Only if they had given them to the Horde.
They are basically us, with some shiny tattoos, and some less than stellar racials. Bonus to blacksmithing and able to create a forge? Only if they can make some AWESOME stuff that way.
Nope, plain old forge, nothing fancy there.
Then the go and give the exact same thing to Mechas, but make it BETTER.
“You’re a Forge, a Smelter, you have all profession tools, AND you can open lock boxes!”
…seriously?
How about Reduced Holy Damage? Not much of that incoming, so that’s kind of a bust.
20% bonus XP from demons? Great in Legion content, not so much everywhere else. (Shadowlands is going to be GREAT for leveling one though, can’t deny that).
You blow up and do some damage and healing, WHEN YOU DIE? Great, but I have to be DEAD to use that.
Which leaves us with one useful racial. A Holy Strike. Decent, but not great. Regular Draenei have a heal that can be used on anyone for 20% health. I’d argue OUR racial is better than THEIRS.
We have reduced Shadow damage. Lot more of that around.
An ability that boosts out main stat. Not great, but useful.
And Gemcutting. Lets us get to the good stuff in JC faster (not that JC has had a good run these last few xpacs though, but still better than BLACKSMITHING has had).
Draenei are superior to Lightforged in every way.
Lorewise, Broken could have been better than them as well, because they had to survive with the Legion around and some of them had to deal with Illidan and his earlier nonsense. The mere fact that they survived harsher environments could have provided FAR better racials overall.
I’ll never debate this point.
Blood Elves shot to the top of ALL races before TBC was even closed and have stayed there ever since.
