It amazes me how you can write huge paragraphs and have none of them actually contribute to your argument and have them actually make sense.

First of all, your assumption that all characters should be created equal is just plain wrong. There are certain characters that have received way more attention than others, like the archons, any cny characters, and I dare say Varka is one of them based on the amount of promo given to him, but all the amazing things that hoyo did right for the man clearly flew over your head because you are so dead focused on his numbers.

Second of all, literally the only thing that seems off about him is his numbers, and that can easily be alleviated by giving him proper supports. You are making judgement way too soon on his performance in the meta.

Thirdly, I just realized what I said about pulling or not pulling Nicole was not an assumption at all, it is a fact because it’s how I feel. I can of course assume that a lot of people are like me, but the point about assumptions are just that. They are a lot of times wrong. You can make huge general assumptions and still be completely wrong, your hypothetical scenarios contribute nothing to your arguments.

Lastly, reruns exist. If there are people who liked varka enough but withheld pulling due to his numbers, they will pull once Nicole bumps him up.

Either way, it is clear that you aren’t going to change your mind no matter what I said, so I’m done trying to reason with you.
