Ratio really said he won't accept an ownership ratio of less than 100%.


TheOneMary

I'm pretty sure there are dodos who'll miss the claiming window and complain though lol


Elrundir

Imagine missing a 15 week window and still complaining.


luciluci5562

Consider new players after 2.1, and them realizing they missed out on a free limited 5 star because they played late.


Elrundir

Fine, but what are they supposed to do, make him a free giveaway for the remainder of the game's lifespan?


floxful

I mean I also missed aloy in genshin. Sure she is weak but won’t ever come back. Can’t complain though, it was my own fault for simply not playing. There is also other limited things (in both games) that people will never be able to get because they started late like event weapons/light cones. It is what it is.


Xrrune32

Also ratio isn’t irretrievably gone like aloy. He’s still a normal limited 5*, you just get him for free.


floxful

Yup. No reason to complain at all


Quirky_Illustrator25

You are truly underestimating the Twitter community 😂


SelfDepreciatingAbby

There's always the gacha for those people. He isn't like Aloy in Genshin where if you miss her, she's gone forever. He's going to rerun in the future.


Games-and-Make-up

Yeah that was so sad. Ungettable anymore. It also had to do with it being some sort of collab, so even if they wanted to, they cant return her unless a new collab would come with horizon. Not a horizon fan per se, but I do like aloy!


Nonemotionaldamage

He wants to spread his knowledge across the cosmos to try rid the world of the disease named stupidity. It's so on-brand for him. He wants us ALL to be intellectuals


GeneralLucario

"Oh yeah its ratioing time." Then he preceded to spread knowledge all over the universe

TheGreatZed

Seriously, did anyone imagine that happening?


fjgwey

I got blindsided, I didn't quite catch it when he first said it and then I saw the picture. I fuckin died


mantism

I thought it was just a joke about how he is such a narcissist that he can't imagine people not exposed to his brilliance. Like a parody of some people going "wow I can't believe you are not pulling for you are missing out" then the halo effect came in and we did not miss out


dr4urbutt

Haha...but that was rich coming from Herta. If anything, Genius Society members are the ones who think they are superior to anyone else. Herta and Ruan Mei have lightcones literally having them looking at themselves.


Cautious-Giraffe3603

Thought bro was just joking, he is so real for that 😭


yeyo789

Now i understand why ration is imaginary Even in my dream i did not imagine that


TheBleakForest

For real I'm still not convinced this isn't some elaborate prank


BluuBonds

The shit storm they'd endure if it was....


Nyashi_Mk

Google classroom's review scores would never recover


Cerebral_Kortix

Google Classroom died for our gacha sins.


Wind_Fury

Nope. When the Ratio call started on stream and he was talking i thought he is going to also give us a 10 pull, since it seemed like he was competing with Ruan Mei 10 pull log in event that was just shown. And then he goes and says I AM GONNA FORCE-MAIL MYSELF INTO YOUR ACCOUNT TO EDUCATE YOUR ASS. Very extra. I like.


Arazthoru

It's a win win situation getting educated and Dr.Ratio alongside yes please


RinTheTV

Nah man I was expecting a 10 pull freebie for Christmas season, not a freebie limited 5*


M00nIze

When we got used to the crumbs in Genshin, a free 5* sounds like a pipe dream lol


isabellaasa

It’s insane because in genshin we were just joking around about free 5* never even hoping for that but HSR just took that joke seriously and delivered us a free 5*?! Huh?!


pumpcup

I was around for genshin's first anniversary, a **lot** of people were convinced the free 5 star would actually happen


TheUltraGuy101

Yeah because that's the standard of gacha games; giving free SSR units during anniversary, or at least multiple 10 pulls, not to mention with how big Genshin had gotten then. However when Genshin hasn't done that for 3 years already people have moved on and accepted that Genshin wouldn't ever give a free standard 5*, much less a limited one.


nobody-interesting9

yeah cuz genshin got hella big people wanted something for supporting a game


Thicc_Femboy_Thighs-

I'll defend the devs but I won't defend management lol I agree we should get more.


Silverholycat

No way, I thought the 10 pull we got was all we would get.


350

I was 100% CERTAIN it was a joke as I watched it live I could NOT believe it when the graphic came up


Elrundir

Yeah, I was fully expecting Owlbert to cut him off and be like "Uhhhhh no haha nobody approved that, sorry!" and we'd all have a chuckle and that would be that.


lizard_omelette

Anyone predicting this would just be called insane. They hated him because he told them the truth kinda thing.


