Has anyone else noticed this?
Void Elves, Nightborne, Lidamorrutu, the list goes on.
And come to think of it, since when does getting exiled from Quel’thalas change the way you pronounce words?
I don’t like this at all.

I think the worgen should be barking and doing awoo sounds when they are in worgen form.
But you know everyone wants their dogs to be so fancy nowadays

It’s because it’s cool, innit?
Obviously they were exiled because of their silly accents, not the other way around.

The worgan actually make sense when you look at an American werewolf in London, Hounds of the Baskerville, and Brotherhood of the wolf. There’s a lot of inspiration there from those movies and gothic lit with them.
Void elves and Legion were released around the same time as bloodborne and there’s a ton of Lovecraft stuff with them so I’ll give that a pass too

Is American… And what Applespice is misconstruing is the Transatlantic Accent.

The "O"s aren’t transatlantic!
Always Worgen saying these things.

Some different accents would be nice. How about some Tauren with a Southern drawl? Extra neighborly Goblins with a Midwest “ope” every now and then?

The only ‘British’ accent is Gilnean. What you’re describing is Transatlantic in origin.

But why?
If we’re going to do accents, they should make sense. Nothing was worse than Mudmug being a Larry the Cable Guy stand-in, right in the middle of a continent of over the top fake FOB Chinese accents.

Faux-British accents are as much of a staple of High Fantasy as old wizards and elven archers at this point, so I can’t say I’m particularly surprised.

I am sure Faux Russian/German and Aussie accents will come in at some point.

Except the Os are not Transatlantic. I am begging you to give the voice lines another listen.
Keep thinking that. It’s a transatlantic accent.
Its a known fact that people listen more closely to a British Accent than an American one. Maybe trying to sus out what is actually being said, also it gives an air of being old, and its just way cooler then using an American accent. 
Sorry your “ackshually”-tier correction flopped. Mind the Os next time.
‘Ackshually’, you need to understand accents before talking about them.
You need to go listen to the voice lines again before chiming in 
You need to learn the difference between a ‘faux British’ and a Transatlantic Accent is.
