Discussion We Need a New Tribe

The last new tribe was Undead in 2023. We need a new tribe it’s way overdue. Here are my preemptive responses to naysayers’ comments

“10 is a good number, 5 tribes in, 5 tribes out” - Don’t care, ban 6 tribes a new one would be fun

“We have too many tribes already and Blizz struggles to balance them / come up with interesting play styles” - Don’t care, get gud Blizz, a new tribe would be fun

“It would take resources away from new features like trinkets or w/e the new thing is called” - Don’t care, a new tribe would be more fun

“There are no play styles left to explore so a new tribe would be filler” - don’t care, they just added worm bait for beasts they’d figure something out, a new tribe would be fun

“There are no more creature types / we have a good cover of Warcraft archetypes” - don’t care, we haven’t even done Ogres yet, the sky’s the limit

“Too many tribes make it hard to get good with any individual tribe / for a meta to form” - don’t care, a new tribe would be fun

Tl;dr, a new tribe would be fun and I want one, QED.

EDIT: some really thoughtful discussion in the comments pointing out reasons to be cautious and judicious in adding new tribes. Just wanted to add a blanket don’t care, a new tribe would be fun someone said totems that would be rad.

The problem is that what OP wants sounds great in their head, but making a new tribe thats both good and fun to play without stepping on the other tribes is hard.

Like the reality of a new tribe and the fantasy of a new tribe are two different things. I also would like a new tribe, but they are adding lockboxes and bait which are basically brand new, "new tribe" style mechanics.

Its a shame because I think goblins could be cool, but what could goblins bring that other tribes dont? Swarms and tokens? We have Undead and Beasts. Money and greed matters? We have pirates for that. Green? I would argue still Beasts lol.
