Wait Fanta...you need to explain why you liked Garrosh.
He was xenophobic and caused huge HUGE problems and was bad for the Horde in general (and the Alliance of course).
What did you like about him?
What Tuhl said. He grew on me. And during this expansion, before he turned xenophobe, he was really fucking scary and awesome. And even when he turned crazy, I still kinda liked him (but was almost convinced to swap to orc). Under Thrall, for instance, the Alliance and others had always felt they were on even footing with the Horde and had no fear or second thoughts about us. Then Garrosh came in, and nobody wanted to fuck with us. Thrall wanted everyone to get along and actually like the Horde whereas Garrosh decided that even if others didn't like us, they damn well feared us. A lot. When you click on him in Orgrimmar, he has one of my favorite lines from all the Horde leaders - "YOU WILL SERVE THE HORDE, OR BE CRUSHED BENEATH IT!"
Don't get me wrong, the guy has problems and I have issues with some of his decisions. Killing Cairne was a big one for me even though I have never been Tauren. But having the Horde be a force to be feared and respected was enough for me to let that issue take the sideline.
