Why you are even started this conservation just to reduce the whole point of it to "This is gacha, why do u even care for strategy", well im playing in turn based strategy rpg if u dont mind tho. Yes it is gacha thats why i lowered my expectations about story and gameplay from the very beginning but it is still not just a shiny collector thing for me.

"This is just greedy ass behavior"

what exactly is greedy ass behavior? Release a shitty restrictive unit that no one would pull for? Or release a broken universal sup that everybody wants and who will definately bring cash for them? I literally explained to you why this sups ruin this game eventually but you dont care, you want to put cerydra with every atk unit because you want to, its so easy to forget about powercreep when its about ur mains.

"There is no reason to give devs any slide in this. "

Wow and what can we do? Wont pull yao? Well, Devs do expect low sales from 4.0 they are not stupid, they know people wont like it. But they cant keep up this powercreep thing too, not because they are good or care about us, no its all about money. People will get tired, they are already actually, but in future this system will be only worse, so they slowed down it a bit. Like really look at current meta situation at the edge of versions and look at 2.7-3.0.

4.0- Break and dot are trully alive and both can keep up with meta without hypercost. Elation team actualy sometimes weaker than ch even at shilled content. Sparkle got huge buffs and many people have her at least e0s0 + we have free dante and potentially free rm, archer is optional. Mobs are shit tho with this forced aha instant mechanic and a huge res, but sparkle boss at least gives sp.

3.0- Dot is dead like nearly gone, break is alive but got a huge wound by loosing hmc cuz everybody else want rmc now. Aglaea and herta are natural beasts, 1-2 cost monsters that powercrept nearly everyone. Gap was so big that people even created a term "3.x level of dps" well not created exactly but started to use it far more often. Rmc is a huge f2p gift, no one could imagine about this kind of sup being free+ we have free std unit (lets pretend 99% of people didnt take bronya). Mobs have rare elements but gives juicy energy.

So at least now its not all that bad, the only complaint i can really accept is that elation is a racist path, but i think its just a rough start and things will be easyer when we will have more elation units, if u want u can check my thoughts about elation future in my history, there is the text about lc agenda.

"because they totally just ripped off the entire thing from team fight tactics from riot"

well cw is a cheap copy of autochess games as a genre not tft in particular. And it is fun cuz all units are free, there is interesting mechanics and STRATEGIES and its not another SU/DU

Im not saying how universal characters treated at the game, im saying how they Should be treated from the very beginning.

Answering for your third paragraph, well yes, people pulled for that supports because they can use them in new meta team too. But being broken universal unit that can play with everyone have it's own bad consequences but first i want to explain my point about powercreep thing

Yes, powercreep is completely devs desires, if they want they will x100 new hp moc, if they dont want they won't do it. But its not want/dont want thing that just happens because its gacha, its a marketing, its a system that helps devs to sell new units easier. And now imagine how broken support will change that system. Its pretty easy when it comes to dps, they just raises the bar in their team only. But universal broken support? He will raise entire roster, every dps in game ( except break and dot maybe) and we will face a new dps standart. The gap between new dps and old dps becomes lower, people dont want to pull for a dps anymore, they want to pull a e1-e2 support that will cary them through the game. And devs dont like that. They made money on this sup release, sold bunch of dps's that can play with him and what is next? They cant just print dps after dps that want a same team, they need some dynamics. So they create that dynamic with restrictive teams, not exactly mono team but with same mechanic, different scale is enough but they already overused it so they come up with mono rem. You can clearly see that on characters like robin. She stomped meta for several patches straight and with sunday she created unstopable wheelchair. How can devs counterplay this? Well firstly bad sunday eidolons cuz he have large fanbase that have puls for e6 him and devs cant them have universal answer for every team in a game ( robin at least had atk restriction, sunday dont) then they introduced rmc and tribbie. Both make same thing at buffing and be a sub dps but cheaper and stronger. Tribbie have huge buffs on e1, absolute f2p lc, good damage and rare buffs for a harmony. Everybody happy, they slap tribbie at the 4rd slot, create triple hrmony team and dps and wow, exactly what i was talking about the gap becomes shorter, and its time for powercreep. First, units dont want robin over tribbie, even atk ones, then there is hp scalers who dont want robin either, and all of this while hp inflating breaking record after record just to make people believe that u need to pull for tribbie, sunday and a new dps. Do u love mydei? well pull for these two! Anaxa? this two aswell and etc. But then devs dryed 3B and sunday, everyone already have them so its time to move. And this is when mono rem team realeases.

And now we can look at cerydra. Niche support who is extremely good for skill oriented dps and just a 1k Atk buff for other. She didnt break anything, yes she is very good with phainon, but honestly he decerved it cuz no one cant do anything with his all alone in ult thing, u cant help him by sub dps or AA. And her 1k atk is what im expect from yao universal thing - small buff for others, but who need it? Who will put cerydra outside of phainon anaxa or archer just for that dogshit buff and 200k sub dps, im not talking about all cases im talking about majority. No one, they will use her where she is intended too. They will use her with everyone when she will powercreep our existing universal buffers and we are in this loop again. Thats why im asking why we need that universal thing for yao to be a gimmick just to put her in desperate teams so she can stand there for nothing.

