Allied Races from best to worst in your opinion

Just curious what you guys think. For me it goes.

Vulpera
Mag’har Orcs
Darkiron Dwarf
Zandalari
Mechagnome (unsure about this still but as of now)
Void Elves
Nightborne
Highmountain Tauren (would be higher but not much change from tauren)
Lightforged Draenei
Kultirans

You forgot Kultirans, but them not being able to create a Thin Kultiran like there are in Boralus ruined it for me

Exactly they ruined it with all of them being overweight.

Male Nightborne for lowest. I was so hyped to make one when I heard about them. They look AWFUL compared to how the npcs look in game.

Best probs Vulpera but I’m just a sucker for cute. I dunno their customization options yet. A lot of allied races are lacking in that department.

Highmountain Tauren are pretty neat. But I just think Tauren are rad in general. Just big friends.

And yes I’ll say it. I’m jelly that male void elves get better facial hair than male sindorei. That is so stupid

I think the Alliance races are ok. I love the Darkiron Dwarf. But the Kul tirans are so not good imo.

I think they are the most high quality allied race.

They just need a skinny option.

That’s the problem though…they all look the same.

The skinny ones or the playable models?

Do you mean by unbalanced racial powers or purely by aesthetics?

All furry jokes aside I would like saberon, I am from the 80s I grew up on thundercats and want a wow representation THUNDER THUNDER THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Edit: while wielding thunderfury of course.

I mean right now…the playable ones. They all have the same body like most races but their body seems like strange choice because they all have the same big belly.

Tier 1
Dark Iron
Zandalari

Tier 2
Nightborne
Mag’har

Tier 3
Lightforged
Mechagnomes
Kul Tiran
Highmountain (barely any relevance to the game and just Tauren with antlers)
Vulpera

Tier 4
Void Elves (just a really lame invention)

Despite being Alliance exclusive player (now) this is my order from best to worst

Nightborne
Zandalari
Mechagnomes
Kul Tirans
Mag’har Orcs
Dark Iron Dwarves
Void Elves
Vulpera
Highmountain Tauren
Lightforged Draenei

My definition of a good allied race is that it needs to introduce a formerly exclusive model to the other faction, need to be able to be a class that their “parent race” can’t be (even at the expensive of other classes, Hero classes don’t count) and of course aesthetic.

Nightborne are on top because they bring the NE model to the Horde, can be Warlocks and their aesthetic is FANTASTIC

At the bottom of the heap we have Lightforged Draenei. Their models are too similar to Draenei, there is nothing they can be that normal Draenei can not, and their aesthetic is bleh.

P.S. Vulpera are so low because they aren’t a true allied race, they are a normal new race that has allied race requirements.

Void elves are the only ones I like.

Yea the Kultiran model should have been used as Ogre Allied race, and the skinny Kultiran model as the Pirate theme race which would have made sense.
If the add the Thin Kultiran model in character customization I would subscribe for life :wink:

Strongly agree.

Unpopular opinion, but i think Void elves should have been High elves.

They actually have a good rivalry of culture vs the Blood elves.

Void elves just stole the controversial practices theme from the Blood elves. And their reputation farm is tied to Broken Draenei, which is incredibly weird.
