Your favorite World of Warcraft Antagonist!

I'm surprised by all of the Garrosh answers. Usually, people won't hesitate to bash his character.

Indeed. We can see here that the Lich King (in this thread at least) is the most "loved" villain, and there are polarized opinions on Garrosh.
I think people have a deeper conection with Arthas because his story has been built since Warcraft 3, and lots of players here watched his evolution.

But Garrosh? His evolution is "new stuff"... And not-so-well done, because his transition from a depressed orc from Outland into a Warlord of Draenor is kinda... blunt IMO. Blunt, but not impossible: If we had access to all his thoughts since Outland, maybe we could see what really happened in that ogre-faced head of his.

You have to say: EXCLUDING THE LICH KING!

OT: Gul'dan or Kil'Jaeden definitely. The Lich King was a pawn

Antagonists:

1. The Lich King
2. Sargaras
3. Gul'dan
4. Medivh (posessed)

Stupidly implemented antagonists:"
1. Deathwing
Ultimate Kingpin, but only a lootpiñata. So much potential. They should have built him up during WOTLK around Ulduar or something.

2. Illidan
In my opinion not truly an endboss. He seems more like a misunderstood creature and made some decisions that lead him astray. My guess that in time he could be turned back into the light had he not been used as an endboss.

3. Kael'thas
This guy never was evil during WC III. Sure he became angry. Angry at the racist human leader(s). I can understand that. And his loyalty towards Illidan, I can understand that. But a real antagonist... I'd rather have him as separate faction or a boss you could redeem.

4. Garrosh
Oh yeah Garrosh earned his wings during Cata and MoP. But seriously... Like Varian his character sorta did a 180 in terms of how he got portrayed. Garrosh imo never was a great commander or leader. Imo he was the son of a fantastic/legendary father. He was more or less a dissapointment.
