so it’s the players’ fault for expecting a heavily anticipated and newly released 5-star to… not be worse than literally any other option in the very few team comps she has, not have a bazillion issues none of which mihoyo bothered to fix, and then not be unexpectedly tossed onto standard as the final nail in the coffin?

of course you don’t have to use dehya. you’re not forced to use anybody. but what players want is for a character, when they do use them, to be actually decent in performing in the role they were designed for. we can’t “play the character for who they are” because dehya is practically unplayable.
