So I'm wondering what horde icon will die next?

So far Blizzard have cannibalized the Horde. First it was Thrall leaving, then Vol’jin dying, Saurfang dead and Sylvanas going rogue. Let’s not forget about Cairn Bloodhoof dying also. So it’s anyone’s guess who gets the chop this time around. Meanwhile, Alliance has lost Variyan who wasn’t really there anyway. It’s a very one-sided narrative when you play both factions. I love my Horde but the very allied-centric questing and lore is a bit much. Legion was all about the Alliance, it actually felt like you got all the cut scenes second hand as Horde. Oh I guess in writing this I remember Garrosh also. So the scales are tipped heavily in favour of the Horde losing yet another iconic lore character from Warcraft 3. I wonder who gets it next? So I should list who has gotten the chop-

Cairne Bloodhoof
Garrosh Hellscream
Vol’jin
Thrall
Sylvanas
Saurfang

Running out of characters to kill there Blizzard, running out of narratives to play the whole ‘death of Superman’ formula on. Upon playing Alliance for the first time, I realize just how one-sided this whole thing is. Before you comment, realize that I have just on 1600 days /played as Horde. Yes, that much.

EDIT: It becomes apparent that the Alliance need not even fight the Horde, Blizzard is doing a fine job of killing all the leaders of the Horde off. In 3 or 4 more expansions we should see most of the lore characters gone. Point being, the Alliance is winning because of favoritism from Blizzard themselves.

The Alliance don’t have to have their characters killed off because the villain bat always swings Horde.

I heard a rumor that in Shadowlands Blizzard GM’s will randomly pop into mythic raid runs and delete, I mean kill, off random Horde players due to the lack of leadership they can axe.

Who is left that we like? They seem to get rid of leaders that are well liked.

I am going to guess Rokhan. He seems like a sturdy troll. He will probably trip over a dead murloc and impale himself on his own spear.

Honestly I think the Horde will lose a certain side-kick of Sylvanas. It’s pretty obvious and considering how one-dimensional the writing is, you could place money on it.

Let’s carve up Baine for a good feast.

When you casually just ignore Nazgrim.

I’m hoping Baine dies next personally. Make the Tauren the blood thirsty minotaurs they’ve always wanted to be.

How utterly predictable. (In Nathanos’ voice)
God, it’s almost like the writers are using an algorithm to come up with narratives.

They won’t kill Baine because he is the worst Horde leader we have…

Talanji will be dead soon because she is so cool.

I do hope that we don’t lose any Horde leaders in Shadowlands except Baine of course.

I can’t see them killing him because if this forum is an accurate sampling, very few people like him.

True! I did forget about Saurfang’s son. Geez, it really is pretty awful.

Well The Horde is a collection of races near extinction.

Don’t know why you wanna start world wars all the time. You always lose them.

Tyranda will probably kill one of the leaders. Likely Baine or Thrall, thus reigniting the war to start the cycle over again.

Can’t say I have every seen that before. Almost afraid to ask.

I’d rather die a glorious death, we’ve seen what happens when lightbois keep the peace on Alternate Draenor.
