Dragons in WoW....never had....different sexes....... well we know what we found here don't we?
If dragons don't have sexes then they wouldn't have consorts......which are used.....for.......breeding....
Someone should also go tell Deathwing he never needed to rape Sinestra in the books cause apparently he could of just laid those eggs himself....

Of course you are which is why you have to change tactics. The fact of the matter is that the new devs can't think of how to properly implement things that make sense and just add in their own fanfic creations not giving a shit if it fits in with the story they create. There are a dozen ways they could have implemented thin Dracthyr and made it make sense in the story but they didn't. They gave one dude free run to implement his childhood fantasy without thinking about how it fit in the story.
Have you seen the new lore for Drakonids? They uplifted Tarasek to create them. Tarasek are much smaller and closer to Dracthyr in size. Deathwing thinks the Tarasek are just pathetic and Drakonids are great just not adaptable enough which is why he creates the Dracthyr. So why on earth would he take a walking tank and devolve it back into a Tarasek with wings?
But yeah keep defending half assed implementations of shit.
You don't change already established aesthetics of a game in the middle of it. You make a new game if you wanna change it up.

There was nothing absurd with the way Lothar killed Blackhand - Blackhand was never that smart (the primary reason Gul'dan chose him as the figurehead to lead the Horde), and despite his enhanced strength both as an orc and from the Fel, he stood no chance against an opponent who was skilled, nimble, and strong even if the said opponent wasn't quite as strong as he was. That's how fights tend to go in real life as well when you pit skill against undisciplined strength.
The argument about muscles equaling strength makes even less sense when you apply it to a fantastical race created by a demigod-like dragon, where their effective strength could just as easily be a product of magical enhancement than any kind of physiological trait. In point of fact, Neltharion didn't seem to care overly about the physique of the dracthyr and was more concerned with their potential to be able to channel all five forms of Aspectral powers. He couldn't care less if they were spindly or swole, as long as they managed that paramount feat - which is why Evokers are the elite of the dracthyr, being able to mostly realize what Neltharion hoped they would. Trying to argue that dracthyr should objectively be musclebound is foolhardy in that light - and while it may be your subjective preference, it by no means harms either the story or the setting that they aren't.

They are doing it since BfA, and like I've said, you still don't have a clue. Did you discover it with DF & Dracthyr announcement? Really? They are chaning it since years now, and they will continue to change it with every new expansion (which will still come), until it doesn't look like old WoW at all (except for the classic races, which are here to stay).
But that's the point...what they're doing is flat-out wrong. You don't change a games aesthetics mid-way, you create a new game. You seem to be bringing up BFA alot. Guess what was added in BFA? Burly human sailors, the Kul'Tirans. Upright Trolls and Orcs, the Zandalari and the Mag'har respectively. Mechagnomes, cyborg gnomes. Moose-Tauren. Draenei with golden tattoos. The only thing added in BFA that isn't buff is Vulpera - the exception to the rule.
It's one of qualities of a perfect soldier, yes. They do have to be great at everything tho. To have an army. Even among Dracthyr there are better and worse weyrns, like the Adamant Vigil, who are elite of already elite race.
Strawman harder.

Named dragons? Easily.
Mass can certainly matter, but the strong implication behind the rhetoric here is that it's all that matters. Both MMA and Boxing carry the implication that fighters will be closely matched in skill, and so mass/size determines their relative ranking in a tightly regimented context. But actual combat isn't tightly regimented, and skill gaps often exist and matter more than size or strength, especially where combatants are armed (with either weaponry or magical abilities in WoW's case).
Because the drakonid were engineered for one job, and the dracthyr for another. With the dracthyr, Neltharion wanted a race that could tap into all five forms of Aspectral power - something the drakonid simply can't do. Perhaps this required a form closer to the tarasek to achieve, perhaps hulking physiology simply wasn't a concern - and, as previously stated, perhaps for dragons physiology doesn't matter at all because their strength is entirely magical in nature and not connected to their physiology in the first place. Trying to apply some kind of real-world comparison here is probably foolhardy on its face because they're an entirely mystical race of beings created by magic for a specific purpose.

Most of those are reworked races anyway, Zandalari Troll is already leaner than the comically muscular Orc, and Kul Tirans are overall just big, not a body builder type. And why would you focus on the player races alone? It's about the whole artstyle, which became much more colorful and "softer" in BfA.
As for it being wrong, that's like, your opinion, man. They are doing it and they don't seem to care that you prefer old aesthetics. What can you do about it? Do you think they'll change their mind just because you're not supporting it?
Everything about it was absurd. He might not have been a genius but cut to a groin is basic move and one he should have known to protect himself from, especially considering enemy's height. Not to mention that it would have not killed him instanteously.
That's how physical strength is displayed in this universe. It doesn't make sense for draconic hybrid to be so weak looking when Tarasek were uplifted to Drakonids. They do harm art style of this game. Like I said, Legacies show that Dracthyr can be bulky. Such options should be in game.

Obviously its not all that matters.
People drop weight so they have a weight/mass advantage.
He has the Dracthyr use the Tarasek as targeting dummies and has always been a more power dude and even as a protodragon was all about strength. If they were made by Alexstraza or Ysera for a different purpose I wouldn't be complaining. And yes they are magical beings which also have a humanoid form nearly identical in size. Why wouldn't he give them a more massive form and a smaller visage form to help cover any weaknesses one might have? Can't cast spells anymore and surrounded? Transform into your big ass dragon form and start eating motherfuckers. Dracthyr can't do that they can't even be properly used as infiltrators since they can't 100% hide all their draconic traits in their visage. Literally the only thing they can do thats "elite" is use the powers from the different flights and isn't that only the evokers and not the race as a whole?
Specifically in regards to MMA and boxing is why I think the thread argument is so dumb. Those are sports. Not real fights. People are arguing for massive meatheads like a UFC fight when a soldier doesn't actually look like. Or need to. I can't wrap my head around it beyond wanting to project fantasy status of giant Bigdick McManhuge. And hiding it behind a lie about realism, bad design and nonsense.
