The accents of WoW

With the ucraine war, many times, and Draeneis doesn’t sound russian xD

Draenei accents are objectively not Indian. Not even close. Literally just listen to the videos already posted here. I’m assuming that those claiming they are just don’t interact with Indians (or non-Europeans in general).

The “norse” accent that the Vrykuls have is also… interesting.

When I hear the Niffen I always think of those old timey gold prospectors in Westerns…
I kinda think that when I see them too!

When I hear the Niffen it makes me think of Goofy.

“Oh hi there partner, gosh, I would just love if you could help out the snails a bit”

lol. No it isn’t.

And yet I could go to my workplace in Inverness and pull 10 guys/gals that sound exactly like IF Dwarves.

It’s a very stereotypical Scottish representation

My mums from Inverness and as someone said, the Scottish accents are a crime against humanity, never mind close to accurate :rofl:

Also, I dont hear Indian at all in the Draenei - Maybe Turkish but I’m sticking with Eastern European.

I think The Count from Seaseme Street is about close to Draenei…

I’m not from Inverness, But I can tell you the Dwarven accent is fine.

I’ve thought they sounded like Venetian traders :thinking:

No. Don’t ruin my favorite race for me with that connection…

I am already not a fan of Symmetra from Overwatch…

The hats certainly seem very Texan.

Im from Glasgow and I can assure you the Dwarf accent is racist
