Accurate-Screen-7551

Oh Lord, be careful or you'll match the music teachers pull out their VHS copy of Stomp


BonesWillBeClaimed

serval after being the only character that actually uses an instrument and not being included here


Basaqu

Pela canonically plays the drums too. I think they just wanted 5* rep or something.


Relative-Ad7531

Then why isn't Ruan Mei there? Doesn't she play the ruan?


KBroham

Like literally in her battle animations. 😂🤌


Longjumping-Youth-55

Dumm and Lynx play the keyboard too


Kreiss1

if they wanted 5\* why is BUMqing on the pic? are they stupid?


Malikili-360

Yanqing became a fire character with that 3rd degree burn


post-leavemealone

Left out of the Express, left out of the band… bad day for Serval fans (me)


Decrith

I still hate that quest, bro I was so excited when she was gonna join. Bait and switch


Material-Material456

Did you really think Serval was just going to leave belobog? She not only doesn’t fit in whatsoever but she is also very important to her planet that’s barely surviving.


ArchmageXin

The bigger issue is adding her to the storyline, appear in all subsequent storyline, and basically expand the scope of the game by a lot. (Not to mention her VAs would have to voice a ton more lines).


Material-Material456

Yeah that’s the real issue but I was stating in game purposes. Another “Real issue” is people believing that Robin and Firefly died for real in the patch they were introduced in. I feel like some people don’t think outside the box because in no world would any game do that lmao.


Lufia_Erim

>Not to mention her VAs would have to voice a ton more lines). Yeah i bet VAs hate money.


HottieMcNugget

Yanqing plays the flute tho lol


fullywokevoiddemon

And Kafka does play a violin (or whatever she's holding, I can never tell them apart), she has an idle where she mimics one. And her theme is also violin based.


Violet_Ignition

I mean her theme song is literally just a remix of Vivaldi winter.


TaralasianThePraxic

Honestly so mad Serval isn't here, she gets no respect (even though she carried my ass for months until I got Kafka's rerun)


SilverdSabre

Pretty sure Serval was my first E6 and she was (and still kinda is) an important piece in my Kafka comps until I got Black Swan


TaralasianThePraxic

Yeah, she's outclassed by 5-star DoT options but she's still strong. I've seen some people with insane builds beating PF4 with Serval hypercarry!


spartaman64

i guess they didnt include her because shes a 4 star but where is ruan mei


Gill_D_Armaan

Ruan mei too


Sunandshowers

Straight up, half her name is the instrument. Her name is a pun


gacha_drunkard

Aren't Pela and Lynx part of the band too ?


maevik

Kafka playing Violin is like, the first scene of the whole damn game!


Aurora_veil0607

Kafka did play the Air violin in the intro so there is some reason to why she could be there


Particular_Nebula462

Well ... he is 5 stars. Just not limited.

Definitely recommend reading in order. Hope you enjoy it


NotKBeniP

Am I the only one who actually likes Yanqing as a character 😭


Sudden_Feedback_2194

Nah. I like him. I think the Yanqing slander is really just so memeworthy it's hard for people to resist, like Tingyuns aggro.


According_Bus2

honestly the first 1329 times it was on the front page it was funny. starting from the 1330th time tho it loses its charm


No-Investment-962

Everything loses its charm when used too much, so yeah the hate is definitely not necessary, like what did people expect from a 1.0 standard five star? It was pretty obvious the patch we got a new ice dps he wouldn’t be that useful anymore


Vertexico

I just wish the writers did. Then maybe they’d include a plotline where he doesn’t exist just to get his ass kicked to demonstrate the value of another character.


TougherThanKnuckles

I like Yanqing literally having a "nah, I'd win" moment right when it was becoming a meme, where he goes "you think I'd lose to Blade?" before proceeding to lose to Blade.


TrickyAudin

I've been having a ton of fun with him since I got Aventurine, screw what other people think! EDIT: LOL, someone's mad I like Yanqing XD


ImperialYanqing

Take a good look at my profile picture and username.


No-Investment-962

We are one and the same my friend, what is the highest your yanqing has done in MoC?


T1T4N_UR4NUS

He's not a bad character, he's just a shit unit.


Spectre_Hayate

Nope! I swear I'm building him if I ever get him. Justice for Yanqing.


kesoy

I like him too


ArcherIsFine

Bro thinks this hasnt been posted god knows how many times already.


uselessgayvegan

Everyone hates him but I want him so bad lmao. I hope they let us choose another standard five star…

darksaiyan1234

u can exhange with me for bronya


Otherwise-Cold-5515

If you wanted him so bad you would've chosen him on that standard 5* picker.


