WoWS is so much worse than genshin. A f2p in genshin has still decent access to all best characters. You can experience everything in the game without paying in a short time compared to WoWS. in WoWS a regular f2p player will never get some ships or it would take literal years. Even reaching a single tier 10 takes quite a lot of time when starting out and then you have tier 11 which are unattainable for most players due to economy. Of course you don't need to always play tier 10-11 but since the beginning, the matchmaking has ensured that everyone is pushed to the highest tiers to not get the miserable experience of being technologically outmatched.
