Great News, You Can Finally Lean Against a Wall Like an Edgelord in World of Warcraft

A brand new major patch for World of Warcraft dropped earlier this week, including new dungeons, a new raid, a new delve, lots of new story, a big (gorgeous) new zone, and more. But don't sleep on this patch's best, most important feature: the ability for your character to lean back against a wall and look brooding or nonchalant, just like you've always wished they could.

Okay, but seriously! WoW's latest patch, 11.2, Ghosts of K'aresh, adds a brand new emote to the game: /lean. It does exactly what it sounds like. Your character leans back, either relaxing against whatever wall or support is behind them or, if there's nothing, will just sort of lean in mid-air awkwardly. It's a fairly small addition, but players are already having a lot of fun with it.

One player has shared tier rankings of each race and gender's unique /lean emote, ranging from Blood and Void elves up in S-tier for having perfectly sassy leans, all the way down to D-tier which contains gnome males, draenei females, goblins and dracthyr of both genders, and several more, all of whom apparently have stiff and uninteresting poses. Another player discovered that you can hold in-game toys in your hands in ways that play nicely with the /lean emote, giving your character a casual way to check a compass or sip a beer.
