I just wanna be able to tell ppl "Naga please"
Naga are just awesome. That's why I want it to be a playable race. I loved them in Warcraft III (when I first started really getting into the franchise). They have always been part of the game since vanilla. They slither around. Just tons of awesomesauce imho.
Yeah, armor and mounts would be a challenge. But not a tough one. Plenty of solutions for those.
Playable naga could be fine like:
-Aquatic form equivalent racial
-Slither for their ground mount, water bubble summon for their flying mount
-*Tail Sweep* AoE 70% snare 10yd range on a 1m CD
-have armor not display on their tails, just like you dont have it display on troll feet, no big deal
Also they are one of the oldest races with a lot of history and lore.They are numerous enough to become a playable race even if it was a splinter faction.They have naga babies that grew up as naga and may not hate the elves or anyone else with the same passion as the naga that actually participated in the war 10k years ago.
The young naga may somehow realize that all that they've been told about the land dwellers is not entirely true and they are not the real enemy.
Because some people like different things than you.
In last Q&A Blizzard said naga COULD be a playble race some day.If they say so people should rly stop coming up with reasons how that would never happen.