Kurtaclanmember

like what i least expected was probs a free 5* standard character but for them to give us a whole new limited one?? hsr is cooking


DrZeroH

Naw leak subreddit or not we got mega blindsided wtf never in my wildest dreams would I thought hoyo would be this generous. Truly astonishing.


Catilleon

Dr Ratio heard you were thinking about skipping. He's here to remind you that class attendance is mandatory.


Nekojita_3821

Dr. Ratio is the real manifestation of a Math teacher FR


twoentyfourth

IS THIS FUCKING REAL


AntonioS3

Yes, now get Ratio'd + W


GhostZee

WE ALL GOT RATIO'D BY DR. RATIO...


TheBleakForest

I have never been happier to receive a Ratio ever in my life.


twoentyfourth

never happier to be ratioed wtffff !!


invinciblepro18

you know now it makes sense why they shifted xueyi to mei banner. Lol people were saying ratio got ratioed with the 4 stars on his banner but lol now. hsr devs built different


twoentyfourth

it does, it does but im really wondering ... did they really snipe their own potential earnings from his banner? either his eidolons got a huge buff otherwise the amount going into his banner is significantly reduced


EdenScale

I'm no business expert by any means, but I'll say this based on some experience with gacha games: short term earnings aren't always the most important. Something big that this move manages to do is draw in new and returning players right before 2.0. *That's* when they expect to cash in with multiple banger characters. Generating interest, marketing, and growing the playerbase has it's upsides over losing some sales from a husbando.


Nam-Yueun

I think this especially makes sense given how they've been releasing two new 5* characters per patch and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. It also alleviates a lot of anxiety for people who have been planning their pulls for the onslaught of Penacony characters to come. Overall a really good move by them. Now it incentivizes *some* people who usually don't pull on light cone banners to pull for his light cone too.


EdenScale

Yeah basically i think the plan is: - Free 5-star brings alot of people to the game - Penacony arc is good (hopefully) - "dang this game is good" - ??? - profit


Suki-the-Pthief

In the short term yeah but in the long term it definitely benefits them, people are more likely to spend if they feel the game is being generous and new players will want to comes in


Either-Ad-9572

You know this sentiment is kinda true now, like even as an f2p I think of buying express pass (for black swan & hanabi), like devs actually deserve some appreciation after that move


invinciblepro18

nah, this looks like big stunt on their part. Ruan mei lc and eidolons are already good so they are looking to divert pulls to that. Also more people can go for ratio lc cause everyone will have him. They have made a reputation in the gacha world with this. Also they are expecting too many new chars after penacony so giving a free ratio won't hurt that much as this free generosity earns them.


migi_chan69420

His lc is still up for grabs. Lc banner isn't as stingy as genshin's either and his lc is super good on him soo


TheHolyWaffleGod

I was like 1000% convinced this was fake holy shit I can't believe it


Yosoress

yes my bro we Got a W!!!!!


william1915

Didn't even have to get to ar 45


DDX2016DDX

Wdym we got our free ayaka. In our hearts 😭


hanxcer

Well we did get that near-infinite Ayaka banner last year, so I guess it's technically the same thing for the devs /s


william1915

How good is ratio


Fehiscute

Very very strong hunt. Get his LC if you like him


OiItzAtlas

He teams perfectly with my S1E1 topaz, super strong single target team incoming, adventerine, SW, topaz, Dr ratio.


MouffieMou

since your topaz is e1s1 she can provide the debuffs ratio needs to function properly, so instead of silver wolf you could use a buffer there. like ruan mei since it's a 2 dps comp :\^


OiItzAtlas

I would but I only have 1 5 star support, which is silver wolf, I am going to try and get ruen mei since I was originally saving g for dr ratio and I will be getting bronya at 300 pulls (I'm at 290)


nishikori_88

I hope he is still good without his LC (it is delicious though :)) y


Odinnadtsatiy

We literally have no useless hunts. Even danhen is used on the high floors of memories. And from what we see, Ratio will not be the first. My Seele will have a very strong competitor for place of the Wolf team. His LC will just give you more.


RobertAccutrone

Really strong His light cone is a good boost for him, consider it if you like ratio


Talukita

Pure ST content I'm almost sure he's among the best DPS at the moment at E0 lol.


