    [SPOILERS] The Horde's new Warchief is...=

    Anduin: I know it's difficult to trust, but there are signs of change within the Horde. In place of a warchief, there is now a council led by Baine, Thrall, and the others. I believe they can--
    Don't know how I feel about it. Doesn't seem very Horde to me. Would of preferred to see a Chieftain..

    There's no Horde left to have a Warchief. Just an Alliance puppet state with an old banner that no longer has meaning.

    You could say that it's some kind of alliance between different states, one that chooses to fly a red flag. If only there were some kind of way to combine these two qualities into a catchy name...
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.

    So, the Alliance is forced to have Anduin as their Warchief, but the Horde gets a council?

    Why? Why is Blizzard flipping the factions like this? Warchief is Horde.

    I feel a council better represents what the Horde currently is. It's not longer an entity held together by orcish customs and a council forces each leader to take more responsibility for their individual actions/lack there of.

    Saw it coming. The status of Warchief was a pretty outdated concept, anyway.

    its kinda what you would expect from blizzard.

    alliance went from council to high king.
    horde went from warchief to council.

    next up: internal division in the alliance.

    Warchief is a title/thing that has blown up in their face again and again.

    What's the expression again? Something 'doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is madness' something.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    Makes sense.

    This is what people said should of happened at the end of MoP. But then we got Vol'jin.

    I know what your saying, but it still doesn't feel very Horde to me. Perhaps when I see it in action I'll change my mind, I thought changing the name from Warchief to Chieftain or something would of been good.

    It's ironic, the Alliance have a High King (Warchief) and the Horde now have a council. You'd of thought it would be the opposite way round.

    Actually, yeah. It's a compromise for an ugly situation that has only gotten worse over time.

    How’s that dumbing down?

    It allows for more spot light for other racial leaders.

    I can respect that. In my opinion both factions should have a council because of the differences in culture and such.

    It isn't dumbing down, if anything it almost guarantees more complexity and nuance in the leadership.

    The warchief position is obsolete - it was just a plot device for blizzard to torture us with shit stories like Garrosh in WoD, Vol'jin in Legion and Sylvanas in BfA.
    If anything, this comes a bit too late.

    This was bloody obvious once Sylvanas starting showing her crazy side. Warcheif's don't work.
