the purpose of keeping them up to date with what is happening in the rest of the world, ESPECIALLY the cities they are allied with?

    Lor'themar makes sense, for both factions. For one it explains why the Alliance just packs up and leaves after taking the city. I don't know why people are so upset at the idea, since by looking at the character, he would make a perfectly good Warchief... OH but wait of course he's a blood elf, which automatically makes him a second class Horde citizen. Baine or Vol'jin will surely speak up against this outrage! It's not like anyone learned any lessons from Garrosh excommunicating and oppressing their own people because of his own bigotry and racism.

    I want Lor'themar because it would be interesting. We've had a Thrall, we've had a Garrosh, now give us something new and interesting instead of just a renamed Thrall which is what people seem to want.

    Sure, just exclude sylvanas.

    QFT.

    Pretty much what I said in another thread.

    I can totally see Warchief Lor'themar and High King Varian working together for the betterment of Azeroth. And in a few expansions, I can see the Alliance mantle being passed on to Anduin, perhaps after Varian falls to the Legion.

    Then we get Warchief Lor'themar (wearing Doomhammer's plate) and High King Anduin (wearing his father's armor and bearing his sword) spearheading the Army of Light against Kil'jaeden, Archimonde, and Sargeras.

    I find it somewhat disheartening that everyone hates Garrosh for being a racist, ignorant bigot, and then turning around saying, "Lor'themar can't be Warchief because he's a blood elf!!!"

    It's because he was racist against the wrong races of course. It's hilarious to watch people tout about saying blood elves and forsaken aren't a part of the "TRUE" Horde. Where have we heard that before...

    Better a belf than Sylvanas or Thrall again.

    I'd prefer Vol'jin, but if Lor gets it, I won't be upset.

    I still don't think of blood elves as being a "true" part of the Horde, I don't care how that sounds. They would be better off if they broke ties with the Horde and lead a third faction in the game.

    After Garrosh has been brought to his knees, a strange mist will envelop the chamber. Rising from the mist, will be Kangaroo Jack. Everyone, including Garrosh, will have a look of shock, as Kangaroo Jack walks toward the "Warchief." He will execute Garrosh, and sit upon the throne, becoming our new Warchief.

    It's because he has long hair, smooth facial features, and proper proportions instead of tusks jutting out of his jaw and bad posture.
