I had seen you talk about it a bit in a thread or two, I support Ogres one of my favorite things about the Allied Races was recruiting them, for Horde especially I liked the fit of all the AR’s (personally) but it reminded me I like the idea of seeing the races of the Horde playable, like they take part in the wars or trials and should be playable.
Theres a story aspect that even for someone like me who only plays Elves (maybe get a Zandalari and Vulpera in one day) but there’s a story aspect I feel I would benefit from by having Ogres playable, they fit Horde, the playable races arguably get at least some constant screen time though it varies, and I would like to see them more involved which I think would come from having them playable.
It kind of is one of those races that would help complete the Horde, both for fans who want to play as one, and for Horde fans experiencing them in the story where ever that may take us!
I am here to support this, duh. No Horde player in their right mind should EVER vote against getting ogres. They should’ve been implemented before BE’s imo and I wanted them instead of goblins. Was miffed we got gobs before ogs.
You seem to have classes covered. Just from playing WC1 and WC2 and the racials that WoW shamans and locks have I would say that warrior, mage, shaman and warlock are a given.
RACIALS:
Bloodlust - Now, I played WC1 & WC2 and I want the Bloodlust racial with the same, though updated for 3D graphics, animations and sound. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqIVxEpQEms Unfortunately shamans have it so that is out.
Eye of Kilrogg - Can’t get Eye of Kilrogg either as a racial since Warlocks have that skill. But playing your ogre as a warlock makes a lot of sense.
Runes - How about rune traps? In WC2 (?) It says that runes could work on friendly units also but that is not good imo. Should only work on enemies and they can’t see the trap. Maybe have something like the Zandalari Loa racial where we can choose what type of rune we want. Heal, haste, increased damage for friendly or deal damage, slow, stun for enemies. That’s just ideas from WC2. I’ll think of more original ones later.
Good to see you got the Megathread going! Definitely hope to see playable Ogres one day!
The Dire Blood Trolls definitely seem like they could be a good basis model for a female Ogre, and they already have male Ogres in the game…we might have to wait until after Shadowlands but, hopefully we will get playable Ogres!

Playable ogres for Horde
