Well, Rhonin is dead now so he'll have to find
someone
else.
*braces for incoming "he got better"*
He'll be reincarnated, having come back from the netherworld and is now approximately 50% more powerful than before. Through the sheer power of his own magic, he reincarnated himself in a new, beautiful, sexy male high elf body, with flowing golden hair and and a chiseled chin. His will from then on be known as: Rhonin Goldhair!
Or just rip-off Lord of the Rings and call him "Rhonin the White"
Seriously though, stop tempting fate, someone at blizz could hear you and actually do what you just said.
Honestly, at this point it would not surprise me.
Guys...off topic question: why does everyone hate Garrosh so much?
Hmm, is that a trick question? No, seriously, is it?
Personally I've always liked him
Meh, people have liked worse things, like Edward and Bella, or Carrot Top.
he put the WAR back in Warchief
If by WAR you mean STUPID, then sure.
He's not underhanded in any way
noooooooo REALLY? so using a nuclear bomb to wipe out a small city isn't overkill to you?
he settled all his fights himself
If by "himself" you mean "bully others into doing all the fighting for him" then sure.
He used Magnataurs on ashenvale, Krakens, Molten Giants, Dark Shaman, Arcane Bombs, he's a disgrace to the orc way of life. True orcs don't rely on proxy creatures to win their battles, they meet their enemies head on. Rather than cower away as garrosh is doing. As of the latest quest, you can add Sha to his arsenal of tactics. Say what you will about Gromm but at least HE had the balls to fight his battles himself, rather than slink away behind some summoned creature.
and in the stonetalon mountains chain quest he proved that he has a sense of honor and compassion too.
Nope, the stonetalon quest chain proved he's a bipolar lunatic. I mean really, chewing out a general for burning a forest, and dropping a nuclear bomb on a settlement where innocent people lived......... only for him to do that but multiplied by 50 on theramoore. Bipolar Lunatic, and a damned Hypocrite. There's a winning combination that is SURE to win the hearts of the fans (that was sarcasm)
I can honestly say he's one of my favorite characters in WoW at the moment.
Meh, you're entitled to your opinion, people have liked way worse than him. I mean really, Med'an actually has some fans. (seriously)

Did they read the comics and fail to understand that he has not only a very bland personality, but is essentially everything? In both classes and pedigree? I mean, no offense to half elves and whatever, but he's an amalgamation of thirds and halves of about four different races.
I wonder if that would make him sterile? I suppose we can only hope.

Nope, they just went "OMG HE CAN DO EVERYTHING, HE'S PERFECT!"

Yeah, I mean it IS
for the greater good
He was basically put on a bus so......
you don't really think he's gonna stay there, do you? I'm far more pessimistic than that. At least there's the consolation that he's never gonna show up in the games. I do have to wonder, with Jaina's recent one-way trip to the land of insanity, what will happen (or likely already has happened) to the new Council of Tirisfal?
It was made partly of horde races. Horde races that likely won't take kindly what she just did.

Whoa, calm down there Rank. He's asking some questions. Not everyone started playing warcraft with orcs and humans.
what? I was just being a little sassy. I did said he's entitled to his opinion didn't I?

He's not underhanded in any way - he settled all his fights himself, and in the stonetalon mountains chain quest he proved that he has a sense of honor and compassion too. Granted, he's a bit set in his ways when it comes to Sylvanas and the new plague, but after what hapenned to Azeroth with the first Plague, can you blame him?
I can honestly say he's one of my favorite characters in WoW at the moment.Because he's a goddamned idiot is why.
STOP RINGING THAT BELL I'M ALREADY HAVING A HARD TIME

I still like Med'an...but that may be because of the fact that he is the son of my two favorite Warcraft characters /shrug

Honestly, I don't totally hate Garrosh.
It's hard to hate a guy that punched a dragon in the face....
For the record, everyone should hear his speech at the opening of Twilight Highlands at least once; it's pretty awesome.

Theramore was a hostile city.
No, Theramoore was actually the one alliance city with more treaties signed with the horde, and even if it had enemy combatants, it also had A CRAP-A-TON of Innocent people in it. Men, women and children who had done absolutely nothing wrong.
Fighting a war is one thing, killing non-combatants is another. Garrosh chewed out Krom'gar because he killed innocent non-combatants. But garrosh did the same by bombing theramoore, which is what makes him a hypocrite.
It would had been different if garrosh had used a nuclear bomb on an alliance military base, such as a fort, a garrison, like how in Ashenvale they conquered the Silverwing Sentinel base and killed everyone in it. That was a military target, and the people in it were fair game. But Taurajo and Theramoore were civilian towns, with non-combatants inside. So the people responsible for attacking these 2 targets don't really deserve any compassion.
He removed the Alliance's influence on Dustwallow Marsh and the Southern Barrens,
and by extension, all of Kalimdor.
Except not.
The alliance still has plenty of sentinels in feralas, Ashenvale, Felwood, Darkshore, and plenty of troops in Stonetalon. Not to mention that Northwatch Hold is still standing, and by extension South Barrens still has plenty of alliance troops on it.
What were you saying of removing them from Kalimdor?
Honestly, I don't totally hate Garrosh.
It's hard to hate a guy that punched a dragon in the face....
For me, its easy to overlook and ignore that awesome fact, because it was preceeded by one of the most idiotic and facepalm-worthy moments he's had in his entire carreer as Warchief, when he more or less condemned his entire fleet to oblivion just to show some military bravado. And for nothing because the alliance managed to get a beach-head on the highlands anyways, so all he did was waste valuable lives, HORDE LIVES, for nothing.
Remind me again why should I feel proud about that?

Well the move was dumb, from a tacticle standpoint, consider this.
You have been in heated war with the Alliance currently, and happen to see their fleet approaching. At this point, you are personnally more than confident that the whole "end of the world thing" will easily be crushed under your boot easily, so you don't have any reason for a truce with the enemy.
Now, you have the element of suprise, and it's entirely possible the Alliance Fleet could have opened fire at any moment and shot the horde out of the sky. So what does Garrosh do? He strikes first and sends his less-vauluable fighters to take the heat off them. (I'm not denying that throwing away your ENTIRE air escort is terrible, but still. Garrosh obviously isn't a military mastermind.)
From Garrosh's point of view, the Twilights Hammer was spewing a lot of hot air. He really didn't have reason to expect a massive army of Dragons out of nowhere.

The place is called the
TWILIGHT
highland, homebase of the
TWILIGHT
hammer, location of the Bastion of
TWILIGHT
, and you tell me there was no reason to believe they have the bulk of the
TWILIGHT
Dragonflight there?
say what?
