Random Demon #2356839465834 was actually taken down in patch 7.2, I can’t believe you didn’t notice! That fight was notoriously hard, they had to retune it five times!

I like how the person who seemed to care the most about vengeance for Voljin was…
a Human of the Alliance who Voljin had just met in a peripheral novel…

That thought even extends to the real world, because it certainly wasn’t anyone on cdev who cared. Might as well just officially name him Loa of Hiding Under Rugs and be done with it at this point.

That seems true enough. I really enjoyed Shadows of the Horde. Tyrathan Khort was like the author’s stand in for the franchise.
Literally that author, Stackpole, seemed to care more about Voljin than the Devs.

Every single demon on the Broken Shore is dead.
In that cinematic, you see Vol’jin kill the fel guard that stabbed him before he collapses.

Bringing Dread’s facitious argument into something more productive. Honestly why not, in a future expansion where we deal with the Legion again we can have a boss that was said fel guard. Said Felguard could now be named and was ressurected and promoted by Sargeras.
Boom, a good boss that players can direct their anger on.

There is so much to be annoyed by.
He is a Shadow Hunter from a long line of Shadow Hunters… but that did him no good against the shadows.
The Alliance leader gets a heroic moment where he saves a lot of his people before he sacrifices himself, facing a giant robot and the Legion, alone.
The Horde leader… gets killed by some no name demon while barking out orders, then face plants. Then, his religion is practically depicted as mere ruinous superstition because it leads him to select Sylvanas as his replacement.

we never avenged all the orcs that died in his selfish rebellion
Let me think. On one hand, as I said earlier, Vol’jin already killed the demon that slew him.
On the other hand, your idea is a good one that’d fit the story. I could see that Felguard being resurrected and getting a promotion for killing Vol’jin, then they become a force to be reckoned with. As a DK, I remember that the demon my PC got the Maw of the Damned from was a random minion who took an opportunity and became a demonic champion and scourge (pun not intended) of worlds.
Good idea from you!

If that demon reforms he will be able to boast till the end of time that he killed a warchief of the horde.

Kinda messed up the Alliance got to attack the Horde for misunderstandings at the broken shore when the reality is the horde was fighting and dying for every precious second while the Alliance merely blankly stared at the assembled demon host until the Horde couldn’t hold off the ambush anymore.
What a worthless squad the Alliance formed save Varian.

- if you even went near Gul’dan you were going to be insta killed.(try it) 2) the entire point was to delay him long enough so the Skyfire could finish him off. Hence why the Alliance needed the skies cleared(and we can see the Skyfire just destroying all these names demons) 3) I thought the Horde’s motto was “victory or death”? More like “Run away scared and leave people who trusted you to watch there back”.
You do know if the Horde stayed, both factions would have died out anyway, right? The first Broken Shore invasion was always going to be a loss.
The Skyfire’s impact in the fight was not as important as you suggest it to be.

I think it could still have suceeded. With a huge loss of life for the Horde of course. Look, we have defeated things with worse odds before(see Algalon)
You can literally see it wipe out most of the named demons Gul’dan summoned. Hence why Varian ended up just fighting no name felguards as oppose Jarraxus et al.
The Legion would have just bombarded the Alliance from the cliff, completely uncontested. The entire point of the franchise since Warcraft 3 has always been about the Alliance AND the Horde coming together to defeat a big bad. Neither faction has ever been capable of winning against a villain like the Legion entirely on their own. Also, the circumstances with Algalon are not the same as the Broken Shore.
It did not wipe out most of the named demons he summoned, the cinematic shows it taking down 4 or 5 at most.

Idk the Forsaken sort out the Skyfire with like seven Deathstalkers and a couple of vats of Blight when Genn bushwhacks them with it.
Perhaps they already knew this was a terrible idea based on their own espionage.

Go back, they respawned.
Then the Horde are total idiots if they “knew” it was a bad idea and still went with it.
As I recall my gilnean questing one plague bat dropping bombs could wipe out the forsaken entire plague arsenal, A bunch of flying demons will probably do it in half the time.
