I think the general disappointment also stems from just how reflective of WoD Shadowlands seems on the surface atm. So … Blizz takes our faction for joyride again? Fills us to the brim with garbage again? And then runs away from the consequences of that into another dimension again? Oh, and who’s going to be our big named characters in that new dimension? Welp, Draka and Kael … so like WoD … its likely going to be following Thrall and Liadrin again?!
Even the idea that Kael’thas would be used to finally, after so many years, give Rommath a chance at development … one of the Horde’s most powerful arcane practitioners … seems unlikely; because Liadrin has always been a comfort zone for easy, lazy, writing for Blizz. Mopey Thrall being mopey about his dead parents, also a comfort zone … so even the best possible outcome for Draka … Thrall getting his WC3 Mojo back … seems remote. It honestly feels like Blizz has no clear vision on what they want the Horde Faction to be, beyond the plot device they can pull out once in a while to push the stories they don’t feel they could push with the Alliance.
