genshin hot takes

[little spear]

I don't get why people simp over dottore, he's a terrible person. don't get me wrong I like him as a villain, he has everything a villain has, but he's just a horrible person and i don't know why people actually like him

[dull kraken]

scaramouche is a shit character with a half decent arc

like the balladeer was whiny and his god complex was cringy

the wanderer version of him before he gets his attitude back is by far better

also raiden’s villain to hero arc is awful

like she tried to kill us one day and the next is a curious teen girl in essence

it’s so badly written

[wintry parrot]

no fr tho, like she had the vision hunt decree which costs lives and all of the sudden ppl accept that she’s changed like wut

no fluidity in terms of her archon quests to her story quests

[dull kraken]

mhm

she needed an interlude

desperately

like she messed up so many people

and then you got people hating on nahida for literally no reason

it’s so badly done 😭😭

[short pike]

same, I am very confused with dottore simps, he's so horrible person how can people simp for him?? once with friend we even changed lyrics of ,,last christmas" to ones that mock dottore simps XD

[novel heron]

AGREED

• i don’t like scaramouche :/ or wanderer bcs he still sucks
• dottore is an asshole who deserves to burn
• there’s no point pulling for the meta since its gonna change in like a month or 2 anyway
• not a fan of ganyu’s playstyle

i don’t like pulling for dmg. no point pulling for them just bcs they put out big numbers if i hate their design or character

which is why i regret going for kazuha

thankfully i lost 50/50 lol

[molten condor]

Hot take Kazuha is mad overrated. Like I get that he's good in meta, but he's pretty one dimensional. He's nice and has flowery language. His friend kinda is the main point of his character. dont @ me kazuha simps im sry

[novel heron]

i like his character but he doesn’t stand out to me. he’s okay ig but ehhh

and i regret pulling for him, i should’ve went for yelan instead

[little spear]

I agree, his backstory especially is overrated imo, it's not like he's the only one with a dead friend, and considering some others with dead friends had it much more tragic (ei is a good example) i don't know why people think he's so special compared to others

[dull kraken]

me

[novel heron]

like he may be hot but that does not justify the fact he experiments on children like-

bruh he gave so many children and adults + collei severe ptsd from the years of human experimentation and here people are simping over him 🗿

[quiet gate]

Barbara is the best (if not one of the best) 4* healers

[quiet gate]

Qiqi is actually an average 5* unlike the trashy 5* everyone sees her to be

[novel heron]

yea i don’t think she deserves all the hate she gets, she’s a decent healer

[quiet gate]

yeah

[molten condor]

shes an amazing healer, ig my ptob with her is it doesnt feel like therees anything else

idk

[novel heron]

i used to have qiqi as my main healer on my alt and she did a pretty damn good job keeping my 31k hp nilou alive imo

[novel heron]

eh true and the 50/50 losses ig

[short pike]

I absouletly agree that his backstory isn't oh so special and he may be too overrated, like ngl it's kinda funny how there is no kazuha hate in genshin community (at least it's invisible), althought I actually like kazuha a lot XD

[short pike]

if you need healer she's really good, the thing might be she's only healer (unless you make dps barbara but then it's team for barbara, not barbara for team)

I am not using her bc I prefer when healer can also do smth except healing (except my alt, I need her for nilou)

my 'hot take' is that alhaitham def isn't hot, by both look and personality
he also isn't interesting nor cool

[little spear]

kavslay > midhaitham

[short pike]

EXACTLY
kavslay >>>>>>>>>> midhaitham

[novel heron]

same, which is why im trying to get kokomi bcs she’s pretty and can do dmg ;-;

for now its jean and tbh she’s kinda cracked 💀

[novel heron]

i agree 100%

[icy quail]

Nahida is a mid archon (but she is a lot more helpful than the rest 😭)

and zhongli and raiden's trailers weren't that good

[novel heron]

the second take i agree kinda, i preferred nahida’s demo since it’s currently the only one that convinced me to pull ;-;

[dull kraken]

the only reason i like raidens is because of the frame i use as my profile banner

it’s pretty

not the best trailer though

[novel heron]

im just there for the music lol-

[dull kraken]

fair

oh another hot take: sumeru isn’t that good

like it’s hell to explore and not as fun as inazuma and mondstadt

[stiff heath]

Hot take: Diona, Xinyan, and Yoimiya are great characters if you actually took time into building them. So many people hate them without even giving them good artifacts, leveling up talents, or even give them a good weapon!

[dull kraken]

it sucks all life out of my soul

[dull kraken]

as a proud diona user ily

[stiff heath]

yess love seeing another diona user

[short pike]

absouletly agree, althought diona and yoimiya aren't that under-used? I mean if you compare them to xinyan--

[short pike]

true, my alt jean is underbuilt and still her healing is good

[molten condor]

Zhongli is overrated. His shield is thick, but he's not close to a must have like some people say. His character and design are pretty meh too. I dont care for him at all.

[molten condor]

hes hot??? like bro hes just waring brown

[indigo rapids]

kazuha is such a boring character (for me atleast)

[novel heron]

in meta, i agree. I don’t like aiming bow playstyles (at least tighnari has homing vine arrows) and her burst is boring. but i understand the ganyu mains who actually love ganyu as a character and not for dmg :D

[novel heron]

same ahaha, her playstyle is kinda dry for me ;-;

[molten condor]

klee

[novel heron]

anyone that has aiming involved or any claymore (esp diluc) that isn’t eula lol

[novel heron]

aaa same! he literally hit 63k just now ehe

[swift swan]

I sort of agree with the Xiao one ig

[swift swan]

frickin i agree with this strongly.

he's so bland like a chip without salt and cheese

[short pike]

perhaps some people don't like chips with cheese and don't need salt

[dull kraken]

his eyes are goofy too

it’s funny

the fanart is his only redeeming quality

he’s def the least photogenic archon

[swift swan]

perhaps...

[novel heron]

may i just say if you main a physical character that initially was meant to be an elemental support/dps ily

[ember vine]

I’m gonna get crucified but I don’t get the hype behind kazuha and I think he’s mid 😶

[molten condor]

Hu Tao overrated. I'm sorry but all she does is be a goofy funeral director with some wise words of wisdom sometimes. She has no relevance and her playstyle isnt fun.

[quick grail]

Alhaitham is an un likeable asshole, ayato sucks, baizhu sucks, keqing is incredibly annoying, ningguang sucks

[red grove]

Ganyu’s personality is more boring than a lecture about apples. Her playstyle is fine for me but her voice and personality just annoy me to no end and god forbid Ganyu simps start coming at me saying “you didnt do her story quest 🤓1!1!!1!1!1!1!1!” because i sat through those 3 HOURS damn near falling asleep. Also the “overworked worker” trope is way too overused with Jean, Ganyu, Keqing and others. I dont care if youre overworked, i honestly dont! Its not my duty to be your mother and get you to sleep. I just want to find my sibiling goddamnit.

[novel heron]

you have physical nahida o.O holy shit-

[molten condor]

eye of perception
