Still dont get why Sylvanis was made warchief tho

[Romire]

Can someone explain the reasoning behind the choice behind voljins snap choice to make her warcheif anyways?

[CrossNgen]

Voljin listened to his stupid gods

AKA Blizzard

Da voodoo mon.

[Doomislav]

The "spirits" told voljin to choose sylvanas.

personally I thing saurfang should be warchief.

[Spunt]

Well, she is the most qualified. She was the Ranger-General of the High Elf forces (the highest military position) and is far older than any of the other leaders, except maybe Lor'themar, who has been around as long as her.

Who would you have picked that is more experienced and better qualified?

[Struggle]

Who would you have picked that is more experienced and better qualified?

How about Lor'themar...?

[Deleted]

Someone on reddit put forward a theory that Vol'jin made her warchief because he doesn't trust her. If Sylvanas is warchief, she can no longer do shady stuff behind the scenes, because now everyone has their eyes on her.

[Archmage Khadgar]

How about Lor'themar...?

Pretty sure he's not more experienced than Sylvanas.

I would love him as warchief though.

[remoraid]

I created an account to quote Vol'jin himself:

"Some will not understand"

And I think that's all the reason we're gonna get for now. But I agree with Crysthalica to a T.

That would make perfect sense then!

It would force the forsaken to stop with the Chemical warfare stuff

Desperate times call for desperate measures. She's not trustworthy but she is by far the most powerful and capable leader. There are no other options anyway. Thrall doesn't want to be Warchief anymore, Saurfang never seemed interested either. Baine is too young and inexperienced. Lor'themar tried to switch over to the Alliance during Mists of Pandaria, if Sylvanas can't be trusted than he is in an even worse position. The Legion's invasion is not the time to take a chance on a newbie, you go with the tactical powerhouse.

[Spunt]

How about Lor'themar...?

Sylvanas still held a higher position than him, even back when she was just a ranger-general. So, no, technically speaking, he isn't actually more experienced or better qualified than her.

It could just be the deceiver. Don't know what reason kil'jaeden would have to put the most capable military commander in charge, but seems like something a warcraft villain would do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I laughed too hard at this.

He picked her, because she got the horde out of there before she was overrun by demons. Although they could take the story anyway. Leave it as what it seems or turn it into Kil'jaeden was manipulating Vol'jin

[Deleted]

Well, being a Ranger General she is far more experienced than any other Horde leader. It actually makes me wonder why NE characters like Shandris don't have a more prominent role in Legion.

[Gaidax]

Dreadlords whispered to do it.

[Kryn]

Spirits make the greatest advisors for picking Warchiefs. I mean why should Vol'jin have picked Saurfang himself when the Spirits are there.

[Lunaprika]

Well, it was explained pretty well: DA SPIRITS MON
