Terrible is also too strong of a word in my opinion I should have just stated in the OP they look worse than every other race which is pretty much objective.

Stretched armor is so terrible looking. I’d rather have crappy low rez vanilla gear (that fits) than have nice new HD gear stretched to hell and back to fit on a race it wasn’t made for. The stretching makes it look worse despite being newer.
To be clear I’m not implying vanilla gear doesn’t stretch just as bad (there are some really bad examples since the WoD Models became a thing), just trying to get across how bad stretching looks.
And this is exactly why “fat” races don’t work well. At least not the kind of cartoonish fat that they keep giving the male races.
Pandaren Females and KT Human Females can kinda-sorta get away with some gear. It depends. They’re both fat, but it’s more evenly spread on the body. Meanwhile both races’ men have giant pot bellies sticking out way in front of them.
Which is fine as a concept, but when it comes to armor, it means it has to stretch around that bubble. You can’t just scale up the gear and have that “fix it” like you can to compensate for something like Male Draenei being extra large compared to Male Humans. It’s a different shape entirely.
So it gets stretched. And it looks awful.
Same thing for non-human head shapes. Worgen, Tauren, Pandaren. All have AWFUL helmets because they have to wrap around the whole thing in some way, but the armor isn’t designed to do that. It’s designed to fit on a Human head. I’d rather them just not display full helmets on those races (like how FFXIV disables most helmets for Vierra) than have the hideous monstrosities gear becomes on them.

I came back to BFA as an undead frost mage and I left BFA as a zandalari shaman. It’s my fav race in game

It’s ok for you to say you don’t like them because they’re morbidly obese.
Americans will get offended because their media has brainwashed them to think being fat is ok but this is just a game and you’re entitled to your personal preferences.

feel bad for yourself
Dark irons and mechagnomes are chads
I feel like they made the males just to be shirtless
I mean. That’s not ALL bad but for transmogging that’s annoying
What’s wrong with playmaker?

They are just objectively very niche. I personally enjoy the culture/lore but the character design is god awful in my opinion.
I understand what blizzard was going for here but I think the player base would have much rather had Vrykul.
I really mean no offense but I don’t see the males doing any kind of beast hunting - any half wit creature would see that behemoth from miles away and easily be able to outrun it.

They are only good as DK with the mythic tomb gear set. They look amazing in that.
Everything else, just meh.
No. Just no. Stop that.

reasons why you shouldn’t introduce a race last minute lol. I will always believe the KT were an afterthought to allied races due to the backlash they got from Zandalari trolls and their druid forms.
Kul Tirans? Eww, glad I ain’t one.

I agree with this. Also, females need a LOT more facial options - they all look too angry.
A squirrel cool? I guess…
Yeah, basically anyone under 4 feet tall forfeits their coolness privileges.
Look at how ridiculous (proportionally, not subjectively) that helm looks.
Can’t take KT models seriously.
I’m not stopping anything.
Mechagnomes and Dark irons are the best.
They should be the one running the alliance
i like KT humans, but… my only complaint about them, is that playing a caster feels weird as one of them(atleast as a male one of them, i mean)… their casting animations are just… ‘off’ feeling. atleast, compared to other races.
