Why are Argonian Racials so sub-par?

    I read somewhere that racials are still subject to change. I think it was in a Q&A with a dev. I am glad that this has not kept players from choosing argonian. I see lots of argonians when questing and I am playing one myself.

    ...Argonians are the only race that can reach pretty much constant 70%+ critrate through potions.
    Subpar? Where?
    Sanguine's testers, the best testers.
    Alas we are no longer labeled as such.

    They're pretty decent actually.

    Argonian potion buff makes them possibly the strongest racials.

    Do not ever, ever change my swim speed! I like our racials just fine. My 5 Heavy / 2 Light Templar with Quick to Mend + Rapid Mending + The Ritual Mundus stone + Twilight's Embrace set is one hard-to-kill dude.

    I like all the racials, they have a purpose, but when you compare them to racials like the khajiits they seem pretty sub-par. They arent exactly tank stats and they sure arent high enough to help tanking much. 3% more health? 6% more healing recieved? Those stats could be higher and poison and disease damage is mad rare and almost never a factor when your taking damage, so they are kinda worthless. What even deals disease damage? I have not seen one move that does it and there is like 3 moves in archery that does poison and very small amounts of it. The swim speed and potion buff is great though! Love taking potions on my argonian nightblade, its like having a second life.

    I just thought maybe when they add poisons to alchemy the poison resistance might be useful cause those poisons are like anti health potions and are really strong. Thats assuming the values of those poisons stay that strong when we can use them on our weapons though.

    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.
