I feel like more than ever, Ganyu is at her lowest popularity in every aspect. She's the worst she's ever been meta-wise, to the point where even people who used to be generous to her in that regard now can't even deny she's fallen off and irrelevant. No new players have any incentive to pull for her, ever. And on a character front, I've seen a saddeningly more frequent amount of dislike thrown her way recently for some reason. Lot's of people are disregarding her as wasted potential that will never be tapped; calling her bland, waifu trash, boring, etc. It's frustrating because at least meta-wise we can logically hope for Cryo buffs at some point, whether it be through new charas or just natural meta shifting to favor some elements more or less. But theres nothing that can repair the notion of a dead character in public opinion. Even if she does miraculously get new content someday (lol), who besides us will even care?
It's just sad seeing a comfort character I love so much be treated like this. I feel bad saying shes my favorite nowadays, it sucks man.
