#Warcraft Hot take:
Mists of Pandaria deconstructed the faction war & showed why a faction war storyline is stupid.
It was then proceeded by Legion (with a faction war zone) and BfA, which was entirely about a faction war.
Its like they forgot their own point they made in MoP

Honestly, Stormheim to me felt more like a Sylvanas vs. Genn conflict instead of a Horde vs. Alliance one. Which was a reason I disliked it, I wanted them to prove to me that Sylvanas would be a good, or at least the right warchief at the time, not have her do her usual stuff.
You hear her dialogue about the Forsaken withering and it makes you somewhat feel for her. Then you see the cinematic and you're like, "Alright that's pretty evil looking." Now adays its not hard to argue how bad she is but back then it was harder to realize, at least for me.
