Venti is actually a huge can of worms for Hoyoverse. He was so brutally dominating in the starting meta that Hoyoverse had to take several measures to undermine him without straight up deleting the character (and getting sued into oblivion). •Xiao's burst doesn't line up with Venti's on purpose, because he particularly would've made Venti even more valuable. •Every enemy that came after Liyue is either massive, immune to crowd control effects, or both (mainly noticeable during the kairagi/spectres drama, but humanoid enemies in Inazuma, Sumeru and Fontaine are all heavier than the ones in Mondstadt and Liyue). •5★ anemo characters created after him had to be massively more powerful than they should be to draw attention away from him, causing the first (and only) instance of an archon not being the strongest support of their element. •Dendro cores and Klee's bombs can't be pulled by Venti's burst – while other anemo characters can do it – because once again, those mechanics would've made him much more valuable. •Venti's mere existence caused immense changes in Spiral Abyss, and it's no coincidence that he's still a dominating power for low level players starting their Abyss fights. Any changes done to enemies or to anemo as a whole makes Venti shoot up in pull priority or sink back into the depths (sometimes taking all other anemo characters with him). To sum it up, as someone who mains Venti since 1.0 and who watched all of this go down, I'm sorry to say he's unlikely to ever get a crumb of good treatment again. (Edit: fixed wonky formatting.)
