After all, the Orcs of the New Horde are no longer the bloodthirsty barbarians they were in the First and Second Wars. Even Doomhammer tried to free the Orcs from the influence of demons (and he succeeded in freeing the Horde from the Shadow Council), although under him they still carried out their assigned mission in Azeroth, and after him, Thrall (who he was a mentor to for some time) and Grom managed to finally change the Horde, returning it to its shamanistic traditions and freeing it from the Curse of Blood.

The current Horde of Durotar has actually returned to the culture that the Orcs had before they were corrupted by demons. The Dark Horde and the remaining fel orcs of Outland are the Orcs who still lead their former destructive lifestyle. Under Garrosh, the New Horde, of course, finally quarreled with the Alliance and began to wage war with them again, but the Orcs did not become what they were in the first and second parts. And many do not support Garrosh.
I'm not arguing that the New Horde is not the same as it was in the first Warcrafts, but it is also not the same as it was in the third part and the beginning of WoW. In the first parts, Orcs = evil, humans = good. In the third, this changed, and the boundaries blurred. Now, it is precisely the difference in traditions and worldviews that exists, not as radical as good versus evil, but significant enough to wage war. In the time of the first two Warcrafts, players only needed good and evil (and in the time of the first three Heroes as well, except that in the third, in addition to good and evil, neutrals appeared). The third Warcraft corresponded to the spirit of the time and began to reveal seemingly negative characters from other sides. Now the game is changing in the same way to meet the demands of the current generation of players. The fact that many are unhappy is true, but it is also logical, given the history of the world. It would be strange if the entire people, who had previously lived obediently according to the laws and rules of Thrall, suddenly and cheerfully began to follow the very different laws of Garrosh.

The worst game in the Heroes series in terms of plot is Heroes V, the best is Heroes VI.
To be honest, I haven't finished the campaign in the 6th game yet. But it's hard for me to say what I liked less - the dullness of Isabel or the gatherings of the children of Glory Griffin. Moreover, in both parts, I liked the secondary characters - Godric in the 5th and Kraal and Svetlana in the 6th. Perhaps the 6th game has more heroes that I liked, but I wouldn't say that one is a big difference.
