But why does it seem Blizzard really wants the Draenei to come off as incompetent, pacifist weaklings? I don't recall mention of any Draenei combat prowess (whether it be warriors or mages) in Rise of the Horde. The males appear bigger than orcs, and there was mention of their running speed while on a hunt, but do they really lack any sort of fighting ability? They seem to get cut down by Orcs and Blood Elves with barely any resistance. These are a people with great intellect and longevity, yet they seem wholly incompetent as fighters, repeatedly losing every battle/skirmish they are involved in. Sick of them constantly being attacked and watching them roll over and die like cowards. If Blizzard wants a weakling victim race for the Alliance we have gnomes ready to assume that role; lets give the only beefy Alliance race a backbone for once!
