===Protoss and Draenei vs [[Eldar]]===
You fucking kidding me? OK, let's compare them.  All three are superpowered races with small numbers, long lifespan, have tech, superior to everything in their setting (save Xel'Naga, Titans and Necrons respectively).  And that's it.  Protoss are tough as adamantium bunkers, can warp in infantry almost instantly any place with an energy field, are fast as a slime, hit like every fucking one of them is armed with a tank cannon or a [[Power Fist]] and tend to move in big unkillable all-destroying deathballs of doom.  The Draenei have a natural affinity for magic of any kind, and tend to use it in all their technology, and are less durable than Protoss and slower than Eldar but faster than the former and tougher than the latter.  The Eldar are fast as hell, can be killed by a mean look, and tend to zoom around in small groups at mind-blowing speed, surgically shooting/cutting down priority targets before retreating to the safety of cover. Culture-wise Protoss are closer to [[Tau]] than to Eldar, with a rigid caste system and hierarchy, and the highly collectivist ideology of the Khala, which is actually almost the same as the Tau's Greater Good. From this perspective Dark Templar are basically the Farsight enclave, who told the Khala and its Ethe... I meant Judicators to fuck off and left to build their new home without that brainwashing <s>pheromones</s> psi-internet bullshit. Oh, wait, the Tau Empire was introduced 3 years after the release of ''StarCraft''... OOPS!  Meanwhile the Draenei also have a few cultural parallels to the Tau as well as Jews (given their history of persecution, clear Exodus parallels highly religious culture and seeking a homeland).

All three also fell out of their golden ages pretty hard, though that's about where the similarities end. The Eldar caused their empire's fall entirely on their own, between all the murder-fucking and general debauchery that was getting out of hand, to such a point that not only did it reduce their species' population to a pitiful fraction of what it once was, but also damned each and every Eldar soul that exists (or has yet to exist) by creating one of the four Chaos Gods responsible for a shit ton of the Grimdark in 40k. Even though the Eldar are fighting against all odds, and making ''some'' progress with the birth of Ynnead, the chance of them actually ever returning to a semblance of their former glory is about as likely as the God-Emperor of Mankind leaping from the Golden Throne and declaring the Imperium of Man a Xenos-inclusive interfaith democracy.  The Protoss are only partially responsible for their fall from power, as the internal strife between the Judicator Caste and Templar Caste didn't exactly help prepare them for when the Zerg invaded their homeworld of Aiur. The surviving Protoss as a whole had to evacuate to Shakuras, where their Dark Templar kin granted them sanctuary (in that kind of arrogant "look at how cool and caring we are ''despite'' you exiling our kind" mindset).  Also unlike the Eldar, the Protoss are notably reclaiming their former glory. Having made buddies with the Dark Templar, Purifiers (sentient Protoss AI), Tal'Darim (to the Protoss the way Dark Eldar are to the Craftworlders), the collective Protoss race took back Aiur and is currently rebuilding a unified homeworld for all Protoss.  The Draenei are somewhere between the two, as their fall was due to some of their race the Titan Sargeras' offer while those who refused him became the Draenei and fled with the help of the Naaru.  Some of these Draenei went on the offensive against the Legion while others fled elsewhere to start a new life.  It also took ages, but now all Draenei are finally on the offensive against the Legion.  Given the demons' devastation of their homeworld Argus, it's unlikely they can reclaim it, but they're determined to make a fresh start.

'''TL;DR''': Each product has an emphasis on quality and world-building (usually), responsible for  both awesome and terrible things. If you really want to know what's what, go look it up yourself from a better source than 1d4chan.
