As a Dwarf player it pains me to admit they are subpar. The crowns of King and Queen have to go to Fey and Undead.

Undead is just a fun well designed race. The units are thematic and make sense, they all have unique roles on top of that. They aren’t too hard to learn but difficult to master. The upgrade mechanic is a pro-players dream that can make any force your main one in a pinch- a mix of macro on top of micro that allows you to pressure every part of the map.

Fey is perhaps the most advanced race, a lot of small units that rely on a powerful endgame. Those units are quick to produce and fleet of foot. If a Fey player manages to get a central position it's very close to being game over. Without any true weaknesses as an army and plenty of good hero combos it truly is one of the best.

Runner Up: Orcs The Orcs suffer from being the jack in a hand of kings and queens. They have similar qualities to both Fey and Undead- yet less extreme. This makes them able to exploit the weaknesses of specific races but Undead or Fey can do it 'better'. They also need a lot more room to set up which makes them situational.
