I think everyone is reading too much into it. The loa whispered her name because she was the best person for the job, end of story. Nothing more, just that's it.
Pretty much this.
There doesn't have to be some story needing to be told as to why Vol'jin, on his death bed, chose Sylvanas to replace him.
I mean, he could have said, "I appoint you Sylvanas to warchief, as I am currently about die." That would have been far less dramatic. So instead we take a major aspect of troll culture and use that as his justification.
If Vol'jin was a follower of the Holy Light he would have said, "Da Holy Light whispered one name: Sylvanas."
If Vol'jin was a shaman he would have said, "Da elements whispered one name: Sylvanas."
If Vol'jin was a warlock he would have said, "Da Dark Titan Sargeras whispered one name: Sylvanas."
Made me laugh as soon as I opened the forum lol thank you
Let us be realistic here; it probably wasn't the Loa, but perhaps something related to the void(ie Old God) which saw one future in which Sylvanas will betray everyone, but she'll end up doing the opposite as they saw just one possible outcome.
It just feels incredibly dumb for Vol'jin to say "I have NEVER trusted you! But the Loa whisper your name so there you go you're warchief bye"
Vol'jin was pretty gullible when it comes to this. If it smells like poop, looks like poop and attracts flies, the best bet is that it is poop, so keep your hands away. Vol'jin couldn't follow up on this simple logic.
It is pretty weak how the entire plot of Legion, consisting of smaller questlines, is based entirely on "visions", "destinies" and "prophecies", starting with Vol'jin, continued with Skovald's daughter, Xe'ra's Illidan fiasco, Alleria's void visions and more. Can characters start using their brains instead.

I see that point.
If one person of devoted absolutely despises another, but the god/spirits/entity they worship and/or is the focal point of their religion comes to them and says you must trust the person you hate, would you not be persuaded?
I mean you could interchange the "loa spirits" with Elune if Vol'jin was a follower of Elune.
Probably will be revealed in the coming expansion or patch.

I kind of agree with this. Blizzaard had to make her more importen, because she got nice pixelsels, and a large fanbase who only cares about her "nice pixelse"
I still stand by, she is a terrible warcheif, she cares Only for her self, and then the forsaken, not the horde. She used chemical weapons on civilians, even if we say enemey civials. She have imprisoned and tortured anyone on her own side that slighly did not agree with her. Koltira Deathweaver
