I don’t know what Blizzard considers untouchable parts of the game, but it would be nice if min/maxing your character didn’t start at “choose your race”.

They nerfed all the advantage win more racials even dumpstered will to survive tothe point it does bsolutely nothing in some cases yet they left shadowmeld, both dwarves racials intact. Those 3 need nerfs for sure.

Make meld not usable in combat. 
Cause stoneform/fireblood to not remove debuffs.

Players shouldn’t have to decide between combat advantages and cosmetic preferences
Combat racials are like getting a damage bonus for wearing Murloc Onesie
I vote either replace combat racials with more QOL/flair racials or delete them altogether.
My Warrior is Zandalari, I don’t think I’ve pressed Regeneration in arena this season

Would be nice if race even mattered outside of the competitive scene
I don’t think it’s unreasonable in an mmorpg for your race of choice to impact your performance.
For the 50th time, please just optimize the options currently available. Don’t gut the strong ones

There’s no way to balance racials
Even if they nerfed Smeld, Human, Gnome, and Dwarves, that’d just leave room for a new meta to emerge
Like Haymaker on RDPS
There’s a really easy way to balance racials
Lot of ways to approach it tbh. Ideally outside of instanced content, you get your race’s default racial. In instanced content there would be a feature that let’s you select a racial from the entire racial pool of options. The ways to implement this are endless–crafting system, achievements/unlockables, trinkets, etc.

Well that’s not balancing racials, that’s making them race irrelevant
If we can pick our own racials, they’re basically extra talents. Which I’m fine with, but that’s kinda convoluted
i like racials personally

Would you like it if Murloc Onesie gave an extra 10% stun resist while Yeti Onesie gave 1% more Gathering speed?

This is another route they could go
Step 1) pick your appearance
Step 2) pick your suite of racial abilities
Although we’d run into similar issues, just with more style.

Make the troll racial that lessens the “duration” of the snare actually diminish the effect of the snare instead.
Because right now does it matter if the snare is 20 seconds or 10 seconds? The racial is useless. Your opponents will continually apply it nonstop with insta abilities. I’d rather have the ability reduce the effect of the snare from 50% down to maybe 25% for example.

Sounds like a git gud thread. But also make racials not scale with trinket bonus (DI dwarf, orc casters, Draenei, idk what else)

They could do something like making all races pick racials from a limited pool
(Like Darkspear can pick Berserking, Shadowmeld, or Regeneration.)
But then you still run into situations where certain races are better because of their flexibility
Like the race with access to Will to Survive, Shadowmeld, and Fireblood just has no bad option
by the way the best racial in game would be evokers, yet they’re the ones yapping smh
meld was pretty much worthless when it couldn’t be used in combat
1 mastery?
I’m pretty sure the murlock onsie is a combat bonus. Correct?
So Regeneratin?
shut up dozer
