Unpopular opinion (I think) about AQ 7.1

Am I the only who found themselves rooting for the shades during this AQ? I'm not quite sure why I feel this way but I really wanted Ronova to survive, and was really bummed when she died. Also, I found myself annoyed with Rhinedottir not retaliating against the Cryo Archon.

I think part of the reason is because I feel like they won this initial battle a little too easy. Logically, it all made sense but I still feel like many things could be done to prevent the result to the point where it made the win feel undeserved and the shades look too stupid, especially with regards to Rhinedottir, which I've been annoyed with the fact that she controls the ruler of life's body for a while, but especially because it tips the scales in favour of the 'good' guys even more, making it feel even more undeserved, but I do also get why thats necessary, otherwise the battle would be basically impossible I guess.

Ultimately, while I could appreciate how great the cut scenes were in Act 4, this point prevented me from fully enjoying it like I usually do.
