Blizzard reworks WoW: Forever racials, sparking Horde favoritism row

Blizzard reworked racial abilities for Humans, Dwarves, Tauren, Orcs and Skyborne in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta, saying it prioritized "racial identity." Tauren lost their 1% hit bonus to Humans and Dwarves, which players read as favoritism toward the Alliance.

• Tauren lost 1% hit chance, bonus moved to Humans and Dwarves
• Blizzard says it prioritized "racial identity" over balance
• Reddit players accuse the studio of Alliance favoritism
• WoW: Forever is set to launch early next month
