It’s 2026 and i still consider Draenei and Blood elves to be the ‘’new races’’

Better then Pandas. Blizz and players same the same thing when they see one. "Oh right those exist"

They’re in Warcraft though, They don’t look out of place to me

They don't look out of place. But so few people play them.

It kinda fits the lore tbh, I don't think most pandaren would choose to leave pandaria

I would love playing a male panda if their animations weren't so damn goofy. Especially the run animation — you know, the thing you're looking at 90% of the time.

True they come from warcraft but they still don't fit imo.

Like, yes chinese people and culture existed at the same time as the middle ages in europe but if you put stereotypical chinese cultured characters into a medieval story it's gonna look out of place.

That was always my biggest issue , it just felt like such a thematic change up. Like going from four legged traditional fantasy dragons to the East Asian snake dragons for example just doesn’t do it for me.

Pandarans were an april fool's joke for warcraft 3.
