Would you rather have had Male Viera or Hrothgar?

Look at the % of people who may male miqo'te or elezen vs those who play roegadyn and you'll have a better picture of what people would prefer.

I play Miqote and would rather have Hrothgar...

Why are people always comparing Wreck-it-Ralph to our glorious lion men?

Because they are the more similar race: bulky buff giants often seen with more fantasy skin palettes. In fact many Roes are changing to Hrot.
All the other races are quite different, only possible similarity with Miqo'te is the feline motif which is a Hrot option but they are completely different actually.

I've always wanted a larger, buff race option, but Roes are fugly as hell and dont have any distinguishing features besides a flat nose. (Galka has tails, why did they strip that away? It's like removing Elezen's ears.)
I'm sure many others feels the same, so why anyone would think we could just make do with Roes and not have anything like Hrothgar always bewildered me.

IDK if it's them just being intentionally obtuse or if people just don't pay attention to the difference in body shape because all they see is big + muscles.
As a Femroe I'm always looking out for anything that's big so it's clear as day to me how different they are. I figured that we'll have to wait for the Benchmark to drive it home for some.

As for the topic, Hrothgar (after I got over the strange reveal vid. You can tell it has crappy lighting likely because it was a rush job and they wanted make it look "cool") actually make me PROUD for the devs and leadership of this game. As a Viera support for years I'd tots stomp out the opposing "beast race" supporters by just pointing out how the devs would never put in the work to model and animate expressions for beast faces or remake so much head gear to work on them. "Oh, Viera are just Humans with animal ears? Welp, that's all you can hope to get ... this aint GW2 or wow."

Hrothgar actually deliver something new to the roster. They fill more than one void in the line up and at the end of the day what's the point of making a new race if not to bring something new that can't be experienced with the current ones?

Can't wait for the benchmark to set mine up.
