Why do you all want to kill Tyrande so much?

She hasn’t commit a genocide.
She hasn’t murdered her own people.
She never gave up on her people.

She was originally quite a low-lyer behind Malfurion, then she looked after the realm while her husband slept. She decided to take a more frontal position recently and when Sylvanas burned her home and people she became enraged.

Think about her in a human form. If someone slaughtered your people, friends, family etc, you’d be angry. Her narrative is human in nature to us, you want to see justice.

Nathanos was Sylvanas’s right hand, for Tyrande to slit his throat is like us delivering the deathblow to Sindragosa and all of Icecrown really to get to the final prize.

I do not understand why you are all going crazy about how you want Tyrande dead. Its almsot like she will die in Shadowlands, shock horror?! It feels like it’s gonna happen. Needlessly. Why? To enrage Malfurion for you all to hate him more in the same concept?

I like Tyrande, she cannot be killed, shes been the quiet one and took a stage. Like Ysera, quiet but fell victim. Tyrande can’t have that happen. I’ll be angry because it feels like the sleeper cells keep getting blown to bits.

I’m a Horde player but seeing Tyrion is it or Tirion? Whatever, he get disenchanted as both Sylvanas a master marksman and Jaina a master mage stood and watched when they could have flicked a nice hit at Gul’Dan.

Tyrande is seeking Vengeance in emotion for her lost people. It’s noble. She should have consequences for acting like this but not death. I swear if she dies to something pathetic or some unnamed apparation I’ll be angry. Again, to be clear I’m a hordie but I do pay close attention to the whole story.

See you’ve got it the other way round with alliance players too! It’s just fun to have a little bit of conflict with the enemy faction like in game. All in good fun. Gets a bit too far sometimes where people need to remember its a game but it’s all quite fun to just be like “oooh we’re gonna kill Tyrande you alliance scum!”

It loses it’s novelty fast when only players have to deal with the redundant constraints while also seeing the writers continuously screw over characters just to keep a decomposed horse standing.

They can’t kill Tyrande, there is noone to replace her amongst Night Elves.

Besides we will see Tyrande-Illidan marriage soon :smirk:

I keep asking myself if for a few cheap dramatic cinematic moments, starting this all stupid conflict, to end up right where we started, was worth it.

Activision Blizzard keeps killing characters over and over and when they ran out of characters they go and pick them up again in the realm of the shadows.

We are now raiding the dead. :unamused:

Cheers.

She cut off supplies on the orcs abruptly, when there where political deals about this, with no reasonable reason and out of brashness, effectively doing worse than a genocide.

The above is summed up as some cultists posed as horde and killed some border guards, let’s cut ties, kill horde and stop supplies from flowing into there.

And yes, a famine is as worse genocide if not even worse, though it can be argued that Sylvannas did worse ( Burning ), but that doesn’t lessen anything from Tyrande’s actions.

21:50, the same reason if not even worse reasons than Sylvannas killed her own people, atleast in Sylvannas’s case the people were actually switching sides.

She actually does give up on her people, in favor of malfurion.

She literally took him away and left to tend to him knowing full well there is a war going on.

Oh, I can also go much more into details of how bad she is but I’ll limit myself to the first three points you pointed out, she’s a horrible character.

What do you mean there’s nobody to replace her? As a leader? You know Malfurian’s not dead, right?

If you met the absolute love of your life would you do everything to prevent them from harm?

That’s all I saw Tyrande doing. We have one life (us mortals) and if you have a loved one you will shield them.

I am in love, I have a person like that and I would do anything I could to help him. I’d never walk away when he is in danger. The same narative translates.

Sylvanas and Tyrande are different. Sylvanas has an ulterior motive always due to her past. Tyrande is protecting. She made choices brashly before yes but for the better. Sylvanas just discards when they no longer fit her needs.

Don’t buy it. It’s another faction rivalry as others have said but this makes no sense.

URGH KILL THE WOMAN WHO IS ANGRY COS WE KILLED HUNDREDS OF HER FRIENDS BY BURNING THEM ALIVE IN THEIR HOMES.

That’s a really bad way to describe it.

