Please let’s not go back to the Orc meta, where racial abilities should be disabled in PvP according to me, so people can play the class with the aesthetic they prefer. There was this Orc meta and it was terrible! Both the Alliance loses a lot of players and players who play classes that cannot be Orcs, as well as players who don’t like it! I don’t think I will continue playing if there is Orc meta again

They should rework the racial into something else if trinket CC duration resist is going

This (10 char)
Let’s hope so, otherwise the only thing to do will be unsubscribe. Let’s take the warrior as an example, Stormbolt will only have an effect for 2.4 seconds on an orc, assuming he hasn’t been recently stunned, In that case, the global cooldown used to cast Stormbolt will be longer than the time the orc was stunned for

No sir, now we have a lot of race playable, instead before last patch orc was the only option if the class was able to play orc…I don’t want this meta race again
They have finally climbed out of rogues a$$es after 20 years of being god tier, I honestly cant wait for the 22nd, Il actually be able to play my character again. Il accept orcs being the meta class at this point tbh
Yes, I will never swap to orc, only thing I will do is taking a break until they fix it if it stays like this.
I mean, most likely this change is made after 2 years of them hearing us. They’ve been making many good moves but started clowning again.

how are they going to do that, they saw that 90% of ladder paid to change race from orc to dwarf/nelf and piss, now its the best opportunity to grab as much money as possible with change races, and after people do that maybe in a month they nerf orc so ppl have to comeback

Disable racials in rsted pvp. Unrated and open world idc about.
Same races everywhere is so boring.
Isn’t the trinket bonus something that does NOT stack with orc racial? i.e. the orc racial is already being invalidated, I dunno…
You don’t get it. Microsoft is a profit driven company after all. Just like sellung any other type of product or service, this is one too. 20€ per change times few thousand players is a nice small easy income.
You missed the “big news” mate 
They are removing the 15% CC reduction from trinket bonus, and lowering most CC baseline duration instead. Which means, if they don’t nerf orc, it’s orc meta again
Apparently there have already been tweets from Holinka stating that Orc Racial will be reworked, BUT keep that on the downlow, I am waiting for it to be reworked and then see angry FOTM racechangers mald on the forums because they gave bobby money again.

Disabling racials is not a good idea, you will have 1 less flavour in the game. They just must not be overpowered.
For example, Undeads can remove fear and charm effects, balanced.
Night Elves can avoid some spells and stuns if they time their racial usage accurately this is also quite balanced, it requires game knowledge and thought.
Void Elf racial enables you to teleport with some delay, not op but situationally useful depending on how you use it.
Why should such options be taken away? Racials are good as long as they don’t provide crushing advantage.

O s Well, orc’s my favorite so.
Seriously though, I’m positive they’ll rework it and what Odb says below seems to confirm that. Now the question is if they’ll drag their feet or if it’ll be shipped with 10.0.7
10.1 for sure, which is expected around May
100%
10.0.7 will be the meta for the next AWC, they have explicitly said that. They won’t be changing anything so drastic for the tourney.
