6. Dranei

You’ll Love
The nicest thing we can say about the Dranei is that their spaceship crashed on Azeroth after they were forced to flee their home world, and this sort of reminds us of how the Autobots landed on Earth in the Transformers cartoons. They also have some useful racial skills that give you the chance to heal your party members and increase their chance to hit with both spells and melee attacks.

You’ll Hate
Despite the Dranei’s snazzy racial skills, they can’t hold a candle to the Blood elves’ ability to resist magical damage and their chance to drain mana and silence their opponents. But aside from that, we’re deeply saddened by Blizzard’s decision to present the Alliance with this pitiful new race that looks like a shaved Tauren dyed blue.

Everyone knows the Alliance really wanted the Pandaren for their new race. After all, who wouldn’t want to play as one of the sake-sipping, sword-wielding, samurai pandas from Warcraft III? It’s true that the Pandaren didn’t play a huge role in Warcraft III’s plot, but then again, neither did the Dranei. As masters of the art of drunken combat and napping, the Pandaren could’ve easily taken Azeroth by storm by giving the Alliance the cuddly cuteness they covet while providing the Horde with some furry new targets.
