What we have with Sylvanas and Anduin now is nowhere near though, as contrast between them couldn't be starker. With them on helm, it's like you've put the two most extreme facets directly in forefront, and suddenly we're in what feels like black vs white situation. Even though this is probably intended and part of the story they wanna tell, that's the reason why I feel like both factions would be better off if these two weren't leading. On the other hand, at least with Horde you can kinda assume Sylvanas won't be warchief forever, with Saurfang, who's supposed to be "the heart of the Horde", already jumping up and down in disapproval. Alliance though, due to that comic, seems like it's pretty much stuck with Andy, which unfortunately suggest them staying like this for a looong time.
So, as for the OP, even though I don't mind her, Sylvanas works better in role she was before - token, cloak and dagger, evil teammate, while warchief should be someone else, at this point preferably an orc.
