    Does anyone else HATE Warchief Sylvanas

    Ok so as the title says. I HATE this change to her character. I really liked Sylvanas when she was plotting behind the scenes and I felt it made her a interesting character. But her as warchief makes me so mad why give Voljin that whole arc in MoP if they were just going to kill him off an expansion later after doing nothing. I really hope the theory of her being behind the whole thing is true : /. but yeah what do you all think I personally hope that voljin comes back somehow or someone else takes over I hate the idea of the forsaken being the front of the horde.

    She didn't do anything as warchief, continuing tradition started by vol'jin. So i don't think there is anything to hate specifically because she is warchief.

    there has been almost zero development of her since taking the mantle of warchief. (other than stormheim) but still it was vague at best.

    Yes there is...but I'm sure the white knights who will defend any atrocity she committed will show up soon enough and defend her.

    Vol'jin is definitely coming back. There are just too many hints.

    But the fact that we change the Warchief every 2 expansions makes it look like a joke.

    It just seems out of character for her considering the way she is/was and it happened so randomly. I love the rest of Legions lore but I feel its such a waste of Voljins character.

    I like her as a character but hate her as a person. At some point she'll have to deal with the consequences of her actions, and it won't be pretty.

    About being Warchief, either she will end up abusing her power or her responsibility will force her to do something she wouldn't do otherwise. It may be a redeeming action or the final crossing of the evil line.

    I would marry her

    The playerbase has been asking for Sylvanas to be warchief since the beginning. Now they got it and the writers have no idea what to do with her.

    Honestly I'm 50/50 on the redemption or crossing the line it will be interesting on how it plays out. I honestly love the idea of her manipulating Vol'jin before he dies to give the mantle to her

    I know WoD was prob like the least popular expansion, but it still existed.

    Also, what do you hate? The title of warchief being applied to her specifically? IIRC, she's been leading the offensives as a warchief would, and yet still doing her own secret thing on the side. How is this not fitting to her character?

    Just some questions

    Just like Volgin, they'll kill her off.

    I must admit I had never considered it before, but it would make for an interesting story if loa Vol'jin had a sort of "dark council" and was the true leader of the horde through sylvanas. Or just him telling sylvanas to revive his body and we get undead- troll- loa warchief.

    Personally, I don't wanna her redeemed. It would ruin the narrative, as she's done too many horrid things. But I don't count that out, since she's very popular and many people will not like her dying a villain. On another forum, I commented how I think she may die after killing other characters (probably Jaina or Genn) to justify her death, or she may die by the hand of a Horde hero, who just got too fed up with her after she crosses the line. Another possibility is that she does something pretty bad but is killed by her own actions. Either way, I don't expect her to be an actual raid boss like Garrosh; such developments could happen in cinematics like Varian's or Vol'jin's during an epic quest chain or some other in-game event.

    I was never deeply enamored of Sylvanas' character before her ascension to Warchief - and so far in Legion she's not done much to change my existing opinion for better or worse. I do like Sylvanas in her role as the "token evil teammate" of the Horde leadership, and I think she makes a good anti-hero (or anti-villain depending on your perspective).

    I hate it. I don't need another woman leader in virtual life, especially not an (un)dead one. Give me some respectful warrior or shaman leader, not a rotten woman.

    I haven't read much lore about Sylvanas, but what I have read, she was very hostile against the blood elf leader, Lor'themar. Basically she had threatend this guy and the blood elves.

    You mean military leader being military leader ? Sure as hell seems out of character.

    He was hostile against a lot of members of the horde. I love the "watch your clever mouth bitch!" scene in silverpine with Garrosh.

    Considering her interest was that of the forsaken i'd say its a little odd having her be warchief considering barely anyone trusts her in the horde. I mean look at Baines face when Voljin makes her warchief.
