Seeing all these threads about Sylvanas and Saurfang and people defending them both pretty hard got me thinking.
One of the main recurring arguments on the anti-Sylvanas train is along the lines of "would you like to be on the front lines fighting for Sylvanas knowing she could possibly kill you with blight at any second like she did in the Battle for Lordareon"?
Yes, during the Battle for Lordareon Sylvanas ordered her troops to deploy the blight on the field, catching both alliance and horde and she raised all fallen to push the alliance back. The alliance was gaining ground, the horde was losing. Our war machines were destroyed. So lets have a look at these 2 options:
1. Alliance gains ground, all the horde forces on the field die, alliance win (certainly if Jaina would've still come to save the day)
Result: All those horde forces dead and potential alliance victory.
2. Alliance gains grund, deploy blight, kill it all.
Result: Same horde forces dead, alliance dead too, all in the favor of the horde.
Now tell me, what did she do wrong?
