I just want to be surprised again, and- Livestreams shouldn’t ruin that, they should get me hyped, not spoil me
Please Keep In Mind that these are All My Own Personal Opinions- not objective views and I understand that many Many May Disagree, and if you do then that’s fine.

I remember waiting a while for Cyno to be released and once I got him I was a bit dissapoointed with how intensely he need Nahida to be with him in order to preform. I understood the idea of Hyper comps from getting Xiao but I found out that the playstyle wasn't really as fun for me. I kinda wished I pulled for Albedo but couldn't since I knew Al-haitham was around the corner and Wanderer was coming even sooner. Not knowing what's coming makes you want to save based on your own predictions (what region we are in, what time of the year and waht annual events haven't reoccured) and increases the excitement but when you dont pull for more that 6 months at a time, you get the 'gacha itch' and have to fight bewtween holding out or guilt of spending too early.
I think the best practice is to save because you want a certain character and once they are offically released, check their kit then instead of prior. If you still like them, pull! If not then don't! You most likely won't completly hate a character if you like them personally but they have a garabage kit but you will if you got them for their kit instead of their personality. I like Kazuha's somewhat for what is does rather than how he does it. He is useful but because I dont 100% like I dont pull for him agrressively. I like Ayato's Animations and his hydro application but I do think his kit is a little bit basic. I pulled for him and didnt regret it b/c I enjoy watching him move around.
(Also, Sorry for posting long comments all the time, your videos make my braincells rub together lmao)
We can talk about types of leaks all we want, but the true problems in this ecosystem are the people who look for leaks and discuss them. Of course, it's not all of them, but you don't need a huge amount of people to spread leaks and get everyone spoiled. I honestly am done with all of this. I don't care about the "good" some leaks may bring. I want them gone, or the leaks community going back to being more stranded(which wont happen).
They Tried to stop leaks but Players Support at that time to much for leaks now Game Hype is Running on Leaks not A Tweet, News, Livestream from Hoyo.
Leaks do not ruin genshin. People who usually are looking at leaks are just looking for more genshin content to enjoy and look forward to while nothing interesting is happening in a patch. We are bored and we are likely wanting to know what to prep for a new character and if we want them. Also let’s us reduce the urge to wish just because a new character has arrived because we have had time to let our hype settle a bit.
I’m always in leaks high on the hopium that some nugget of end game content fun and worth a damn will be teased 😅
I don't mind character design leaks and a vids of how their skills look. In terms of the characters performance I see a bit on how the character mechanics works but with low emphasis on the cooldowns and damage numbers due to being subject to change. However story elements and exploration details are thing I don't want spoiled, yet time to time there are a lot of spoilers in the video title images.
bad take
What you want to say is "they ruin genshin for me" otherwise retarded take
Leaks don't ruin the game for me. This sounds like a you problem my guy.
i disagree,
i wouldn't be excited about characters if I didn't see how they are played and how they stack up with certain team comps. Leaks allow us to see how characters perform, if MiHoyo did this themselves, and gave us a character performing with a preferred set, or something like +atk- +element, +hp – +element , +em – + element, or basic 2pc combos, and demoed the characters with f2p teams, or teams with new characters, it would make people more excited and less reliant on leaks. If MiHoyo did this and made it even more of a community thing to crowd around, they would have more excitement, from their company, directed how they want it, not from leakers.
Leakers do occupy a space where they give us new information, but imagine if MiHoyo occupied this same space and made the leakers less appealing and actually made them viewed as hostile to the community?
New characters are added, yes with events, but it never feels like a party.
Legitimately it can be made into a coop experience. There needs to be more opportunities to share the enjoyment with friends than just sharing a link and being excited about a new character (OUTSIDE OF GENSHIN).
imagine if they hyped their characters more?
Learn from league of legends, they may have a lot of things you disagree about with their community, but they treat and garner their community very nicely.
Don't want leaks? Don't watch them.
What ruins the experience is the lack of trasparency and Mihoyo trying to scam with every new character.
crap take
I disagree. Sure story and event leaks are pointless, let us find those ourselves, even area leaks (other than the map outlines) I really don't need to see, but a character road map? Rerun road map even? Yes please. I'd love to know at a minimum the design, rarity, name, and element of the next 10 characters if I could. Even better if we could also know their main role (healer, shielder, off field dps, on field dps).
