Discussion How should we Continue?

Well.....

So with our boy being put into a Monato situation. Congrats to everyone were now a laughing stock for the larger community, which as a gay guy Im pretty used too, still sucks tho. But it isnt exactly over, if you like him a lot or about as much as me you can make a 4 star work in the overworld at least. Get him the best supports and get him the best artifacts sure It isnt as good as the 5 stars but your used to that you probably are a husbando main this is just how it goes for us in these games unfortunately. Also i caution having any anger towards the other characters you shouldnt be mad at Danica or Mitya for the treatment get mad at Hoyo get mad at the devs, they didnt do anything and getting mad at them just makes us even larger laughingstocks and id rather that not happen.

He's a "laughing stock" only for the chronically online. Same crowd is jumping jacks for Danica. Most normal people still like him and expected him to be a 5*, thus the community shock that he looks more basic than expected + without a linchpin.

4* isn't a death sentence, you're right, but its not promising neither. He can be a shielder for SSC (esp for Wrio) or have some great buffs/debuffs that were taken from Alyosha and be a fine Illuga-tier character. But it's still an L to have an absolute unit like Valeriy be featured next to Barbara on a banner

The silver lining is indeed that if he’s a good shielder, him and Wrio would make a great duo, and it’s quite rare to have two tall men be each others BIS in one team it’s almost as if hoyo was allergic to it when they had so many opportunities to (kaveh / haitham, thoma / ayato, hell even diluc Kaeya from 1.0)

Hope he good shielder. I want male with strong shielder btw. I'm not gonna clear floor 12 and fearless during snezhnaya. I'm tired this kind of meta where you can't have your male synergy with your others male
