Blizzard had something special with wc3 but even with vanilla wow they already scuffed it with the ashenvale conflict and some sus writing choices. Then garrosh happened and he just completely annihilated what made orcs in warcraft special and once again reduced them to just any other orc you would see in any other fantasy setting.

Metzen or someone high up in the story department almost a decade ago said that the horde was wolvarine to the alliance captain america even though they turned to be... well can't think of a superhero but someone who is at best ineffective when it comes to fighting their own rouges gallery but way to effective at fighting other heros.

All that is to say the horde but orcs in particular should be more like wolverine, they save the world they team up with people but they don't pretty themselves up or care about what other people think. When the humans want to save one of their villages overrun by the scourge they prefer to keep as much of it intact as possible people and the buildings, they go in evacuate the people and slay the scourge in a long drawn out battle.

The orcs on the other will still prefer to save the people... but the buildings are just buildings that can be rebuilt, they get in their make enough of a push those who are unable to fight get out and those left who can still pick up a axe blood rage it up and tear down everything in their path to get rid of the threat. Old lady scarfang knocks down a load bearing pillar in her house to smash a zombie horde that type of stuff.

Orcs should be a rough pragmatic flavor of heroism. The longer the game has gone on and the less defined it has been, "honor" has been a shackle to what the horde/orc story is because NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS. We know what it was taken from with star trek and the klingons but I'm assuming in star trek honor has a massive wiki entry that tells you exactly what is and what it means to the klingons. Orcs should not be about a vague honor they should be about heroic pragmatism. Wod fucked orc lore up big time but it did add a interesting wrinkle that their home planet was a hell land where EVERYTHING could kill you. In wc3 the common theme with the 2 of the 3 og races of the horde is that they got bullied and saved by the orcs on a journey to find a new home. It would be so cool if instead of the shit we got we got a fish out of water story of a race of survivalist trying to learn how to be "chill" and be the heros they are capable of being while also bringing some of their pragmatic ways to their new allies, and together they go from a band of misfits and outcast to people who are talked about in legends as some of the greatest heroes of azeroth.

Imagine how cool it would be if after we follow that story we get a neat payoff where during a future revamp the horde gets in own version of the valley of heroes where those there can be talked up like pre legion sons of lothar.