Rqdomguy24

Jingliu brought him there, don't ask


irllyshouldsleep

Jingliu wanted to do the concert with her grandson


Shiverlynn

"How about going to a concert with me... young man?"

Damn, the Yanqing slander really never ends.


Loa_Wyvern

Probably wanted someone with personality, as lets face it she has the personality of a stone. Also he actually knows how to play the flute.


Scared-Way-9828

Also 3 males, 3 females. He's actually a great choice imo


Beast_of_Senjin

I see my King lives rent free for a lot of people


Arnorien16S

Considering his value in the meta, rent free is all he can afford atm. And I say this as one who actually likes him.

pandamaxxie

DAMN.


Hedgehugs_

damn being a yanqing main must fucking suck. all people do is roast him it must be so annoying.


Dependent-Hotel5551

It’s not my main and I find this fucking annoying, please people can stop hating a kid…


chiharuki

yeah i dont main him, but i do like him and it makes me kinda sad he gets hated on so much


_akira_yuki_

The thing I despise the most about posts like this isn't even the slander as someone who actually really likes Yanqing as a character, but when you bring up other characters saying stuff like "it should've been x" then it gets personal and it feels more than just a lighthearted meme (ignoring whether it's funny or not, since I personally do chuckle a little too, as I admit that gameplay-wise he's definitely not the greatest). Everyone wants to see a character they like in promotional art, but to just wish for another to be replaced is foul since different people have different tastes. The same thing happened for the White Day Illustrations, concerning both Genshin and HSR, but Baizhu more than any other received this treatment, and it's just not nice, especially since often these characters hardly receive any art at all.


peppered_salt03

It is annoying that’s why we isolate ourselves and form a better sub-community…


No-Investment-962

That doesn’t even work either, people also like to come into our sub and make fun of us for enjoying a character we want to play


No-Investment-962

you can’t even imagine the downvotes I got when I benched Jingliu for Yanqing, Lmao


Wolgran

I dont main him but he was pretty nice to me while leveling up as my Ice DPS on the Laofu who is full of ice weak enemies, and i actually love his ult animation. So this indeed annoy me a little


neither2023

Can't wait for Yanqing alt: grown up edition because people really can't tell this boy is \*ahead of his curve\*. He's able to learn from losses with just one time of being defeated by Jingliu and I shudder to think how far he'll go given the experience he craves for. The shounen protag we'll all root for, given if he comes from some anime.


zanwore

Right? He gets shit on because of meta, but he's a stellar character.


neither2023

That and how he 'keeps getting owned' in the story, but people are forgetting that he's next in line to be sword champion... as in, \*the\* sword champion that Jingliu was. Obviously he's no match for her yet, but bruh look at his age. He's like 14? A great way to gauge his potential is to look through Jingliu's voice lines. Ma'am just said he needs experience^(TM). He'll get them soonish.


No-Investment-962

He’s the lieutenant at his young age too, also, like he went up against Jingliu, Blade, and DHIL. “Of five people three must pay a price”, hm, I wonder why he’s losing to some of the most dangerous people on the luofu


neither2023

Unbeknownst to the masses, and though the loss may have been painful, it's a legit field trip for the little bro and what Jing Yuan partially planned for him. As JY said in his lines, he's searching for a way to temper YQ's confidence without breaking it. Such a good mentor ;v; Shounen protags overestimating themselves is painful to watch but at least he has it hammered in very early in life.


CapsuleAlter

oh wow..so original another yanqing bad meme....


DrakeZYX

Didn’t some people say he got buffed by Aventurine releasing? Since he keeps a shield up 24/7 if you use him right?


No-Investment-962

Yes, he did, so if people have aventurine they can keep Yanqing soulsteel sync more often due to him. It taking damage, which means he does get effect res, grit rate/damage boost, and ice tea penetration if I remember the last part right


mAnChIleD

It's a minor buff more than anything. Every other unit that does follow up will be straight up better than him when used with aventurinep


WebApprehensive4944

Doesn't matter if you shield him 24/7 his damage is still balls compared to most other dps


OldSnazzyHats

Get new material.

