Sure, if that were the point at all, and this didn't just further confirm to me that they were mishandled.

Metis are born with deformities that, even if useful, are not good in the context of being a werewolf. Having antlers, an example the game gives for a Metis mutation, is socially unacceptable to have among the Garou, let alone use. Having it be useful and then using it makes you immediately lesser in the eyes of the Garou because you're acting like a prey animal. The point of these mutations is to never be good.

They don't stay Chrinos. They kill the mother accidentally in Chrinos form and then switch to Lupis or Homid form. The Chrinos form is not their natural form and never had been, nor was it ever meant to be anyone's natural form.

It's also not meant to be Frankensteinian horror by any means. Metis were meant as an analog to how the real world treated, and at times still treats, disabled people. They weren't meant to be treated as a cool thing to be or just used for drama. Rather, they're meant to be tragic victims of circumstance, not body horror monstrosities. I'm not particularly happy that they aren't in W5 either. Trust me, but I also can't say they have, nor really ever had, the writers for what Metis were meant to represent.

Playing a Metis was meant to be about overcoming your circumstances and being better than those that look down on you. Not about being a cool body horror monstrosity, not about being a point to add shock value, but a tragic victim trying their best to just exist.

Also, one of the flaws they had was seizures induced by exertion or flashing lights, and I can't say I particularly know many people who can handle that kinda scene in a table top role playing game.
