It’s funny because Alliance Holy Paladins have been saying this about your class/race (and Blood Elf Rogues) since BfA started.
BE Rogues/DH just straight up make Holy Paladin almost unviable, they have too many answers for Holy’s defensives.
Not that I am defending Blizzard letting stupid stuff go live, but a Blue did say that the racial would be looked at, just not in 8.1.5.
I think they actually want the rest of Alliance to switch to Horde now since they refuse to balance factions they figure this will be the easiest way and then make all of Alliance NPCs and close the faction down from people joining.
“Hey All! Discounted faction changes and here is yet another Horde OP racial. Join the Horde now to have the best racials, no content cut from your faction, and dominate pvp and pve.”

Fair point, possibly, but so does the other guy who responded in regards to BE rogues/DH vs holy paladins.
Racials aren’t going to fix the alliance’s problem that fewer players on that side are interested in high levels of raiding and such it seems. Those that were switched years ago back when racials were indeed more op on the horde side (which is no longer the case), so whats left are those playing the WoW for other reasons.
I’m looking into more troll pvp as well. Any links to zandalari in 3s or high M+ would be appreciated.
Actually it will. It is what started people moving over slowly but surely. It only started to increase more once content was cut from Alliance in the past and the stories are a lot better written for the Horde than the Alliance. It continues to get worse because more and more Alliance are sick of this. Look are your new AR racial? It is yet another Horde OP racial. Trust me, people have already faction changed for it.

Zandalari trolls were meant to be paired with DI dwarves. The two balance each other out and it is not a brokenly op racial. Also yet another? You realize most of the AR racials have favored Alliance right? Not that racials really make that much of a difference these days.
It just got released. Stop whining, it’ll be addressed much like any new thing.
Doesn’t even have to be RBGs or 3s. I was on my KT shaman last night and when this Zandalari paladin started channeling that racial, everyone targetted his pals until he was done. THEN we nuked him down.
By that metric every racial is OP.
ya not like top world guilds would race change for them they are so op or anything…
dont “make that much of a difference these days” at all eh?, lol

Probably get nerfed once race change sales slow down.
Gotta cash in before the balance.

The majority of the playerbase isn’t going for world first. Of course the very top less then 0.5% will go for every advantage. It doesn’t mean make them op. Racials are negligible difference these days. Also if your referring to Method switching to trolls it was for a racial that no one claimed was op ever in WoW till one specific encounter.

Who cares about the regeneration racial? The real problem that makes Zandalari trolls overpowered is just how incredibly awesome they look compared to every other race in the game.
It’s like Vol’jin and Zues merged.

I know I do.
So would I, but it is better than a dead DPS. And honestly, do you really lose that much damage from a DSP over 6 seconds?!? Say they are doing 20k DPS, that accounts for 120k damage over the entire channel. Let’s be honest, a DPS being able to “oh crap” heal themselves in a pinch is a big bonus. You don’t have to use the full 6 seconds, each second is almost on par with the entire duration of Touch of Naruu.
This is so true. Remember guilds switching to goblins in WotLK for their rocket boots? Calling for balance based solely on what the top .01% are doing is a pathetic grasp at credibility

While I agree with most the posts here, yeah… I have to say this:
-
When DK’s were first released, they were OVERWHELMINGLY BROKEN. No one had even heard of the thought of pulling players to you via Death Grip. The entire Runes and Disease mechanic was INSANE and it dominated everything well into Cataclysm. A Blood DK was literally immortal. The Reasoning from Blizzard? It’s a “Hero” Class.
-
When DH’s came out, (not more than 1 expansion ago), They were (still are in my opinion) Incredibly OP. Took the term mobility and burst to a whole new level. It dominated teams in both PvE and PvP and quite frankly made all other tanks laughable.

New Race - Racials. Same thing. I am not saying this is ok, I am saying there is a pattern. We are the true BETA of this game. You’ll see nerfs and adjustments for next Season, until then either ride the wave and use it or start figuring out how to counter it.
Welcome to World of Warcraft.
