How would you feel about Lor'themar Theron as Warchief?

[ACES]

I would love it if Lor'themar became the next warchief, especially if that meant Silvermoon being updated and becoming the new Horde hub city.

Speaking as an Alliance player, I would feel really weird about it. I mean, he lives further from the rest of the Horde than even Sylvanas. Granted, all I know about him is his involvement with the Isle of Thunder assault.

[Skutch]

Vol'jin for the win.

[Wishblade]

Nope, cuz Warchief is an orc title, for the orc leader which will have to be replaced, and not by another racial leader.

Every warchief so far has been an Orc and I think that it should stay that way!

[Krolikn]

Hes the best candidate in the Horde right now. That traitor Thrall can stay away.

[Direction]

I don't think it will be Lor'themar, it'll probably another orc.

Sadly blizzard seems to have bought into the nonsense that a warchief will have to be an orc.

And forum posters didn't help this stupid prospect. Which basically leaves us with a pretty damn limited pool of potentials.

If they make blood elf male a new "warchief" of the horde, me and my Undead friends are rerolling Alliance.

How can you call Thrall a traitor? He didn't betray anyone...

I would really like it! First of all because I'm a huge Blood Elf-fan, and secondly, he proved his capabilities multiple times in this expansion. I really like the guy.
There is also something nice in the two factions having humanoid leaders (no racism here, I mean the structure and personalities of the characters).

[lupii]

I'd be insulted if he wasnt!

Okay...but seriosuly I would love for him to be warchief.

It's like a tradition in Warcraft. And I personally think that it should stay that way.

I think Lor'themar would make a decent and interesting warchief---but heres the only thing that really kind of makes me wonder.

I know that Garrosh didnt really stop Sylvanas from raising up humans, and keeping the valk'yr, and all her other little hobbies she got into after Wolk, but he did set her straight with how he felt about them, and her. He made it clear that he had her number and was watching her--and also didnt respect those tactics (one of the few times i really kinda miss pre-sha Garrosh--that was a great moment for him. That and when he wouldnt back up Magatha when she took over TB, that note he wrote her was priceless). We have no idea if his attitude about that may have curbed some of her behavior, but she knew she had to watch her step.

Would she respect Lor'themar the same way? or just ignore his wishes and do what she pleased? Even though Silvermoon is so much closer to the Undercity than Orgrimmar, does he have that in him, and how would it play out?

The Blood Elves overall just don't fit the Horde. I mean I can see them as part of it, as an Alliance of convenience, but I can't see them leading it.

And about the only orc that has never screwed that up that's an orc is Thra...Oh wait, he gave the mantle away to an idiot so he doesn't count either. See a pattern? Give an orc a leadership position and eventually they will screw things up.

This would open the door for a very Blood Elf focussed storyline development for the next expansion.

because they already havent had plenty of development?

Have Orgrimmar somewhat sacked,

dont you dare touch the most badass city of the Horde

[Al Gorefiend]

Worst decision Blizzard could possibly make. It wouldn't even feel like good story, it'd feel like catering to the Horde's majority player race.

But hasn't that been the line of the Horde since day one? It's an Alliance of people that need to depend on each other because thats all they have. Thats why Sylvanas has been a part of it since Vanilla.

according to some sound files the elf has grown some balls regarding Slyannas, then again they arnt the most powerful in terms of martial strength
