it wouldn't even have stung as much if horde had gotten something equal. like leper gnomes or something. but instead they got vulpera, a new model. Same skeleton as goblins but still. :\

the only really new things were the wicker creatures and the fish people in nazjatar, that I can think of. there were also some pirates of different races too, including vulpera, kobolds, etc.
It would have been interesting for a race to be a multicultural community so instead of picking male/female you'd pick from a variety. So Pirates: Ogre, Vulpera, skinny human, Kobald, Zanadalari. That would have been amazing.