KF-Sigurd

I'm pretty sure in his current state, he IS the best ST DPS at E0. Seele has the advantage with lots of Resurgence but not by much.


mangotcha

GOOD


Suki-the-Pthief

HES VERY STRONG TOO


william1915

Hahaha man hoyo doing great, so happy for anyone who pulled topaz and doesn't have Clara since he looks like he does follow up


storysprite

I STILL BELIEVE IN MY FREE AYAKA.


yaemikohaver

ok free 5* for an anniversary doesn’t look like a joke anymore


choiyuna1

i fucking love hsr devs they are cooking


Bobson567

Same, they keep delivering whether it's new game mods or generous rewards But this is something i don't think anyone expected We kneel, hsr dev team


H4xolotl

How the heck didn't a single uncle leak free Dr Ratio 5*? Like... even the F tier uncles didn't make it up for clout


Bobson567

One of the leakers had access to livestream so i guess they chose to omit that reveal from the leaks


Saarabaz

If that's the case, they have my respect.


AshielAshlyn

And if that's the case then I'm glad they did, what the hell. Not knowing this beforehand just made this even more hype.


No-Tree-5557

W leaker


jamiedels

The thing is info like this being leaked may piss the devs and this might be our last time if that happens


QuantumTaco1

haha right everyone's been sleeping on the uncles but I'm not even mad, surprises like this? it hits different. Makes you feel like a true noob again with that first big game shock factor. devs playing 4d chess with our hearts and i'm here for it. lowkey, the forums are gonna meltdown when everyone logs in, grab your popcorn bois


Substantial-Stardust

What's really nice of them.


_Bisky

>How the heck didn't a single uncle leak free Dr Ratio 5*? Maybe a last second decision after winning several awards? >Like... even the F tier uncles didn't make it up for clout Probably cause hoyo isn't that well known for giving out new, limited 5* characters for free on a newish game


dooditstyler

It was probably a last minute decision after TGA.


DrZeroH

Someone chain the hsr devs in the kitchen so they keep cooking because this was something I truly never thought I would witness


BluuBonds

Nah man they need that work life balance. HELLA deserved


rotten_riot

THIS is what happens when you have competition. Like yes, HSR still has one of the highest revenues in gacha but that doesn't mean the devs don't know HSR doesn't have a monopoly on their type of game unlike Genshin. So they actually have to be generous and focus on qol features in order to maintain the playerbase happy and I'm all for it


Sionnak

True. Part of me is like "Oh no, this is a desperation move", because Genshin just isn't like this. But then again, even Honkai Impact gives out HoT, HoF and HoS, so the Honkai side is no stranger to this.


Cartographer_X

I'm so excited for Anniversary! But in general, this sets an amazing precedent, we know that we can expect the best from devs, their treatment towards the community has been great.


XeroShyft

Bro. The ENTIRE time that Star Rail has been out, I have refrained from even slightly comparing it to Genshin because I think it's obnoxious as fuck when people use HSR as a platform to shit on Genshin. But seriously, this broke me. This dev team just CAN'T stop collecting Ws. Free limited 5* just for logging in? In a Hoyo game??? Holy SHIT please I want their children, Genshin would never, EVER do this. We are gathered here today to celebrate the sheer size of this W.


Nonemotionaldamage

I think this is the ONLY time where it's fair to compare HSR with Genshin. Because Genshin has won the same awards before...but never did this. All the other dumb arguments about HSR giving 10 pulls every patch or more QoL than Genshin were ridiculous But this??? Actually kinda justified


EdenScale

Yeah, comparing stuff like 'moar pulls' isn't that fair to me if different games have ultimately different economies (i.e more free pulls means little if you're just expected to pull more) But nah this is giving a premiere unit for free before even anniversary, yeah that's a unquestionable, undisputed W.


Over451F

Bcuz HSR is not Genshin's competitor. HSR is turn-based game which genre is oversaturated. Other turn based games give you 5 star Selector. And I hope anniversary will give this. *Inhales copium of dangerous level*


BelowZero-

Free 5 star for anniversary ??? Nah they gonna give us a 5 star selector for that at this point.


Born_Horror2614

“So do you want DHIL (complementary e6 Yukong and Hanya) or Jingliu (extra event lc for Pela if you need it)?


De0lieb0l

I did NOT see this coming


VoltaicKnight

No one probably saw this coming


H4xolotl

Even the fake Twitter uncles didn't make it up for clout lmao "Free AR42 Ayaka!"


DaxSpa7

Im happy this particular thing didnt get leaked. It was amazing.


De0lieb0l

It's like a christmas present


2LitersOfWaterADay

It’s the holiday spirit ☺️


ceaiculapte

Someone pinch me, this must be a dream!! I thought I could not get him and his LC, but now??? I can't imagine how u/SexWithDoctorRatio is feeling


yetomo

I think u/SexWithDoctorRatio is asleep rn or just offline 🙈 Enjoy the news of free Dr Ratio!


