Alliance needs a slam dunk Allied Race

As for the vulpera vs mechagnome mess., just release any of the 2 fish people vs gilgoblin and its done. A new race using a existing model vs a recolour of a unpopular race.

If you going to make suggestions, then better stick to the given pairings as well:

Jinyu - Hozen
Ankoan - Gilgoblins
You cannot split them apart due their linked nature and will be released together - if they ever are going to become playable.

If you want to give the Alliance a kickass race, then it needs to be something differently.
Dryads - Leapergnomes would perhaps work.

Pretty races, buffed racials, and a 25% War Mode buff don’t change the fact that there is frequently just 0 Raid, Arena, RBG, or M+ listings through the premade finder and other in-game communities. Who wants to play on a faction if they’re just going to be alone most of the time, or if playing that faction just means you’re choosing to make the game noticeably harder for yourself?

@Caithyra-stormrage

20% blood elf = horde

you say this and then just just below you an alliance player posts who clears mythic 20+ and is 10/10 mythic SoD

so clearly youre being subjective and the alliance players that want to do that content CAN

impressive caithyra btw!

Have no clue what you’re talking about.

[Magnificent-wyrmrest-accord]

thats ok. i was really just using you as proof to the people who claim alliance is dead pve/pvp wise and that if they really wanted to do that content they can

[Caithyra-stormrage]

Dead doesn’t mean there isn’t people playing that faction. There’s 5 times more horde guilds with CE than alliance. And a lot of people I know from my previous guilds + friends list switched to horde.

Nightborne being high is surprising though. They were pretty low for awhile but maybe removing the unlock restrictions helped with their popularity growth.

Cosmetic upgrade helped.

And their racials can of use. been taking my new one on illidan into pvp and one more aoe is never bad thing. Not omg crushing uber…but it is another button to press lol. I may go down…but I go down fighting lol.

also for me as mine is a hunter…they are kind of viewed as the NIght elves on horde side. I do love the night elf bow animations. and NB gets me that on horde side.

edit: she adds to the NB collection. I have a warlock one too on wra.

Well i was ready to give them both as a toggle option vs gilgoblin but if you insist that much i won’t say no to hozen. They might be my personal most wanted race but i gave up on them long ago when i realise how unlikely they are to happen do to how messy their animation would be.

+10 point if you also give us the tall monky king model. I want a tall monky monk since i got the monkey king champion as a monk in legion.

As shown earlier, the void elf are already pretty much the kickass race since they are the most popular by far.

@Blastkrizzle-moon-guard

Leapergnomes would perhaps work.

Well if you insist. I won’t say know to leapergnome as a gnome allied race.

Dark irons are so underrated. This is the first race in the alliance to directly defy orders during war and face zero repercussions because no one is trying to start that drama. During the siege of dazar’alor king anduin have specific orders to spare civilians unless they were a direct threat. And while the alliance from the south followed those orders the dark irons mole machined into the zocalo and said screw that kill every troll you see! They unleashed fire elementals, the light via paladins, shamans, everything on those shopkeepers trying to defend themselves with rolling pins before the Horde showed up.
