Like I'm not saying Ambessa's poorly-written but 1. Silco's such a peak antagonist 2. Ambessa was so much more vile than he is, I couldn't care less when she died.

I agree.

Yeah, Silco became one of my favorite Anti-villains and during rewatching season 1 i cried when he died (the ONLY time when Arcane made me tear up). Though Ambessa wasn't so great but still very good villain and her final words was still touching.

Overally i could put it like that: Yes, Ambessa is on 8/10 but can you really blame them when Silco is 15/10?