Also, hold the phone about Dehya, aside from some very early super sus leaks saying things like "Pyro Fischl" or a vague description of her kit with no numbers or context, she was always bad. Yes she got nerfed a bit, then she got added HP scaling, but whatever version you look at, her kit was still bad with low multipliers/scaling.
If you thought her OG beta kit looked good then congratz she's still ~95% as good. Most of the disappointment came from her not being limited or an actual good dps/sub dps.
Now Faruzan on the other hand oof. They gutted her in beta from her OG state. Now she's pretty much useless without C6 and yes, I'm still annoyed XD But I would have been annoyed even without the beta leaks if I only saw youtube videos on her release titled "Faruzan is great… with C6" The leaks just prepare you for the disappointment.
If anything it's a lesson to remember that beta kits are STC.
Also the Fontaine leaks are early drafts, think of Mimi/Kokomi comparison. It's all very STC. Don't get too attached to them. There are also unknown characters we don't have artwork of yet.
Being mad at leaks because Deyha is bad is like being mad that bread companies use wheat. They are only tangentially connected.
If you dont like leaks………DONT FUCKING GO TO REDDIT LOOKING FOR THEM!!!!!!
Seriously this is kindergarden level of QQ "mommy i dont like billion dollar company wont share info with the players only up to 2 weeks beforehand and reddit is full of leaks".
"Tommy darling what the actual fuck are you doing on that subreddit at all?"
And even on discord if you are on a discord where ppl can post that shit i dont care.
No for real you know how many leaks i saw recently?
None cuz i aint looking for it dumbo……why is this have to be so hard for some ppl?
Ppl want more info preferably not just 2 week before they hit i dont think thats too much to ask but than ppl will defend all the garbage gacha shit they pull off cuz "dont think just consume".
At this point not evn the leaks can show me something i can be exited about.
before i was exited for more units and landscapes now i only feel shit when they announce new lands go have fun in the ricefields mutherfucker for 2 primos YAY!
Now i want to see skipp button, artifact loadouts, more gadget slot/gadget wheel.
But leaks being bad? Nah fam company is being bad stop being a fucking sheep.
Edit: Seriously tho where do i have to go to get story spoilers?????? WHERE????
To your first point saying leaks arent helpful to indecisive people is false due to Drip marketing. Leaks dont need to exist for people to be like "wow baizhus coming next patch now i feel like saving"
To your second point i think thats on the individual. If you see a leak that dehyas a good character and dont take the time to see if anything has changed since then then you pulling with that false impression is kinda that persons mistake. Its called a beta for a reason things are always subject to change cant blame leaks for that.
Wirh your third point about story ive personally been following leaks since 1.1 and i have never been spoiled on story. Maybe a weekly boss or screenshot of characters talking without any dialogue but never have i been spoiled on an archon quest or dainslief quest. Whenever im spoiled its after the patch comes out and its all over youtube. I dont know how you was spoiled by the entire sumeru quest i definitely wasnt. Why look at it? If you see sa spoiler title or thumbnail dont read it. Scroll past it. Im not interested. In order to be spoiled to that degree you must of read and looked at every story spoiler that was there. If you dont want to know something then dont engage with it. You might see a spoiler thumbnail or image every now and then but that shouldnt ruin a whole quest without any context
I wait for Fontane with excitement, because I didn't see any spoilers at all. I saw some pictures in video thumbnails of a character who could be Hydro archon (video title was about her, so I assumed it was her leak, but idk), but that's it. Even if I've seen some characters, I didn't know that they are from Fontane or just random pictures. I look at leaks (if I look at all) only one patch before release and I'm interested only in banners and new character animations. Honestly, I don't know what you did to see story leaks. The only leak videos I dispise the most are those, who put leak content in a video thumbnails. Those leaks you can't just skip and don't look at them. You get spoiled the moment you saw a thumbnail. 🤬 Otherwise, you can skip unwanted leaks just by not searching for them and not interacting with comunities who discuss leaks.
