Thrall’s kind of like Mickey. He was big back in his day, now he’s just an icon. A face for the brand. Disney isn’t making Mickey cartoons these days.

Uninspiring key art tbh. Thrall looking like he can belongs in the dragonflight loading screen with the aspects. Lilith looks like she lost and doesn’t really represent diablo. Doomfist in the key art again because they needed someone of color. And the generic StarCraft marine maybe they announce StarCraft 3 so why would they have some generic marine?

Metzen tricked me with Thrall last blizzcon.
Never again.

I don’t think so. Everything looks pretty dope to me. Vastly prefer Didier’s iconic style, but this is by no means bad.

Wondering if Thrall is returning to Warrior-hood, or if Enhancement shaman are getting two-handed uber-slam-pow-pow back 
- (In all honesty, I could just see Thrall still being a shaman but using a two hander & not allowing playable shaman to have such as a viable playstyle)
All that aside, if Thrall gets some shine again (actual shine, not some trivial side-story / insignificant in comparison to main narratives) it’ll be a good relief to see Horde FINALLY get some limelight 
Also for Thrall to again — FINALLY — get out of his elemental dysfunction, and/or holiday from being a notable figure in the story once more, lol

Thrall exists solely for boring fanservice. He’s only shown so people can say, “I know him.”
Furthermore, the Thrall on the poster is just a shadow of his former self, a broken man suffering from depression.
It’s always amusing, though, how Blizzard uses Horde characters in advertising while only Alliance characters appear in the game itself…

I mean yeah, NOW he is … He’s sort of like the poster-child for the Horde for Blizzard to throw at the players and be like:
- “See!? Thrall is here! The Horde toootally have participation
Anyway, soooo 
Now that THAT’S dealt with, lets go back to our beloved Alliance girl-boss super-duper main character …”
More-or-less.

Oh, c’mon, he got to be racist and learn the error of his ways in DF!

Now imagine if they brought back the guy who voiced him for advertisement…
