Worst race model in the game

Male Worgen. Literally a race that has potential to be the coolest Alliance race is rendered the worst race model in the game due to a few critical, but fixable, errors.

  1. Male Worgen need to stand upright, like their female counterparts.
  2. Casting animations need to be reworked. Male Worgen look like they’re belly dancing when casting. Unacceptable.
  3. *wishful thinking, but how about the human form toggle is an ability players can select on demand. In other words, not automatic when entering combat. Give us a little 2 for 1 to pay back all of us, which I suspect are many, that paid to change races away from male Worgen.

Thanks.

Dracthyr are right there with their “Tralalala” run animation

Gnomes

This isn’t even a debate. They are hands down the worst race in the game. I didn’t mention mechagnomes because unlike regular gnomes they have some style

What’s wrong with gnomes? I get they’re a very hatable race, but that’s kind of by design. Male Worgen suffer from a design defect.

Mechagnomes are the werst.

The only armor they look good in are robes.

For me, male goblin is the worst, with male gnome a close second. Dracthyr are pretty bad, too.

Whats your beef with male goblins? Does it extend to vulpera? Theyre the same model, right?

Probably Nightborne. Specially the males, who just look weird. But the females also have this bizarre neck-craning posture that just sort of ruins them for me.

Their glowing hands option looks more like doughnut glaze and their false pharoah beards are a strange asthetic choice, too.

As an awesome looking Worgen male, I disagree with this topic. Also, I paid to race change from boring human. My druid, warlock, and warrior also disagree with the assessment. Male night elves are clearly the worst.

Edit: I forgot I also have a male worgen monk that is also awesome.

Male Night Elves look like absolute dorks

Male night elves are pretty bad, gnomes are terrible but that’s a gnome thing and not a blizzard design thing, the hands and feet make goblins look ridiculous, kul tiran are pretty bad on both fronts, but yeah dracthyr and worgen are both pretty high up there.

Male Night Elves could use a tweak to hands and waist proportions but otherwise are not bad. Kul Tiran are fine.

At least give male Worgen the option to stand upright.

Nightborne or whatever the Horde Night Elves are called the males look so bad in my opinion

Male Draenei. Man I can’t stand them. Their animation is terrible especially a hunter using guns/crossbows. I like worgens i like they are hunched over a bit. I mean there a wolf man.

Short, skinny things with clown hands and feet. Lousy customization. Terrible clipping. Male worgen at least look cool (until you actually try to move/cast).

they are ok. one of my mages is a gnome. the only thing i hate about gnomes that should of been fixed a long long while ago is that the few dungeon and raid encounters that have water, gnomes have to swim and all other classes can run through just fine.

I agree, but not for the reasons you listed.

They lost their loping run animation, which is a travesty to this race. Their shoulders swing insanely dramatically. They could take down an entire football team with those shoulders. Their feet look ridiculous now with the remodel. And they moved more in the direction of cartoon doggo than ferocious lycan.

The worst currently used race model is the Pandaren race model, for both males and females. I am aware that they are newer, so they didn’t receive an update along with the rest of the core races during WoD, but MoP was nearly 13 years ago.

i could be like everyone else and say the obvious mechagnomes, but thats a dead horse at this point, so i’ll go with the runnerup, dracthyr visage form. it doesnt matter if they have a massive list of options if they all look terrible.
