Didn't the Alliance get a big win last expansion? Now's our time
Alliance victory: we get warfront boss unlocked first. Nuff said

Which side drove those events though? SoO was 100% a Horde story that the Alliance got to tag along with just so we’d have a reason to run the damn raid! (Same as Uldir in BfA, apparently), Undercity and Teldrassil are all because Sylvanas did the “Let’s avoid a fight by hitting them first!”, Theramore got nuked (Horde plan), Wrathgate (Supposedly splinter faction of the Forsaken, so another Horde plan), everything Garrosh-related came from the Horde, so when does the Alliance actually start anything?
It’s not even about tit-for-tat as far as wins and losses go (Although some form of payback for Darnassus is in order), i just want the Alliance to have plans of their own that don’t start with “Well, the Horde did something, let’s react!”
Except the Horde capital didn't get destroyed, we helped you morons from a genocidal old-god corrupted warchief. Also, Teldrassil not a capital? What? No wonder you Horde mongrels couldn't build anything else than mud huts when you've got such intellectual beings like you inside the faction.
"The sword is mightier than the pen, and considerably easier to kill with."
I think the portrayal of the Battle for Lordaeron would have been far better had they showed the Alliance winning via better planning rather than Deus Ex Machina. Have Anduin know that Jaina and Alleria are in the reserve and deploy them when he needs; so when the Blight comes, Jaina is the countermeasure. When the Alliance are funneled in a chokepoint inside the city, Alleria is deployed to instantly grant reinforcements and outnumber the Horde defenders.
Then Sylvanas uses the blight bomb as a last resort, rather than smugly smiling the entire time. So it shows that she ultimately outsmarted the Alliance characters, but they at least try and thought of what they were doing ahead of time, rather than bum rushing in her obvious traps like morons and getting saved by the plot.
At this point even as a Horde player I want the Alliance to be smarter, stronger and more intimidating. There's no fun in fighting an army of idiotic boy scouts who only win when the plot says they do.
Teldrassil was not a capital, it was an entire starting zone with a capital on it (Darnassus).
Think about losing the whole Durotar with Orgrimmar with it.

Horde won the battle of thorns because of their IRBM catapults, the writing on those occasions was just bad.

I wonder WHY Teldrassil though. Sylvanas could have burned down even SW if she wanted to (khmm), why the tree? THAT particular tree? Maybe her target wasn't even the NElves and the hope BS, but the tree itself? I feel like there is some magical thing with the tree, and maybe Sylvanas knows that, or maybe Sylvanas wants to exploit that weakness by killing the tree. Maybe because Azshara? I feel like there is some relation with Azshara there. Even if it's FOR her (with the specuations going around), or AGAINST. I should read Elegy and the other thingie, wich I haven't yet

You know there are two places that show the difference in how Blizzard represents Alliance victories compared to Horde victories, Andorhal and Stonard. At Andorhal when the Horde wins the Alliance loses the flight point and the area is phased to represent such. Doesn't matter if you play Horde or Alliance it's the same. At Stonard the Horde and Alliance get different stories where they both "win" and it's never represented in game. *shrug*
Dude, stop talking out of your ass. The Alliance had the ultimate unconditional victory in Mists when they conquered Orgrimmar and toppled the Warchief. When was the last time the Horde had an unconditional victory? Warcraft 1 with the sacking of Stormwind?
And BfA is looking like another Alliance victory in the end, where the Horde can be happy to lick their wounds and replace another Warchief while the Alliance gloats. So yes, there is a faction that has a reason to complain, but it isn't the Alliance.
You got Lorderon back, you still want more?
So what you want is fan service lore.Fan service lore happened once and I didn't like it at all...
