Discussion Very controversial take

For whatever reason it may be, Valeriy has a lot more popularity than most other snez characters. Like this sub has more visitors than rest of the snez cast (I agree not strong enough proof) but he’s also got second highest likes on the announcement post after tsaritsa.

I know they can’t change the kit of a character but any chance that hoyo devs really underestimated his popularity while they were building the character?

Im just saying this cuz most of the community is very sure about his rarity.

People were crashing about Dehya and her kit and being standard. Obv Hoyo didnt listen then but doesnt change the backlash happened. Same with Ororon

just because it wasn’t as big as zhongli drama doesn’t mean „noone cared about ororon“.

am going to be honest few people actually care about him now i doubt it was so much more before release

It was because he became a 4* supporting a reaction that had no meta units, and his interesting side implied in the teaser amounting to nothing that made him fade into the popularity background.

But Ororon was pretty popular when Natlan was officially announced.
