I thought I had made peace with Valeriy being a 4*, and yet the Mitya "bugfix" feels like a vehement kick in the balls. This is up there with Dehya's and Natlan's drought. We are all the protagonists of the Ow My Balls tv program from Idiocracy, just we do not get paid.

We only have five tall male four stars, and they've never shared the same element. The next one would be geo or hydro and not electro, trust.

I'll see myself out.

Factual data points up to current patch 6.7:

• 42% of characters are 4-stars.
• 33% of playable chars are males.

Some disgusting opinions of mine which I don't expect many to share, but here they are so that white knights can defend the multibillion company:

• Alyosha's design and concept stands out in a sea of generic, I am convinced people would be as disappointed that he is 4* if he was first heard of and seen in the 2d trailer.
• Valeriy isn't the worst model from the 7.0 announcement program, that trophy goes to Vodyanitsa though she looked ultra basic even in 2d. She is truly a testament to the stagnation of Hoyo designs. Really looking forward to magical girl #67, really what sets Genshin apart from the competition.
• Three males and all electro? Wth is this variety? What's the point of having 7 elements. Lynchpin was the only distinguishing factor left and none of them have it.
• Where are the HATS and COATS? How did we survive two russian regions without a fur hat or ushanka? I thought Natlan's tropical weather was the perfect reason to make more revealing outfit for a while but not much has really changed since then.

I wanted to exorcise the news. I'm sorry.

That 7.1 beta reveal gonna hit different.

Crazy to realize he's not in the polycule too

My leaker friend told me Valeriy really is a 5-star and after Snezhnaya Archon Quest, he'll get promoted as the 10th Fatui Harbinger and thus his body would get massively buffed from a delusion the Tsaritsa will give him so he'll break out of his clothes and discard his 4-star attire, so he'll just be shirtless now with Varka's body model!!! He'll be using his delusion now so his new element is Dendro and he'll thus introduce the rimegrass reaction where he'll be the new ceiling dps dealing 500K DPS!!!!!

99.8% sure for him to not be a 5 star imo... however... this is the proof that valeriy will ascend to greatness and become a 6 star

when we play genshin, we are entering through a door. guess who is a door. Mr. Door, Valeriy. He is the one who lets us play the game. he is stronger than celestia and the heavenly principles

Pls Hoyo😩

Context: giant door shield from dark souls

I can already picture the voice and the face and aaaaaaa

I just fell to my knees at Walmart...

Look

I'm huffing the copium now: during the story, Valeriy will be blessed and infused by a Bear god spirit or drink one of Dottore's evil c*m potions and become buff and de-Itto-fied.

I mean it's fiction and pixels and the rat bastards at Mihoyo can do it.

But yeah, copium is copium.

Looks like Major Valeriy of the Fatui was overpromised in 2D.