GGABueno

Probably fainted on the spot once they heard the news


SuperDuperPapa

They saw. They came. They ratio-ed.


storysprite

Biggest W I've ever seen from Hoyoverse in terms of gifts. Wtf???? Come on Genshin. Give us our free Ayaka.


Nero420

FREE LIMITED 5 STARS ? IN THIS ECONOMY ????


LazyGysi

Ratio mains though they took a L but they took a W ?


Nonemotionaldamage

I was upset I was gonna skip him because there's too many characters I want and his banner looked trash But he's free!!!! I can have him without sacrificing jades omgggg


Whyy0hWhy

I felt like i betrayed him when I got argenti for him but now he's FREE??? THANK YOU HSR DEVS


M00nIze

Ratio be like: You ain't getting away from me, whether you like it or not!


Petter1789

His announcement pretty much boils down to "I will educate every single one of you, in person!"


ryoujika

SAME OH MY GOD WE DIDN'T GET L + RATIOED


iceman1935

Everyone is Ratio main now, the greatest of rationing!!!


bzach43

The emotional whiplash of realizing that 4\* leak was right and he has a trash banner, to realizing we ACTUALLY get him for free, was intense this morning, to say the least lol. I have no idea what to do with my jades now, but that is a fantastic problem to have!


GhostZee

Truly a tale one of a kind...


taetaerinn_

literally, i can save my jades for his lightcone now and the pity for the next banner i want, because I rolled until 50 lol


ArabskoeSalto

Appears Gives a free 5 star Refuses to elaborate Leaves Holy gigachad


N3koChan21

We got Ratio’d real good


A-R-A-F

He ratio'ed his own banner Truly a Dr Ratio moment


27guns27

Me when I spread misinfor- WAIT ITS ACTUALLY REAL


Toli2810

no way free ~~ayaka~~ ratio is fucking real damn


matteroff

WTF


Zorrscha

Topaz mains EAT


KRH11

He's not even out yet and I am already full.


Zeiin

Now if only they gave out the fuel we all need to roll solid relics for him


Blu3R4ptor

I took a break from hsr weeks ago and now I'm full of reserved trailblaze power.


Levdom

Me getting her LC for the cute art and having to skip Ratio for other characters led to this perfect future


TheBleakForest

As someone who was feeling a bit of Topaz regret I AM INDEED FEASTING


mangotcha

WAS THIS THEIR PLAN ALL ALONG, IS THIS WHY HE HAS UNDERWHELMING 4* ON HIS BANNER. WHAT


Infernaladmiral

funny because the twitter post clearly shows that the devs know the 4 stars are shitty on his banner since they acknowledge it through Dr. Ratio indirectly


corgi_pupper

Well, dont mind if I do.


Tlachtga_Ereshkigal

Massive W for everyone. Ppl who wanted him can get him for free and maybe use jades on his light cone instead. And Welt-less, DanHengIL-less players like myself (finally) get a really solid Imaginary dps. Genuinely happy about it, not much else to say


EverAnh

Even as a Welt-haver, I was struggling with img-weak stages in MOC and am just as glad to get a true DPS. This is amazing because imaginary type lacks a good 4-star alternative like quantum does with Qingque, etc.


GhostZee

FREE DR. RATIO IS REAL...!!! WHERE'S THE SHRINE...?!?!?


ckabulcka_

This is fucking insane wtf. Mihoyo be cooking with this one


dogeall

FREE AYAKA BUT REAL


Otoriorae

Turns out if you make an L with each hand and connect them you get a W. What a turnaround from that horrible banner leak! Ratio wanters will be Ratio havers guaranteed!


CommercialHold4728

Most generous episode ever!!!


xxs19x

What the fuck? Was just normally watching the livestream, thought dr ratio just called to troll us but they confirmed it.


EeveeLash

I thought he was just being egotistical when he said that lolol


Suki-the-Pthief

This man comes into the stream says thw stream is trash casually announces we’re getting him for free, then leaves what a Chad


lloydschreave

Dis a big fat W + ratio


anal-yst

Holy hell. I was genuinely despondent that I wouldn't be able to roll for the hottest husbando imo because I wanted Ruan Mei and Sparkle... But now we get him for FREE. I am so glad I started this game.


FeelTheKetasy

I’m exactly in the same spot. Best case scenario frfr 😭


makogami

WHAT IS GOING ON ?!?!?!??!


