I liked the power levels the way they were in TBC, when the Night Elves were really intimidating, and the Burning Legion were an unstoppable force. Archimonde seemed so far above everyone else.
I just can not understand why did you decide that Lei Shen with a part of the soul Aman'Thul is OP and he is on the same level with Archimonde and Kil'Jaeden

The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
In fact, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden wielded such power and mastery over the Arcane, that even Sargeras was fascinated by them, and instantly knew that they would make for fitting generals. This was before the massive Fel boost they got from Satan himself.
It's honestly a travesty that Archimonde was killed in such a cheap way in the last 5 minutes of WoD, and Kil'jaeden hardly played a role in Legion. Such almighty villains deserved more screentime and credit.

But not as much screen time as LK had during WotLK, I felt him overused. Either way, I said it as a guess. But the keepers are powerful, powerful enough to hold an Old God prisoner (not forever though). I'd say we have to take with a grain of salt what happens ingame, because even something canon can seem baffling. E.g. the way Archimonde died when he tried to consume Nordrassil.
Yeah, Archimonde was so powerful that they literally needed Nature itself to rise up against him, and the cost was the very immortality of the Night Elven race. Such was his might that the other leaders didn't even try to fight him, they just hoped that Malfurion's trap would work (and it did, because Archimonde was too arrogant).
Interestingly enough, in the WC3 manual it's mentioned that Archimonde's target was specifically the second Well of Eternity under Nordrassil. By draining it of its power, he hoped to gain the powers of a God and rival Sargeras himself. Who knows how powerful Archimonde would become if he actually suceeded in his goal.

That might be a better display of how weak we were rather than how strong Archimonde is...
but this whole discussion is devolving into people bickering over power level with rather odd reasoning.
Archimonde was also taken out by a couple dozen randos and that put him down PERMANENTLY.
25 people, actually, and they weren't random nobodies, but the greatest heroes of Alliance and Horde and commanders of their respective armies on Draenor. They were also aided by the might of legendary rings and powerhouses like Khadgar, Yrel, and Durotan.
But let's be real, I think anyone agrees that the way Archimonde was handled in WoD was an absolute travesty. He deserved a much better treatment; for example there was literally 0 build-up to his fight.

If you go by your logic feats>statements. Kt is weaker than pre legion gul'dan. Kts biggest feat is summoning Archimonde using knowledge of book medivh and magical energies of the book with ley lines of dalaran and ritual circle specificallt made for that while being ressurected with the powers from sunwell empowering him and taking some time even then.
Pre legion gul'dan had dark portal area prepared by warlocks and magical ley lines there used but he needed nothing else and did it in a moment after ressurecting mannoroth.
