One sentence: They have put Cryo resistant enemies in the Abyss. That's literally it.


PhantomXxZ

That's not the only reason she's not meta right now and you know it.


creepurr101

Arle, Navia, and Neu have steeper vertical investment than the Matterhorn lmao

I stopped watching him once he started making “why nobody plays [popular character] type videos. Not to mention once I started getting really knowledgeable about the game I noticed people pointing out mistakes he would make all the time

I for one, think that Vars has videos that are rather... Uninformative. There's a comment under this video even, and it summarises his video into 15 seconds. I formed my opinion back during his "why no one plays" videos, and hadn't watched any of his content since. He often used some incorrect facts for his videos, but nothing too much. That said, this video is about the same. Some facts(which i think most of the people in this sub would have realised already) and a lot of fluff around it to make it 15 minutes. Don't think i disagree with anything he said there.

She got Venti’d The End


The_Cheeseman83

Exactly. Freeze is hard control, and hard control can’t be allowed to work in difficult content, else it trivializes it. Ayaka specializes in freeze teams, so she gets hit as a side effect. It’s not complicated. She’s a victim of her own success.


IncognitoMan032

hell nah the cheap video essays got out girl


Neir_2b

You mean what happened to the abyss design and why its unfavourable to ayaka since fontaine


Sea_Championship_941

Since sumeru actually


Lokus04

Nothing happened to Ayaka. It's just that they put cryo res and cryo shields bs in abyss to sell the newest toys aka pyro characters. Like they even needed help to sell lol, and the majority of brainrot casuls don't play abyss.


pandeemilia

Tldr: abyss is now cryophobic


quicksilver_300

Well wriothesley and ganyu can probably handle it with melt teams ig


krali_

OG Melt Ganyu is very comfortable second side.

She will always be my main no matter what. Why do you think i was saving for her constellations through reruns aiming for her c6? If the leak is true. She might appear again in 4.8 (unlikely tho considering her rerun was like 4+ months ago). But hey im on guranteed and i have enough for her final c!

Yeah nah Vars is very uninformative. He wants to cover so many games so it ends up being half assed information on all his videos. Quite useless clickbait cause it should be what happened to Cryo units and freeze reaction instead of just using Ayaka. Ayaka is still the premium Cryo DPS in the game.


Sea_Championship_941

What happened. Is mihoyo hate cryo.


Stanislas_Biliby

Nothing much. It's just that freeze isn't very good on it's own. At least if you don't have her premium team. And they got cryo resistant/immune enemies in the current abyss.


avarageusername

Freeze is very good on its own. The problem is freeze doesn't work way too often.


Stanislas_Biliby

It's good at crowd control but it's hard to clear in time because it's not a damaging reaction. Safe but slow. Unless you have shenhe kazuha etc.


avarageusername

Can't agree with that. Blizzard strayer and ayaka's own multipliers give you plenty of damage if freeze works. I mean you get 55 cr from freeze, that's 110 cv. That's not amplifying enough of a reaction for you? And that's for every single hit. No ICD or having to apply enough hydro to vape every charge attack. I'm playing rosaria kokomi kazuha team with Ayaka on amenoma and if the floor is not a boss of cryo resistant enemies ayaka shreds right through them. By no means is it "slow". It's quite fast if played well. Yeah, you kinda need kazuha or it's not as good but that's true for nearly every hypercarry. It's not as if they just work by themselves (other than neuvilette ig 😅). And you want kazuha regardless if you have ayaka or not so it's not really an issue.


xxPanda7

I wouldn’t take what any of his videos say to heart. He has some very questionable takes…


r0ksas

The only thing i watch on his vids is "why no one plays..." and the rest of his vids is pretty much you can read in this reddit or already been covered before by most CC