She literally ported out, she could’ve just ported him to a healer, and ported back in to help.

Also, what does Sylvannas have to do with Tyrande here?

If someone did X amount of crimes, while someone did X+Y more amount of crimes, it doesn’t mean X is okay because someone else did more horrible things, it doesn’t work that way.

There is a big… BIG difference between a country leader/high priestess/president/king/emperor/etc and a normal human being.

They have a responsibility towards a huge amount of people, while normal people have a responsibility towards a limited amount of people.

The option to save both, is always a viable option, especially in the scenario that happened.

If my house is burning, I wouldn’t just go in, save my most beloved and leave the others to burn because my most beloved is the most important… that is … just wrong.

I’d try my best to save them all.

What she did is the equivalent of entering a war zone, search for her most beloved, take them away to safety, stay besides them while leaving the others to their fate, which could go anywhere from being held captive, enslaved or killed.

P.S : Going by your logic, Sylvannas is doing everything she can to save the things she loves the most, and as such is justified in doing so.

This seems completely unrelated to the post you’re responding to

As a previous alliance main, I liked Tyrande up until Legion with Valshara quests. I hated the joke MALFURION and Tyrande became, they were like :clown_face:

Now, in 8.1 I quite liked the fact that she wanted to get her revenge, finally the Alliance stops bending over and taking it. The Alliance is now on being as aggressive as the Horde after 16 years of content loosing. She was right to disobey that weak (I really, really can’t say king) Anduin who has no balls at all.

In 8.2, I quite disliked hearing that according to Blizzard, she got her revenge, because she didn’t yet. This is why we were promised an extra cinematic in 8.3 when completing Heroic Darkshore warfront, but we didn’t get that neither.

Now that Tyrande kills Nathanos for Teldrasil, I have to say that I don’t want her to die, because I want her to keep following this Vengeance path against Sylvanas.

I would say it’s quite bad to want Tyrande dead, IMHO.

Because she’s a boring old mary sue who has been terribly written.

Sylvanas, too.

At this point, she is comic relief. Some of the dumbest quotes of any fantasy character.

When she dies, she will probably fall in her own sword.

First of all, dislike your derogatory way of saying “bending over and taking it”. You didn’t mean it in such a way I know but yeah… better ways to phrase what you were trying to say.

Secondly, completely agree. I like that it’s looking like a female v female collision instead of that usual man v man rivalry. Or man v demon/ghost/old god.

Two powerful women. Sylvanas was not able to capture Tyrande. That is the premise I think. She easily stole Anduin and the other but Tyrande “neutralised” her attackers.

Plot armour? Maybe? We all moaned when Tyrande got the vengeance incarnate within her becuase she did little, now she’s showing her newfound powers and she’s on a warpath.

Yeah Tyrande is not 100% innocent but she acted in the past in fear of losing her partner. She had a country/realm/kingdom to look after but again, loveof your life, you’d do anything to ensure they’re ok.

If I was to send my Martin to a nurse and be like cool yeah off you go I’ll see you later, yeah nah, couldn’t do it. She has flouted her role as leader to protect her closest and it cost.

Now she seeks revenge for Sylvanas having a hissy fit and literally burning her kingdom. I’d say Tyrande has the upper moral hand here.

Maybe it’s the whole “all bark and no bite” deal? Some people are into impressive displays of power, and Tyrande was considered pathetic when she failed to defeat Nathanos when BfA began. She has a big temper now, but she still continues to take orders from Humans thousands of years younger to her.

I love Tyrande, but I feel sad for her. It feels as if she’s being forcefully bound under the command of Humans. She really should break off and make Night Elves neutral to the Alliance again.

Because Horde like to be spoonfed. The moment the spotlight moves away from them they whine. GOD forbid Blizzard actually spends a minute working on Alliance lore, 2/3 of the Horde playerbase loses their minds.

Tyrande and the Night Elves are, after 15 years of being shat on, finally get a modicum of attention and Hordes can’t stand it. That’s why they want Tyrande dead.

Because from MoP they turned her from a wise leader into a snippy, impatient whiner. It’s just down spiralled from there. When they tried to make her cool she failed miserably. Her character is ruined.
