Most misused race?

Definitely argonian.
Almost every single argonian you see is a healer, because of first and last racial trait.
Sure extra xp in heal staff is fine but you will get it to 50 before you even reach vet if its your main weapon, just like all racial passives, quite useless.
Last racial trait would make argonian a much beter pve tank then a healer, that passive applies to self, receives more healing ... throw in CP more healing, throw in set more healing and you can get hit by some serious healnumbers ... or im wrong then the tooltip needs to change.

    ZOS realy should do something about racial passives. My favorite races are argonian and nord but i would never play with them as a damage dealer. If ZOS want to stick with lore they could reduce racial passives to %1 or replace them with numerals for example ; @v16 bosmer's Y'ffre's endurance increase stam regen 125 like set bonus values not freakin %21. :#:s

    I ran a poll on the most used races a while back. Almost the entire player base is Dunmer, Breton, or Imperial. Very VERY low numbers for the other races. Passives I'm sure have a lot to do with that.

    Well yes but its not about how many use them its how they are used wrong. Argonians dont make best heal class, the passive only boosts healing received ... so they should be better used as tanks, no?

    Pretty much, yes.
    I main Argonian and it's just sad - don't know why I always do these things to myself.

    I'll take gimmicky racial passives for 500 please, Alex.

    However, I wouldn't called them misused, unless you would call using them at all a misuse, which one might.

    I'm not surprised, as those races seem to mesh well with a stamina or magicka build.

    Just from my own personal experiences (playing on PS4) the races I see are either Altmer, Bosmer, or Breton. I rarely see any Argonians. Even my own race (Orc) is in small numbers.

    I'm pretty sure Altmer, Bosmer, Khajiit and Redguard had pretty strong numbers though...

    Maybe this was from another poll I read?

    But yes, Argonian and Nord are pretty weak races and their numbers reflect this.

    I find the most annoying characters in-game are either Argonians or Khajiit because they're the races the young kids seem to be attracted to. I appreciate there are lots of mature and not annoying people rolling those races, but every time I've encountered a screeching kid in-game, they've been one of those races and there's been lots of them.

    With potion restored 8% and healing received 9% it's more easy manage resources, but you do less then others.

    Yeah 8% extra back on a potion is much better than 21% flat regen...

    Yeah, but you'll never get ZOS to admit that. They just tried to balance the passives and this is what we got stuck with. They refuse to address the racial imbalance in a meaningful way.

    Go all with 3 stats or try to craft utility potions named as "health" potions spend 30 cp on the passive to increase the effectivness of "health " potions , use 30 cp on incrase the healing done and recived, be nightblade and be a crafter in alchemy ; with all this togheder you are on par with the other race and with a single potion you can restore almost 20k health and 12+k magika+stamina.

    All this without jewels gliphs.

    Argonians are great for self healing. I like making builds that just focus on self sustainability. Screw my group. My character is like a mountain, eternal, a beacon of hope amidst what seems to be certain slaughter. Well.. It may be certain slaughter for them but I will remain. So satisfying having 5 fotm builds beating down upon me only for them to give up and walk away, confused. Argonians fo life yo.

    Or for those 2h wielders who do not understand why my health bar doesnt move even after they resorted to WB spamming.
