Look at the example of Draenor. The legion didn't even fully set out on it and still damn near decimated the planet as it was. Cultists drawn to power divided the groups existing there and turned them on each other to consolidate into the force that invaded another world. This feat is still possible among the remnant hordes of demons still out there roaming. Likewise the vacuum left with the departure of the leadership could still be filled by another demon not unlike Mannoroth.
Yeah the legion as it existed before is gone, but that doesn't make what's left harmless
I'm all for the classes having their own story and so on, but things like this, that's the primary motivation on what had been the primary villain for a decade, surely they could have had the Warlock NPC representative mention this in a cutscene, or even just gossip/flavour text when spoken to so we could find out about that. :/
Sargeras isn't taken out in any way, shape or form. The titans temporarily locked him up. The titans couldn't even handle properly locking up the old gods, who all leaked out of their prisons prior to us killing them (or freeing them).
Sargeras will 110% escape, probably during late Shadowlands.

No one was taken down. Demons regenerate in the twisting nether. Everyone "beaten" in Antorus will be back eventually.

Although many people (like they did with Argus, only more so) would complain "but muh high fantasy!", I always thought dealing with the Legion should be two expansions, one that was like 7.0 - 7.2, where we defend Azeroth from and invasion that leaves us devastated.
Then after that, knowing that whether it be tomorrow or millennia from now, the Legion will return, the last of Azeroth takes off on an interdimensional ship (Exodar, Vindicaar, Tempest Keep, whatever) to take the fight to the Legion. But it wouldn't just be Argus, the heroes know they would be swatted like flies.
Instead, the expansion would involve hopping between various worlds throughout the Great Dark and the Twisting Nether. Gathering new races as allies, making quick in-and-out strikes against key Legion strongholds, and collecting various powerful artifacts to use against the Legion.
For variety sake, not every world would be dealing with the Legion threat, some we may be visiting simply to get the natives on our side or to get some super-weapon artifact. And because this would be a vast array of alien worlds, you wouldn't have to deal with an entire expansion of fel-green and black rocks.
Then, for the final patch of the expansion, you would have Argus. But this time being invaded by a combined anti-legion army of Azeroth, Draenor, Ethereals, and a good 5-10 other worlds we've made friends with over the expansion. But from there you can have the conclusion of Argus play out more or less the same, though after 2 expansions of the Legion, it would really end with Sargeras as the final raid boss.

No, in the mythic-mode phase you fight him in the Nether, but he still dies on Draenor for the cinematic. So even if mythic is canon, he died on Draenor.
I honestly felt that the whole Argus section of the xpac was the worst part. Argus was an annoying zone, hard to get around, no flying. The 5-man dungeon was lame. The raid entrance was really oddly placed and annoying to get to.
The raid itself was the worst raid of the xpac, horribly designed where you were bouncing around from portal to portal instead of just progressing through a zone. Random fights like Eonar in the flower garden felt out of place.
The last boss was underwhelming. Suddenly we're fighting with a bunch of random titan ghosts or something against a guy named Argus. Is he the planet? Why do we care? Didn't feel like it had much to do with "legion".
Maybe if you read all the books and watched all the cutscenes and all the little short web movies it made sense somehow, but to me, the casual player who's been on and off since vanilla, it was like "what is this?".
Tichondrius is still around, so is Mal'ganis, Anatheron, Mephistroph, et al. Literally the only two named dreadlords we've actually permanently killed were Balnazzar and Varimthras. All the other high level dreadlords are still alive and well.

Way I see it Sargeras converted himself into that cloudlike form so he could sneak through the portal between Argus and Azeroth while we were busy assaulting Antorus. If you'll look into the skybox of the raid you first see the cloud during the mercenary bomber demon fight, then see it spread around the planet during the Aggramar and Argus fights. On mythic Argus you see cloud Sargeras speak to and empower Argus.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
I don't think we were fighting world-souls in their fullness of their power, no. We fought an avatar of Aggramar, and then we fought the diminished (but still insanely powerful) world-soul of Argus, albeit with the aid of the Pantheon. In the end it also killed us, but Eonar revived us and the other Titans funneled their power into us allowing us to fight the Titan Argus to a standstill so he could be imprisoned as well.

Don't worry, the man is lying, nothing like that happens in the warlock campaign. And I think that he is also wrong, sargeras wasn't in love with azeroth, azeroth is corrupted, so he wanted to just destroy her, only she is so powerful that this time he decided to try something different, he tried to "cure" her so she would be reborn as a dark Titan (not Dark=void). Sargeras was trying to create his own dark pantheon of corrupted titans, he didn't wanted to kill azeroth, he wanted her "cured" from the void and "corrupted" by him
Okay, demons die either in Fel saturated areas, or in places in the Nether or in places that are connected to the Nether. Argus is both the first and third in terms of being a Legion capital. This has been stated on way more than 1 occasion.
So no, they will not come back. Also, I hate not getting jokes.
Wasn't believable in the slightest. The Legion is supposedly infinite demons that have wiped out millions of planets...
Would have been easier to swallow for me if "Argus is the Legion's forward teleportation hub. If we destroy the citadel there, it will take them 10,000 years to travel through deep space back to it before they can start attacking Azeroth again".
We didn't defeat shit, demons will 100% return under some resurrected character
lol it's just a video game plot guys, wake up
Legion is a metaphor for machines of our reality. Machines have already won, we are doomed
Shadowlands is real world
The Maw is China
The Jailer is China government
Sylvanas is Blizz
