    Sylvanas has a severe issue about being called out a failure.
    You call her out on her failings and she just flips her sh*t like a monkey on crack.

    Saurfang knew he could not beat an undead banshee spirit thing with a basic axe so he tried to goad her into showing all the horde that she don't give a damn about any of them (goal being to take orgrimmar and unite horde without bloodshed).
    Sylvanas wanted to play with saurfang like a sadistic f*ck but that exactly gave saurfang enough time to hurt her precious feelings and trigger some issues.

    She underestimated saurfangs plan (thinking he was literally just going for a duel) and she underestimated saurfang's attack (both verbal and the twin-sword eye slice).
    The verbal humiliation incensed her and the eye slicing certainly did not help calm her down...

    Saurfang then baited her with the HORDE IS STRONG yell in her face which with the eye slice caused her to reactively start hating on saurfangs precious horde which she obviously despises and can't pretend any more to care about.

    Not only does she flat out say she dont give a fck about horde and considers them useless cannon fodder - but she takes a dump on their culture, tradition and MUH HONOR by saying they are dumb animals and then finishing the "sacred makgora" with what is probably against its rules (shadow magic yamato cannon in makgora probably not legal).

    The whole situation reminds me of the old movie with jack nicholson as army general being prosecuted and tom cruse as the army lawyer (YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH quite/meme).

    Saurfang: I know, but maybe I can trick her into saying something mean about the Horde and they will all abandon her based on that alone.

    Thrall: Ah alright gg


    Blizzard you have the shittiest writers
    Yeah, but monologuing how great she is is kind of her thing. She could have actually won... anything, if she didn't feel the need to flaunt her percieved superiority.

    Alas, she's Sylvanas
    I mean, even she's not smart enough to defeat the bad writers writing her.

    except she was never "trigger happy" before BFA, so it's hardly in character for her.

    either they're preparing some insanely elaborate twist with her, or they just dont get her character

    Except, you know. War Crimes was a thing where she literally went into a killing spree through a forest because Veressa didn't accept living with her

    there's a difference between being triggered by feeling utter betrayal from your own sister, and just going into a blind fury every time you hear the word hope though.

    let's not compare apples to oranges here.

    What if characters were always reasonable? What if they never show any emotions? What if people like you were writters? ...I would be playing WoW, thats for sure.

    You are right. Veressa should've totally abandon her children and let herself get killed by Sylvanas.

    uhm.

    just because vereesa did the right thing doesnt mean sylvanas cant feel betrayed.

    do you know how feelings work?

    what if the writing made sense and Saurfang cleaved her in two with his axe?

    or if te writing made sense and they didn't follow her blindly like a second garrosh?

    or if the writing made sense and she didn't became warchief in the first place?

    He would've lost and died. Then the battle would've played out normally. He knew there was a slim chance of victory. He just felt obligated to take that chance no matter how small it was.

    "What if the writing made sense and what I wanted to happen is what actually happened" isn't really the best way to go about criticism, in my opinion. The problems with the conclusion of the War Campaign are patent and can certainly be discussed, but a cavalcade of "what if's" isn't going to avail anyone much of anything. Hindsight is 20/20 and there's a lot that could've and perhaps even should've been done differently - but sometimes things don't shake out the way you plan them, and sometimes people don't react in the ways we expect them to.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    Im not sure, but maybe it was supposed to make her relatable aka morally gray ? Probably aimed at golden audience.

    Don't think of it as Sylvanas spazzing out. Think of it as Sylvanas quitting a job she no longer needed. She no longer has to spend time and energy pretending to support the Horde's goals. Now that she's finished empowering herself, she's free to do whatever dastardly things she intended to do.

    It makes perfect sense for her to tell the horde to fuck off on the way out the door. It was her way of embarrassing Saurfang and then embarrassing the entire Horde.

    Or you know, she could have refused the challenge cause Saurfang was actually side by side with the Alliance, the guys who were at war with the Horde last week. But she agrees... to make him suffer. Cause he totally wasn't already.

    So whatever, stuff happens and now that Sylvanas hurt their feelings, so what? They forget 15-20 years of fighting each other?

    Sorry, but this looked like some crappy ass ending to some stupid forbidden romance fantasy. The Horde always longed for the Alliance to ask them out, they were just too proud to understand that. Get the fuck out of here...

    I'd be amenable to that reading if Sylvanas did not actually still have something to get out of it and if the Horde were shown inconveniencing her. But this is not the case. She was with a decisive lead over all her enemies. All she needed to do was kill Saurfang with her daggers, then order the battle to commence, the resulting killing would fit with what she says later about how the corpses that litter the streets will also serve 'Death'.

    The steelman I'd put forth if I had any faith in this narrative would be that she noped out deliberately so that the resulting forces could win against N'zoth.
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.
