And they never nerf Alliances races just once in PTR.
When they announce Alliance ARs, the devs are like, isn’t that OP?
Ions like, don’t worry about it. We’ll nerf it into the ground in PTR
And yet they dont see play.
Yep. Expect greater nerfs in the ptr i would say.
The race is unlikely too bring people over.
Because…
Can’t have talented players being drawn away from Blizzard’s pet faction, can we?

Wait when did they say that? Was it on the qna?
What did they say exactly?
You underestimate the amount of tryhards who follow whatever method/limit/whatever big streamer says like bible and follows them at whatever they do even if they clearly have no use for because they are just doing casual heroics
They will just change back after wasting money. Since the gnomes have already been nerfed twice.

Welp on the positive side now that they won’t have broken racials we won’t need to see that abomination anywhere since there would be no reason to be played even by min maxers
Yep. By the time they go live no one will care.
If they make druids as a class option i would make one to rp a transformers parody though. Just to lol.
Then they need to deep-six “merc mode”.
Absolutely no reason to be allowed to work with the opposite faction in pvp but not pve.

I love how all the alliance players are like
“OMG NOOO THEY NERFED IT!”
Uh…they did the same nerfs to the Zandalari troll racials.
I sincerely don’t get why you’re worried, my man.
These are an Alliance Allied Race’s racials. They’re prone to be nerfed into oblivion before launch, if not a week after launch.
We saw Fireblood and Light’s Judgement/Reckoning get heavily nerfed after a short period of the racials being implented.
- Holo Decoys will likely be nerfed to trinket guardian damage which is minor at best.
- Draenei have +400 (or leveled x amount) passive always. Which isn’t remotely OP.
- This will likely be nerfed to a 3-10 minute CD. And likely share CDs with similar class effects.
It won’t be released until 2020 for god sake.

I hope guilds switch back to Alliance, the faction is running out of progression guilds and aren’t even on the top 20 now.

I think people missed all the previous posts…it was nerfed today on ptr already, pretty heavily at that with combat analysis going from 400 main stat to 120, along with previous ptrs nerf of healing cd from 1.5 to 2.5. Blizzard does what blizzard wants. I have little or no care for the mechagnome personally would not of played it either way, but I know some were holding out for its racials to be a pulling point to attract more mythic raiders. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
Why do you care?
You don’t raid or do mythic +.
So you’re one of the reasons the alliance is running out. If you’re not doing content, why would the alliance be competitive?
This is why:

Blizzard needs to take the nerf bat to the mecha-gnome heal racial. Make it require a button press instead of being automatic. You can easily tell it’s going to be grossly overpowered in PVP, especially in cases of flag carriers and AV brawls.
You know it’s going to throw PVP balance out the window with the hologram decoy able to do damage!
It’s been complained over for since rogues got beat to death with the nerf bat after classic that ferals were broken with their bleed damage going up way too high, and warrants required nerfs which were ignored time and time again!
Now you’re throwing in a race with both a turret and an auto-heal! That’s going to ruin the entire balance of PVP in WoW!
You mean like every Horde team in Legion that was stacked with belves & taking turns spamming AT, thereby locking everyone out of every spell school? For nearly the entire game…every game.
That kind of OP?

Silences have diminishing returns. Try having a popular caster spot spammed with druid sun beams to make no cast zones, thus forcing all the hunters to sit there and the casters to sit in the open where they’ll be slaughtered.
Arcane Torrent wasn’t nearly as broken as the complaints claim. And you’d never, and I mean NEVER see that many blood elves work in cohesion to lock out an entire Alliance group. It was a necessary button for early game PVP to create a small window.
1.5 seconds, with diminishing returns. After what? 2-3 Arcane Torrents you were immune? Don’t even try to pitch it as OP when Every Man For Himself was so carelessly broken! For the longest time it didn’t share a cooldown with trinkets, and meant people rerolled or transferred to human for the double trinket!
