Than humans in WoW, due to the presence of more muscles?
With humans being smarter than orcs, and Pandaren being smarter than humans?
Is it ok to admit this?
Based on the fact that an Orc can be a mage or warlock and a Gnome can be a warrior dual wielding great swords, it seems pretty clear that nothing differentiates the races other than racial abilities. Gnomes are as fast and strong as Tauren and Orcs are as smart as Pandaren and Humans.
Probably not. But yes, regular humans wouldn’t stand a chance in fisticuffs with an orc (KT might). And humans have human potential, making them infinitely better at magic than orcs and even elves.

Ok, how about lore wise
I guess I’d just say it’s an interesting but ultimately pointless discussion to have. We can talk all we want about how a human doesn’t stand a chance in a fight against an orc right before we go get roflstomped by a vulpera in platemail with a two-hander.
Yes, even in the movie, Orcs would pommel Humans in a one to one fight. That’s why Lothar told his son never to fight them head on. Don’t try to take them on with brute force. They’re stronger, be smarter.

Humans are well rounded which let them win many wars. After being taught magic, they single handedly ended the Amani Troll threat.
They also defeated the Horde shortly after Blackhand defeated Anduin Lothar. There’s been many occurrences where Humans outright defeated the Orcs but certainly there are factors giving one the edge over the other.

Strong sure, and depending how you’re defining athletic, sure maybe.
Faster I doubt.
You can relate?

Yes, we’re strong and faster in lore and in game.
Don’t have the sheet in front of me, but I believe Orcs are -2 INT.
Orcs, like any other race, have stronger and weaker individuals, some smarter or more stealthy than others too. Not every member of a race are a carbon copy of each other. The character customization for players is limited and might make it look almost that way, but this is like saying they also all have the same personality/beliefs. It’s simply not the case.
Is an Orc typically physically stronger than a human? maybe, but I would expect a typical Tauren or Dwarf to be stronger than either.
Autistic people tend to actually be highly intelligent… Tell me you don’t understand autism without telling me you don’t understand autism

Pretty sure the average orc could just rip the average human in half

Glad to see people calling out the autism comments, but people are sleeping on the OP’s pretty obvious trolling about IRL racial stereotypes.

Honestly I just wanted to say an orc could rip someone in half
I breezed past OPs borderline clever racism
I can imagine in something like a sprinting race, a human and orc would be evenly matched. Though orcs have more muscle, they are significantly heavier. Humans focus more on agility when orcs are more into brute force and sheer strength when training. An orc has the potential to be very athletic but I feel like humans train to focus on athleticism more than orcs do.
I honestly laughed so hard at it, besides, I have heard worse.

Somehow you managed to immediately be worse than OP.
