Thrall or Sylvanas, 3 of the big 4 of WCIII and all of WOW. The other being Arthas.
They never got close to each other.
Just a random thought.

Considering his role in legion I’m sure he met sylv at least just not in any scene where we saw it.

Why would Illidan have to meet all the leaders? Illidan was never a leader of any race of the Horde or Alliance…
That’s like saying Anduin never met Archimonde… Anduin never met Kil’jaden… Anduin never met Gul’dan… Anduin never met Queen Azshara… etc. Illidan is literally in the same league or lore status as any of these other characters. Many of who never met or crossed paths with many of the various race/faction leaders.
Because those 4 are the most important and popular characters in wow history.

dunno… Gul’dan is pretty popular and always been a crowd favorite, so much that he returned from the dead like Illidan… and Gul’dan hasn’t met a majority of the Horde and Alliance leaders. Same can be said about The Burning Legion and Queen Azshara, both have been highly requested by the community for their return prior to the past few xpacs
Illidan got wrecked by Arthas at the frozen throne in wc3.
Illidan got cocky and lazy, he could have easily one shot him.

If you knew this why did you say he didn’t meet him?
I didnt, i said he didnt meet Thrall or Sylvanas. Which he didnt.
You’re right, my bad I misread that.
illidan was overconfident, arthas got lucky and also empowered by the lich king surrounding him.
Wrecked isnt exactly the word i would pick for this match.
A crushing defeat is still a crushing defeat even if it’s an unfair fight.
How is your opponent being overconfident while you are being empowered by an ally when you are at his location luck? Seems more like Illidan picked a really bad place to engage (maybe not intentionally) or Arthas picked a good one (which isn’t likely because Illidan engaged).

can you imagine… Illidan be like “so, Sylvanas…what did you sacrifice?”
/eyeroll
because the name of that opponent is ILLIDAN…illidan is a very arrogant character, he is very full of himself when speaking of power, while that trait is one of the things that makes him a very interesting and cool character, at the same time is one of the reasons of why he lost that battle when you read the details on the books.
I mean illidan have everything to beat death knight arthas… dk arthas is not above the legion deathlord in terms of power, and we all know that the player character in legion does not match illidan in power.
Illidan lost because he screwed up.
Again, this isn’t luck…
i would call it luck, idk about you but that decisive slash arthas did on illidan is totally illidan arrogance dropping his guard alongside arthas skill+luck at the moment.
Someone who is arrogant underestimating their opponent and the situation they are in and then losing is not luck.
what would you call it arthas decisive strike then? being smart?
Is similar to what saurfang did to malfurion, in a fight saurfang cant do crap vs malfurion, but in that specific drop guard situation even he managed to do serious damage.
I give this example because it doesnt matter how much people love arthas, his death knight (not lich king) form is definetely inferior to illidan demon form in both power and combat.
Attacking someone while they are distracted isn’t luck.
You are right there but everytime a weaker opponent defeats a stronger one it doesn’t mean it is luck. A better example of luck would be a meteor that nobody was aware of just happening to fall on Illidan and only Illidan in the middle of the fight. If there is some party able to see and strategize either beforehand or during then it isn’t luck.