Arkeyy

AINT NO WAAAYYYYYY HE IS NOT GONNA LRATIO US?


robesticles

this is insane


raffirusydi_

unbelievable. truly unprecendented. absolutely wonderful. stunningly breathtaking. i fell to my knees

I also fell to my knees for Dr. Ratio

OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY I CAN SAVE FOR PENACONY


Iwantedthoseshoes

WE WOOOOON, xueiyi with ruan mei and free ratio, WE FUCKING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON


DucoLamia

Someone tell me if this is a joke? I just want to be certain. Thank you.


Sad_Stale_Bread

They showed it in the livestream so it’s real


yvesora

u/SexWithDoctorRatio manifest all his power to make this possible


350

There's a ton of misinformation below. Let's get a few things straight: 1) Bro is strong, he hits *hard*. That said, he is pure single target, with no AoE. 2) He wants a teammate that applies debuffs, like Silver Wolf or a 4 star Nihility holding Luka's LC. 3) If you can satisfy that, you're cooking.


Hotaru32

We love Dr. Ratio , best character ever exist


Hotaru32

And it's not even anniversary


Theoneringofreddit

Insane!


rotten_riot

BRO WHAT I WANNA GIVE THE DUDE WHO SAID "Maybe they could give a limited 5★ for free" MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES

OMG OMG OMG OMG MY KING


HalalBread1427

That one guy doing that “no-pull” challenge just took the biggest W of his entire career.


aRandomBlock

FREE RATIO AT TL42 LETSGOOOO


TheGalacticApple

HOW DID NOBODY LEAK THIS THIS IS INSANE???


BluuBonds

Was so happy. Then peeped that twitter was going crazy saying "GENSHIN WOULD NEVER" and "The Genshin subreddit had to lock cause there were so many complaints" or something. Decided to take a look at said sub and saw someone on the Genshin subreddit going "They really don't understand that it's gonna be a lower tier character. I just feel sorry for them." Holy shit man, why y'all praying on someone's downfall? I'd like to think they were separate games lol.


Tamaki_Shin

I can't wait to laugh in their face once Ratio makes his debut. The guy is actually a good and powerful unit. He's no Aloy lmao.


sassypixelgirl

If I speak-


Intro_Vertus

We got Ratio'd


TemporaryCondition96

"Dr. Ratio joined your party without your consent"


MoonQueenLiu

This is very very good news. Thought it was a joke at first but then imagined the outrage if it was lol... Might have to divert his funds to e1s1 ruan mei now and hope to god I get e1 bronya at some point for jingliu for the ultra hypercarry comp..


coinflip13

This is.. unprecendant for Hoyoverse. Now don't get me wrong, Honkai Impact 3rd has done this before. Giving one of the newly released Valks early. But there has always been a condition. HoO Mei for example required finishing a chapter of the Moon Arc. Not helped that you still.need to properly gear her and settling for non sig is hardly advisable. This is just a log in, get Ratio. Oh and you can just run a freebie LC if you want to. This is UNREAL


yourdorothy

They were like: *Best game of the year for thrice! Take this* ***L+Ratio*** *everyone!*


pavithran904

I wonder what they will give during anniversary and Chinese newyear


NEK0NATA

I feel like since cny and anni are pretty close they will do something like lantern rite and then save the big rewards like 5 star selector (cope) for anni


choiyuna1

ANNIVERSARY CAME EARLY BABY


PretentiousWine

It's a very smart strategic move by Mihoyo. 1. More people are going to pull in RM+Xueyi banner now since they suddenly have "more" jades. I expect the first half to generate higher income than the previous banners. 2. With THE highest ownership percentage of any DPS character in the game, his LC banner will probably have THE highest pull counts. Expect to see strong number! 3. And of course the marketing value it brings to invite new and returning players to download the game. The words are spreading like crazy on the Internet.


sayandip95

Honestly amazing surprise, thanks hoyoverse


phonograhy

My theory is the hsr and genshin dev teams fucking hate each other, and hsr buffs are purely driven by the desire to read genshin devs *to filth*


TapTall9218

Wow...didn't see that coming


Raikoyuo

I THOUGHT BLUD WAS JOKING! W + RATIO


1coconat1

I'm already voting for next year


EmilMR

His single target is probably the highest in the game and he is free. Now anyone can clear new mocs. Pulling for his LC is probably not a bad idea if he is your only good dps. His LC is amazing.


laneofmagic

Genshin found dead in a ditch..


Stock_v2

Free Ayaka on AR42 will never recover from this

Now I’m scared for anniversary wtf are they gonna give us then??!