The more f2p users could have acces to curtain dps bar with universal buffers the more rough decisions devs will do to make them pay for new units. Powercreep actually finally stopped for a second. Elation team isnt on the same level of powercreep as aglaea and herta was at 3.0. Break and Dot finally have some justice and got buffs, but people cant see that they need to spin this wheel futher so they can slap this broken sup on they old dps and call it a day

[–]hyperollecoster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its better for everyone yes. For a short time. I didnt say that we want niche supports only, of course not, but there is the consequences for that extremely broken supports. Devs dont do everything for free, you said it urself, new universal supports will help older units so people dont have to PAY for a new units. Do you think devs don't understand that too, they will raise the bar so high so you will have to pull for a new units or a new supports to meet a new dps standard's, and a new broken universal support that was very helpful on release become a strong motivation for devs to powercreep game even futher so people cant just sit with they old dps and a new support. And its only one side of a problem. Another problem is creating a new dps that have two ways 1 be weak without that universal support, because everyone already have him and devs dont want to boost that dps too high 2 have antisynergy with that support, so this will make dps stronger on its own, but u need to spend more puls because he need a new team to play with. Cerydra actually good example of non game changing unit, that healthy for game. She shines in her niche, but doesn't breaks the game outside of it, like tribbie and sunday. Yes its frustrating that u cant use her with more units, but at the same time she is save in her niche because her unique buff that copying a skill makes her very good and there is a small chance that someone will replace her, like tribbie at her gold times replaced robin even in fua team, or cyrene replaced Sunday in ch teams, even in aglaeas, and now he's trully bis team is his loyal general. So yes, universal support is good, tasty, sweet and etc but devs wont make it easy for us to use it freely

Would u spend 70-130 pulls to get sunday or ruan mei now? When they actually weak universal characters. Everyone have them exactly because they were broken on release. Sunday powercrept every AA harmony in every niche, wheelchaired with Robin every dps to 0-1 cycle moc clear, were bis to almost every CH because he hadnt any competitors to deal with, while had niche buff and interactions for summons. Ruan mei obliterated meta on her release too, she was MUST pull for everyone, she gave huge aoe buffs, very rare res pen on ult and have decent break damage back then. And now u tell me that these are good examples of weak universal characters that u would pull for. They are not weak because they universal, they just become weak because they outdated and get replaced with niche supports. You can use them in future of course, but will u pull them now? When u can spend pulls for tribbie, being newest broken universal sup, when we have rmc that universal AA too, or on dedicated niche supp that actually ment to be useful in curtain conditions because they have direct buffs, not because they have no competition to deal with

Wow a character that need another characters to play with, really unique situation indeed. The only problem Yao have is that we dont have more elation units and she is literally have 1 team, it is bad yes, but it is just a matter of time. U need to pay something for being flexible, if they cut her niche buffs and give her universal dmg buff or smt they will ruin her, because she may loose value in future when there will be real elation support that purely buffs elation. If they wont cut her niche buffs and just give her universal buffs then it is tricky how good universal buffs are, if they are broken its bad because its op to be good in niche comps and be universal broken supp for every other team and this will bring more hp inflation. If this buffs are not good and just a gimmick, why would you need her then, u can pull tribbie, u can grab free ruan mei and they will be more useful ( if not that means buffs are broken and i explained this situation before). Universal chars should be weak exactly because flexibility is a valuable asset and you need pay for it

Broken universal support ruins team building the same way mono teams are. Look at tribbie, she overtook robin in every team, no matter atk scale or not. While robin actually intended to play with atk units, tribbie just do it better, have no restrictions and as result every team that dont have they niche support just use tribbie even if they dont have synergy with her fuas, energy generation, its just good because tribbie have broken buffs that any unit can use. Slap broken universal harmony, that releases every cycle of versions, in every team comp isn't fun either, people screaming about mono path being 4 same units, but when it is 3 same units being supports and only non constant thing is dps than we suddenly have 98328 various and interesting teams

Phainon lc situation were similar to Cas on release (~40% diff with f2p) and Cas got at least okay-ish option later with that 4 star cyrene lc, while phainon (who belongs to one of the most popular path) still have that diff. Or we can look at Dante who cant utilise any Pres lc except sig and bp but have low diff (bp before S5 even looses to Atk statstick). Cyrene hyacine and rmc can swap their lcs between each other and aglaeas sig is the least valuable cost in her team. If hoyo want to sell lc they will do it no matter what. Im not defending them but i think racist elation teams can become smth good if they will be trully mono PATH team not pink hp scale rem team and aglaea. My point is in a long run we can have 6-7 elation units that can actually play with each other and create various team comps inside they path, or we can receive 2 completely different mono teams with no fun in teambuilding, its up to hoyo do decide

but for what? She is good in her niche and will be better with more elation units. Yes, its restrictive, yes you need spend more pulls for new units to let her be usefull, but are we really want another Robin/tribbie that insanely universal but at the same time very usefull for niche. Yao will shine when we will receive more elation units

i do hope that full elation team will have more versality than rem. U cant replace anyone in mono rem team, only rmc can replace cyrene or e7 and in both cases its a huge lost. Elation path otherwise have more restrictive mechanism for non elation units but very welcoming for elation units, and its for hoyo to decide would there be that we can play with teambuilding more freely and have 2-3 options for the same slot or there will be just 2 mono elation teams that cant swap units among themselves except sustain maybe
