    News that made me laugh. 400 million dollars lol The main feature in gacha games is that main characters are weak by nature, never get a rework and only serve for the first few days of account to face with difficulty the first stages of the game that would be easily achieved with a 5* character. GI is not a mmo, it is not an RPG. GI is a gacha game.

    Absolutely unacceptable response.

    Zhongli was the most anticipated character by far. The community adores him and I was among those personally excited. 

    He was advertised as doing "enormous" damage. He doesn't. Now they're telling us to git gud and play him as a support (despite the fact that there are no support spears and the spear that released alongside him is a dps spear).

    He also sucks at support, by the way. He has a shield, which has no side effects and is the only shield to not cleanse status effects. Shields are also redundant on geo characters because they all inherently generate shields through elemental combos. His stun is too short to do anything, and his wonky, inconsistent energy generation ensures that you won't have reliable access to it.

    And he's blatantly outclassed by Noelle - a 4 star character everyone is guaranteed to get from the starter banner. She tanks better, she heals your whole team, and she outdamages him to boot.

    Zhongli isn't a main character. He's one of those 5 stars that is supposed to "easily achieve" things. And a very well loved one prior to launch at that.

    haha, the "ULT" CD is really low, and you can easily get 20k + damage in addition to petrifying the adversary: P
    His elemental ability in combo with another GEO generates massive area damage for each "GEO element in the SCENARIO" that easily generates 2 ~ 3k easily while there are active geo constructions.
    I find it even a little strong for support compared to 4-star DPS!
    But to play solo he is probably not a good choice>. <

    What's their response to if someone hacks your account and spends money on the account, it's now their account?

    I'm a MUDder. I play MUDs.

    I have no idea, but I heard that story and it's the most ridiculous scenario.

    Invade someone's home, order a pizza, it's your home now. Congrats.

    Steal someone's car, fuel it up, and it's yours!

    Taking a look at Zhongli's skills, it was clear since the beggining that he is a character focused on support and CC. All this rants on their forums demanding a buff are just ridiculous, and MiHoYo just answered the only thing possible about this char.
    No surprises, and perfectly understandable.

    Imagine supporting a Chinese game. You might as well get covid because you literally earned it by giving them your money.

    Imagine thinking that Chinese people shouldn't make video games.
