Blizzard has destroyed everything the Night Elves stood for


In Legion they lost Ysera, "mother" of Cenarius, Queen of the Emerald Dream. A highly revered figure in the Kaldorei society.Then in BfA, they pathetically lost an unprovoked war, despite being universally known to be savage fighters, exceptional archers, one with the nature, and on home turf. Oh and did I mention very good at stealth, especially during night, where it's canonically almost impossible to see them? Not to mention, they're a civilization that has fought during many previous wars, and are lead by the most powerful Druid and Priestess of all time? But all that Druid did was hold back against one undead chick with a bow, eat an axe in the back, and entangle a random Orc in living roots. And the most powerful Priestess to live did absolutely NOTHING during the war either.Then, they have their World Tree burnt down by the Horde. Horde, who had an uprising against a similar tyrant who did a similar thing, not too long ago. How did they burn a giant tree that is half submerged in salt water and is a size of a whole country? Why, they used regular ass catapults to do it! Azerite-powered or not, those bad boys fired off 1-2m large flaming projectiles, across a whole ocean, at a country sized tree, whose roots are submerged in water! And that tree burned down in minutes! Even if they lined up the entirety of Darkshore's beaches with catapults, I find that hard to believe, but alright, we needed a conflict and we got one.Now you see, Tyrande is very angry with all this, despite never being shown participating in the war. She conducts a super duper dangerous ritual to become imbued with Elune's power, to act as a conduit for her goddess' wrath and seek vengeance for the death of her children. Great. What does Tyrande proceed to do with it?Freezes the enemy armies and Commanders in place instead of obliterating themFails to prevent her people being raised into undeathLoses to an Undead Guy With a BowWhen fighting the last two of Sylvanas' valkyr who are covering Undead Guy's escape, she manages to kill JUST ONE.Is nowhere to be found during the Siege of Orgrimmar 2.0 and the Sylvanas VS Saurfang duelIs treated like she's insane and a warmonger by literally everyone else in the Alliance for wanting revenge and refusing to sign a peace treaty. Even by her own daughter.Finally kills Undead Guy With a Bow, after he was already warn out by fighting the players and after he essentially gives up and lets her kill him.Jumps into Shadowlands head-first to pursue Sylvanas, only to end up in Thorgast and having to be rescued by the player.Finds out that this super duper cool Night Warrior thing isn't really "Elune's Wrath" thing but just a neat powerup that even some random ass alien people ended up receiving a couple of times.Is repeatedly told that she's becoming too insane, that she's losing herself and "being torn apart by the goddess' power", lolOneshots irrelevant Maw mob and proceeds to 1v1 Sylvanas, where she uses her GIANT ASS GLAIVES to just give Sylvie a little push. She then manages to become airborne for like 8 seconds, and just before she can land a killing blow, has her powers taken away by the same goddess that granted them in first place, with the literal purpose and goal of vengeance. Which is done so she conveniently isn't present in the Sunctum where we fight Sylvanas.Then we learn that the Winterqueen, a character never previously mentioned nor hinted at, and who has little purpose but to have a cool model and be a leader of a covenant (read: in-game system) that will be irrelevant next expansion, is Elune's sister! Wow!What did she do to help the Kaldorei, children of her sister? Nothing (besides "rezzing" Ysera)! Worst aunt ever.And now, with Tyrande conveniently absent from the raid, we got a lovely chance to see her get possessed by Elune to do what? Stop the Jailer? Curbstomp Sylvanas? Snap Thorgast in two like an overly complex toothpick? No! To have a chat with her Cool Character Model NPC Sister! And the conversation basically boils down to the Sister going "waaa you abandoned me" and Elune saying that she didn't, she sent all those burned, crisp Night Elves her way, right? Aka Elune admitting that she intentionally didn't save her OWN "CHILDREN" so the Winterqueen can have their souls, to which the Sister reveals that "oh, well, they all kinda ended up in the Maw", aka Warcraft's version of literal Hell. And Elune has that funny haha moment of "oh whoops I failed my children, whoopsies!" YOU'RE TELLING ME GODS CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER?? That they have no god phone or whatever?????Then at the end, Tyrande is for some reason forced to choose between "vengeance or renewal" and is of course guilt tripped into Renewal because hurrrre durrr "Vengeance is baaaaaad and makes you as evil as the aggressor".​And out of all of that, we have Tear of Elune 2. Wow. Beautiful. Groundbreaking. A fancy blue paperweight that will be irrelevant in the next expansion.​*TLDR*; Everything that defined Night Elves as a race in lore- their territories, their skills and prowess, their leaders, and now their *goddess*, has been utterly destroyed by forced, nonsensical and outright stupid writing, that it's become bloody humiliating to even compare current Night Elves to the ones from the old Warcraft lore.
