Alliance gets M1 Abrams tank

Horde gets go karts.

Who says no?

u/Jigstra 10d ago

horde still wins

u/HopefulAd6154 10d ago edited 10d ago

I dont think Horde can win als long we have madam prestor and Malfurion

1

u/theboyd1986 10d ago

They do if those go karts are ded orky

u/mowtowcow 10d ago

In my experience, Alliance always wins, but maybe I just end up with the right guild and not the overall results of Alliance players?

13

u/byho 10d ago

when i play horde, alliance always wins. when i play alliance, horde always wins. apparently i am so bad that i can singlehandedly sabotage whichever team im on.

2

u/mowtowcow 9d ago

That's just bad luck haha. One player can definitely turn a game into a win, but one player cant turn every game into a loss. It ain't you!

Gonna zugzug all around them with the AT guns mounted in the back.

We'll even have proper air superiority with the elemental leaning Sky Elves.

They'd get IS-7 tanks.

REMOVE ALL RACIALS.

Then replace them with passive and active spells unique to each race!

brilliant! what should we call these new, race specific, passive and active abilities?

Is this the "metaverse" everyone was talking about 6 years ago? I can unlock my Abrams in Battlefield and use it in WoW. All on the Blockchain using NFTs?

Not using NFTs no, but it is stored on a chain made in minecraft.

maybe we can unlock camos for the tank after enough kills

I'm a dad of 300 kids and a husband to 20 wives and in the 20 seconds I get to play per day a bow isn't gonna cut it. Arcane missiles is far from a machine gun. Without cold and heavy steel tanks there is no point in even trying to play the game and it will be dead on arrival...

As soon as one of those tanks breaks down alliance players will be demanding to afk at entrance for the quick loss

Removing racials would take the classic out of classic wow. Being able to form brotherhoods with other races and gain a lighter version of their racial would make more sense. You would also be restricted to the races of your own faction

u/TheNewl0gic 9d ago

I dont agree about removing the racials . People cry too much. Just ignore that and choose ... The game isn't balanced and never will be, and that is ok. " Haa but my racials suck agains race X,Y.. Just play it then.. or DON't.. that ok as well..

as a former tank commander I want to get as far away from seeing that as possible, give me pink pigtail gnomes and tauren, thank you though

-1

u/coochie-slayer420 10d ago

Is photoshop really that hard?

-2

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

Honestly... removing all racials would be great as that would actually balance the game. The reason I say this is because there's only two races in classic with racials that do something while the rest have gimmicks that are functionally useless, like night elves being faster than anyone else... WHEN DEAD 🤣

3

u/Aflyingmongoose 9d ago

The wisp racial is honestly one of the best designs in the game. It's thematic, it's super impactful (+75% speed) and is used frequently, yet has no direct impact on the overall power of the race.

Not that racials effecting player power is a bad thing, but once racials are balanced they often feel a bit flat. Like 2% bonus haste for skyborn... yaaay...

Plainsrunning is objectively OP but even as a non-cow-gamer, im happy for them. It's honestly the sickest racial they've ever added to the game.

1

u/cavespro 9d ago

Gnome escape artist fits

0

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

Well my primary annoyance with racials is they have such a ridiculous degree of Horde favoritism as all the Alliance ones are just... trash. Yes the wisp is thematic which is cool, but everyrhing else serves no real purpose

1

u/Aflyingmongoose 9d ago

I think there's some cool stuff in there. The gnome ability is still decent post nerf, the night elf crit ability is kinda crazy (and probably getting nerfed) and humans get a full trinket.

3

u/supapumped 9d ago

Why stop at just racials... Let's just remove all class abilities as well to truly balance the game! Only white hits and everyone is locked to the same weapon as well.

-1

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

That is exaggerating. The reason I target racials specifically is simply due to the objective fact that Horde racials are completely overpowered while Alliance ones are worthless which causes a massive imbalance and the primary reason the Alliance is functionally extinct. But ok, instead of deleting, what Blizzard should do is nerf one side considerably while buffing the other.

2

u/supapumped 9d ago

if anything, I was underrating the issue... They should just delete the entire game to ensure perfect balance.

1

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

Geez... what are you... five?

2

u/supapumped 9d ago

and a half....

2

u/stolzen1216 9d ago

u/PangolinPleasant98 9d ago

Nonsense ahhh comment

0

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

Is it though? I mean look at the racials, only like... blood fury and berserking are good, hence why everyone really only plays Horde while all other racials are meh or just completely pointless

1

u/ObiWanIsMyDog 9d ago

Human is objectively amazing

0

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

Not really. Shared cooldown makes it just an earlier pvp trinket.

u/ObiWanIsMyDog 9d ago

Not the racial I meant! Their 2% is insane

u/crazysult 9d ago

Literally tens of thousands of ally toons, full cities, full zones. Oh stop being so dramatic

u/PangolinPleasant98 9d ago

How is the gnome active useless?

1

u/FunSizedCupcake 9d ago

Well they nerfed "Expansive Mind" into the ground so... if they intended to balance things so Alliance isn't 100 steps behind Horde, then they would have kept Expansive Mind as it was as well as give them "Eureka!"
