In your opinion what race has the worst armor model when equipped on them.
For me helmets don’t fit on lots of races properly, but Nightborne and Kul Tiran have by far worst leg models in the game. Especially male characters.

Technically it’s probably dracthyr, on account of most armor just not even showing up on them.
Aside from that, I don’t think I could really say. For me it depends more on the armor than the race. Like most cloth armor sucks because it’s essentially just body paint with no real modeling to speak of.
Male panda, worgen, undead.
Honorable mention to dwarf boots.
Tauren, excluding heritage sets & a few other sets, are the worst IMO. Still a cool race
Male Tauren. (I love my Taurens, but man there is a lot of armor we just cant make work because of our shape and horrible neck posture)
Goblin/Gnome (Because Akston is making a list lol)
Edit: but not really Gnome or Goblins.
Forsaken. I dont like anything Ive got on them.
Mechagnomes of course.
Also certain races, like dwarves for example, wearing the robes from WoW’s beginning that was just a skin.
Easily goblins.
Thankfully their issues got fixed for the vulpera. So at least there is one good race with that model.
The armor is fine on goblins. It’s the way they run like their thighs are badly chafed that makes them look silly.
If we’re talking just bodies, the male Pandaren looks very weird, and probably should get a visual update ahead of anyone/anything else. Their dimensions are super wonky, so all models/textures sit on them to a weird aesthetic to me.
On the flipside, what models worked on the Naga didn’t look half bad for the time of implementation.
Male worgen have it rough with helmets, but what really hurts is the way tabards and chestpieces display on them. Because of their forward hunch, the symbol on the tabard gets scrunched and distorted around the chest area.
Dracthyr, no contest.
Even Mechagnomes can wear helmets.
Not wearing armor at all is worse than having it fit weird on you, imo.
At least you can wear it, lol.
Male Worgen have crazy huge shoulders, any head visor is busted through by the dog snout, and the back fur always sticks out.
Panda- everything just gets stretched over them, it’s really unfortunate because they are so adorable otherwise.
Worgen female suffer from the most gigantic shoulderpads that ruin so many otherwise good looks.
Draenei female look stupid in most helms. Boots can be really hit or miss on them as well.
Gnomes and other small races are just too squished to really show off a good mog.
And agree with the guy who said male Tauren. The helms just look so bad
Troll cant even trasmog feet, so yea that has to be up there
There are only a handful of shoulder designs that work on Goblins that don’t look like their are floating off the shoulder by nearly a foot to digging in so deep they clip into the chest and upper arm
I mean, you just had to tempt me.
Goblin.
tauren
there are so many shoulders that float or are slipping off the sides. so many hats that don’t sit right or remove nose bling (blasphemy!). you have to be real creative nowadays to get anything to actually sit correctly (for instance, I found one of the centaur chestpieces with fur around the neck will bridge the shoulder armor gap in the back and make an unusable mog look good!). For female taur, tabards STILL cut through the left leg. Been like that for years…
Runner up, Darkspear trolls.
blizz really needs to have a small team go over ALL the models-- not just the humans-- to make sure the gear fits and doesn’t clip.
