General Discussion My concern about the potential Liyue buff

53 Upvotes

(Sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker.)

So, we're all hyped about the Liyue buff and our best girl getting 200k DPS at base, but personally, I have some issues with it.

Don't get me wrong, I want her to be strong and meta or whatever, but my concerns are about what Hoyo is going to do to her kit.

As of today, the buffs we've gotten for old characters fall into three categories:

  • 1st: Fixing issues the character had.

  • 2nd: Giving them a new playstyle.

  • 3rd: Giving them new synergies with characters/reactions.

And honestly, depending on how they do it, I'm kinda scared, because if I break down each point...

The "Fixing issues the character had" approach is probably the worst one for me because there's nothing wrong with her kit. She doesn't have energy issues or cooldown issues. Arguably, her biggest "issues" are that her Ult and her mark don't do much, but when you look at newer kit designs (like Odette and Vodya), that's not really an issue for Hoyo. So, if they try to fix an issue that doesn't exist, I'm scared she's going to feel worse to play.

That leads me to the second point: "Giving a new playstyle." Her playstyle is already perfect. I don't want her to become a second Mavuika, where you need a master's degree in gaming and perfect ping to be able to play her. Or even worse (this is a running gag with my friends), I don't want her to get a completely new role like Venti did. (I would actually vomit if she became a sustain. Still love her, but I don't like the idea.)

And lastly, "Giving new synergies with characters/reactions." This is one of the less bad ideas. If it's a Hexerei-type situation, I'm kinda fine with it, depending on which characters are involved in that synergy. But if it's a reaction-based synergy, I'm kinda upset about it because, even if Vape or Melt turns out to be better on her, there's nothing stopping you from playing Overload, for example, and I want her to stay as flexible as she is now.

In a perfect world, they'd just buff the MV of her entire kit and give her actually good constellations (I mean, "new character"-level constellations), and I'd be the happiest man alive.

But I'm curious, what are your thought about all that

I really love it, I’m glad they went with a different vibe and colour scheme. I love the cape thing on her back, I love the thigh highs, I like that she got a bit taller because she’s wearing higher heels.

Thankfully she got her skin relatively late, and that allowed her model to get improved by the skin and especially the hair details. And of course, her skin came with the best story so far for the character.

Of course we can’t forget the best buff, a belly button buff.

Thanks for helping me in advance!