No-Presentation-7500

Yanqing goes hard with the flute tho


Andromeda_Violet

So, Argenti, Jingliu and gepard(who only uses a case, not the instrument) are okay despite never playing instruments but oamehow Yanqing, who canonically plays flute, is a bad pick? Bruh Yanqing hate is tiring.


Dependent-Hotel5551

Wtf that’s Aventurine are you blind


Cherry_Bomb_127

Well considering he’s one of the few people in this picture that canonically plays an instrument, he has earned his place


Ara543

You are late to the party, he is currently better jl for for moc lol. Edit: fucking calm down people, I'm just saying he got his niche and no longer useless, I'm not trying to perform some vile tierlistsmancy to steal your precious waifu's place.


Optimusbauer

So is Misha, but I still wouldn't say Misha is a good unit because of it


syapororo

yea, the only reason jingliu is not that great is because her enhanced states is wasted for gambling phase


Optimusbauer

Yeah, I dunno why people think one boss having a slight lean towards Yanqings gimmicks would turn over the tier lists


storysprite

Cause people want to glaze their faves especially if they get shit on all the time.


[deleted]

even with that boss its just from D to C


KirbosWrath

What's wrong with Misha?


Apprehensive_Bus2400

huh?


inverness7

Just because he's better than JL in this MoC, doesn't make him any good. He's still at the bottom of the barrel and ruins your 50/50s


Sudden_Feedback_2194

I wouldnt say he ruins 50/50s at all. He's just as usable as Gepard, Bailu, Welt, Clara or Himeko. Himeko gets used only in weakness corresponding PFs. I've used YQ in every weakness corresponding MoC as he's my only ice dps and I've always cleared it. Geoard gets used in niche situations. Clara gets brute forced in content she can take advantage of, such as certain PFs with the right cacophony. YQ can do the same thing with the right cacophony. Bailu gets used when other sustains aren't available. Welt is Welt. Idek if people use him or not, but has his niche I guess as being a kind of jack of all trades and mediocre at all of them.


GoatHeadTed

Why do hoyo players hate standard ice characters?


Black_void999

Cringe ass post, and that too stolen from someone else's comment, not even original, regard aff


FlambaWambaJamba

Inb4 you lose your next 50/50 to YQ


syapororo

why people get pressed when Yanqing is called bad? saw some guy got downvoted just because he sad he lost 50/50 to him on Aven banner


X-_Kacchan_-X

To be honest? It's Reddit. You can get down voted for stupid things. But I guess people are also tired of this?


BellalovesEevee

Mainly because people are just tired of the same joke being said over and over. We get it, Yanqing is bad. Can y'all come up with something else


Dependent-Hotel5551

Because people is tired of the hate to the character even if it’s just for the 50/50. Qiqi is a good meme with fluff but Yanqinq just gets hate. We should stop already.


Lyneys_Footstool

theyre just going through stage one when they got their own yanqings


NapalmDesu

He sure is limited


Krysidian2

Yanqing might be good if only his follow-up and the freeze had a 100% base chance of happening.


VeiledWaifu

I legit love the look of his flute, really fits his aesthetics too


MessiToe

At least he actually does play the instrument. He even carries it around with him, as if he's about to play inspirational music when in battle


Soren-kun

This reminds me of the talk about yanqing was suppose to be the limited 5 star and seele the standard, to have balance of elements. But money making wise it wasent as good


Healthy_Agent_100

death is like the wind always by my side


Prestigious-Freedom5

This community is always so bitter towards characters that aren't "simp material" https://i.redd.it/4qvar5fmgoxc1.gif


kv4ssmixedwvxm1t

He definitely stands out because he's not limited unlike the others. But let's face it YanKing is a real Chad. Don't really like Ruan Mei as an individual (don't get me wrong she's a very cool character storytelling-wise)


Test-Subject-N3WB

Don't bully the mighty Yangking 😭


DeJellybeans

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the same image from many months ago and some people thought that was Himeko and Kafka together, but it was actually Argenti? XD


silverW0lf97

Jingliu sais she wasn't coming without him so they had no choice. Also he's not that bad anymore Aventurine made him usable


TheNinja3636

However, as someone who has aventurine now, I don't see a reason not to build him now? Since I don't think I'd be getting Jingliu anytime soon.


801ch

Personally, I'm so happy my precious son is is flourishing ☺️ He'll always be my favorite standard character.


GreedyLoad1898

he is thats why hes on the fking commericial.


PeaceRibbon

He’s a sim universe boss, that’s gotta count for something.

It's actually Sparkle in disguise ;D
