The most hated Orc of Azeroth enters the Nexus of Heroes of the Storm. Warchief Garrosh is coming!
Stukov has settled into the Nexus and has already caused some funny scenes with his long arm. It’s about time to talk about the next hero of HotS. As the developers announced on Twitter, it will not be a Peon (which some speculated after the “Orgrimmar” teaser), but the former Warchief of the Horde: Garrosh Hellscream.
If you look back at the long history of Warcraft, there are few villains who are truly hated by a large part of the community. Lich King Arthas is popular, Banshee Queen Sylvanas as well, and even Medivh, who caused the whole mess, is highly regarded by the fans.
No Orc is hated as much as Garrosh
But an Orc who simply wanted to be an Orc is hated: Garrosh Hellscream, son of Grommash Hellscream and former Warchief of the Horde.
Since he was the epitome of an angry warrior in World of Warcraft, he will likely take on the role of an Assassin in Heroes of the Storm. However, like Varian before him, he may also be a “multiclass” hero, able to switch between Tank and Assassin through talent choices.
Garrosh was the leader of the Horde during World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and led ruthless conquest campaigns. He used weapons of mass destruction (like the mana bomb in Theramore) against civilians and ultimately “cleansed” the Horde by impaling traitors on the city walls of Orgrimmar. Ultimately, he became completely possessed by the heart of the Old God Y’Shaarj. During his trial, he fled to the alternate Draenor, where he was ultimately killed by Thrall in a duel.
Are you looking forward to Garrosh? Or are you actually so over this Orc?
