Yao Yao with Al Haitham Analysis: https://youtu.be/pBQu9ypqL0I
His damage wasnt op in the first place and his gameplay is literally dendro keqing. Now he got the biggest nerfs from hoyo. Feels bad for him
I call on everyone to rebel, you need to return the old ALH
I was thinking about pulling for him but now I'm not so sure. I may still pull for him on my Alt account just to try and build him and I really like his character.
Bruh, no reason to pull for the Keqing copy now.
Meanwhile, a mere theater dancer from sumeru hits like a truck and outdps other male characters.
Not only he got the same gameplay as Keching, but also his weapon will come with one from standard and NOW this, they killed this man three times already!
Hoyoverse why are even making him 5 star just nerf him more and make him a 4 star. This game doesn't allow any male dps to out perform their female counterparts.
way too much rotation made really hard to play him in order to get his highest dmg num which is nerfed though
he is absolutely no in floor 12
these hard crashing nerfs made him trash
so im not gonna waste my primo on him ever
His hypercarry potential just got stripped away which I really hate. I don't think I'll be pulling for him anymore
See what happen when character being leak? It is as if the stats are final and hoyoverse can't do anything to them anymore cause community rage over something that is not even release.
I care about the damage. I was going for his constellations and BiS weapon, now I'm not even sure if I'm going to pull for him anymore
Male mid hammer strikes again!
Honestly, is anyone surprised?
Don't know why he's a 5 star with these new horrendous multipliers
Jesus they obliterated him. What was the point? Characters like ganyu and hu tao can have everything they want but anybody after them is nerfed to the ground or a side grade to existing units. Such a shame, the favoritism this game shows.
Okay now I'm pretty certain I will be pulling for Yelan
The nerfs look bad. Like, real bad. I do hope Hoyo would adjust him once more because they literally lowered his overall potential if he's meant to be a DPS.
But to be fair, there's still a month's worth of time before his release. Meaning more changes are possible. And I hope this time, they'll be buffs. One thing I'll be hoping for is to lower the energy cost of his EB. If they nerfed the damage multiplier down to the ground, it would only be fair to have it with low costs.
Now he's a dendro Keqing but better and not on steroids
Edit: Grammatic failure
Im very disappointed but I will go for him still, bc I love him. But damm, they did him very dirty, hopefully they buff him a bit? Tysm for this video, I hope the next one u do are better news ðŸ˜
I’m a husbando collector but this just hurts my heart. I was going to pull for him but now I might just skip him and get c1 hutao
Hoyo once again proved, that there will NEVER be a top tier male DPS in the whole game. 🤡
His signature weapon relied on normal attacks. And they did not nerf his normal attacks. They know what they are doing, but i'm still annoyed about the burst nerf.
Doesn't Haran gain more value now?
Hyv cannot fathom to have a strong carry outside of liyue 😶
Ugh. I was excited because he was so flexible, that I could do different rotations without losing out much. Now he's so much more… fixed
Why did they have to do him like this, I'm personally still triple crowning him since dendro husband but damn. I just hope that it'll be like Nilou where even with nerfs he'll be great either way, or hope he's at least on Cyno or Itto level.
I swear mihoyo probably has some sort of goal to make sure that the Sumeru characters are the most underwhelming and niche 5 stars in the entire game. Nahida, and nilou (although her kit is restrictive) only seem to be game changing…everybody else is just meh. Like nothing big or desirable that makes players think ‘oh damn that’d be great for my teams’…I had such high hopes for Cyno, and then he didn’t turn out all that great, and now it’s like this with Alhaitham too😒😒
it's so annoing to see every new character being reduced to just "mid"… realy sick of it i already have cyno and babygirl i dont need another failure so he better still be good cries
So is not worth anymore?
This don't make any sense in a game that doesn't have pvp, and just have fun to see many numbers appear on the screem
if this was the case his burst should now drop to 40 and his E cd drop to 10
Today is a sad day
Assuming that this game is unbalanced basically because 4-star characters 2 years old are still the best choice compared to 80% of the 5-star characters released(archon excluded)
and they will probably never again be able to make a cryo/pyro dps stronger than the ones we already have without breaking the game,not to mention then that most of the last 4 star characters that came out become usable,not strong,usable,at c6,this nerf makes no sense,in the base banner we already have Tighnari as a decent spread dps,Al with this Nerf will be yet another male dps poorer than the standard banner pgs,and he is the third pg that comes out made a this way,I don't get it,what are they up to? then we are surprised that the meta slaves have been playing the same 3 teams for 2 years, the meta of this game is getting really stagnant, now only archons and rerun (Rerun of course of the usual, Ayaka,Hu tao,Ganyu,Eula etc., you know)are worth pulling, everything else is just "because you like it"
(And spend on c2, its weapon and new artifact set, of course)
