DUDE I WAS JUST COMMENTING ABOUT HER. Literally my jaw was dropped when we were going into the top 10 because she just kept not showing up!! This community has good taste
Love Hu tao, but beidou is one of those who feel like you can't hate at all. Personality, design. All of them are damn amazing, suit her character really damn well
@@Kyee124 she doesn’t even generate energy at C0. Like actually produces no energy particles. Would end up making her literally steal energy from your team lol. That’s somehow fitting to her character though.
Love how kokomi and zhongli having the same votes in most favs, since during her first banner, she was hated the most for being unnecessary and that zhongli is better.
Kokomi aged better thanks to Hydro being so strong and Dendro reactions relying on it. Zhongli has fallen off cuz Geo sucks and shielding by itself isn’t as good with Rifthounds being a thing.
I have raised her as well, and have no regrets about it. But I only use her in co-op, where I think she's much more viable due to her burst connecting to all four party members.
Mine at lvl8 friendship now. Grinding friendship points with faruzan, goro, and dehya. She's such an unreliable healer, and need a lot of uptime to works. Granted the team I use now are soo bad, I had to use physical faruzan to hit towers, mob, or balloon for commission 😥.
Even if someone doesn't play Beidou or like her kit... She's still bloody awesome I love her. Allegra is also a really good VA I love EN Beidou's voice.
Best Maid is best. All her downvotes were people too ashamed to admit that the Shield Maiden carried their accounts until they could pull Daddy Geo Archon.
Ah yes, Childe, truly one of the most polarizing characters in the game. #9 in favourites, #3 in least favourites. That's why his weapon is the Polar(izing) Star.
I predicted that characters like Yae, Wanderer, Raiden, and Childe would be high on both the least favorite and favorite lists. For them, it's sort of a you hate them or you love them situation, since most people either LOVE morally grey characters with complex characterization and interesting lore or hate them because *cough* war crimes. Yae would also fit into this list because you either love her crafty personality or want to kick her out a window. So basically, they have an equal amount of haters and... lovers.... (Oh god no) because it's just kind of a switch on whether or not you like the more morally questionable ones. Oh. And if you actually understand their story and characterization (please I've died more times than the amount of Samsara loops because of horrendous takes on these characters).
let's be fair here. raiden isn't morally grey character, she's just poorly written character. she haven't recieved punishment or at least some disapproval of her actions, she just left her country, caused many people's suffering and THE WAR, then was like 'but i have sad backstory actually' and suddenly became good. no remorse, no consequences for her, no one is blaming or think poorly of her. she has dead sister, after all!
The amount of times I've seen people try and clown on Miko with bad takes really makes me disappointed to see just how many people don't pay attention to the story or dialogue.
I mat ve the only one to appreciate his jokes, along with albedo. Good jokes don't need to make you laugh, but the way everybody else reacts is pretty funny
The whole time during the least favorite list I was like “Damn how could you dislike all of these characters” and when I saw Dori at No. 1 with 1k+ votes I was like “Yeah I understand that”
Hu Tao being number one was pretty predictable. I'm surprised that Ganyu was so low on the "favourites" list. I'm also surprised that Itto is the second most popular male. I thought for sure it'd be Xiao.
Ganyu fell off a lot since with release of Dendro the Freeze comps are very weak now due to Abyss having mostly bosses and not big amount of enemies with low hp to oneshot. She is also quite the boring "always tired overworked girl" stereyotype, and her gameplay does not suit most of people (especially the mobile users) I am not surprised she is low, she was only popular for high damage, like Hu Tao, but at least the latter had a whole event to boost her popularity even more
As a male, I'd choose dudebro over emobro any day, I think that's a factor on top of women's taste in husbandos. Itto is just that charismatic regardless
About Xiao and Itto take also in account the channel has Itto as its favorite character so the voters may be a little more likely to also like the character.
@@xurru9736 yeah since none of the Abyss buffs favor Cryo it's becoming less and less optimal to run ganyu. As of now In my opinion Tighnari outclasses her, for now
She's a very likeablye character, and honestly usable, but shes overshadowed by a character that came before her for that role +shes always stuck next to very popular and anticipated character banners so its hard to justify pulling her
Gameplay-wise, she has a lot of flaws, but she's pretty cozy to play with against boss enemies and small enemy groups. Especially ones that move around. Personality-wise, she's just a sweet gal that likes making people smile. Not super high on my list, but she does land around #8 or #9 for me.
Pleased to see how my girl Shenhe stacked up. She hasn't gotten any real story features outside of her intro quest, and she's a niche unit who hasn't gotten her rerun yet, and she still managed to pull a middle of the pack favorite score :D And she scored VERY low in least favorites, so very few haters out there :) Thank you to everyone who thinks kindly of her!
Cyno did a lot better than i thought! As a cyno main, seeing him be 21 in favorites and in the 40's for least favorite brought a smile to my face. I feel he is one of the most misunderstood characters, especially with his kit and how theorycrafters were saying Spread/aggravate teams when he really shines as a quickbloom driver.
Thank you for bringing that up 😭 It's sad that his first impression left a bad taste in some people's mouth and they're unwilling to give him a second chance
I was pleasantly surprised by Chongyun's placement in the favorites list but actually *shocked* by how many least favorite votes he got. I cannot begin to imagine what he did to deserve that. 💔 Probably the biggest surprise for me in the video, although Xiangling's low placement in the favorites list also took me by surprise.
exactly!!! How can he be the least favorite character for so many people, he is not that frequent in the game's story or meta discussions to even be annoying. I expected him to be low on favorite and low on hated, but he is about the same in the middle for both, like huh. Knowing that he is not popular at all I just assume people who wanted to vote for him as a "favorite" just misclicked and voted to a "least favorite"
Alhaitham being ahead of ayaka on both lists is kinda surprising to me, but i am very happy as i am an alhaitham lover. Also, ALHAITHAM TOP 10 FAVORITE LETS GOOOOO
He is this character that even if you dont like him, there will be a lot others who is worse. Also idk how someone can not like him he is so great with design, character, kit and story. even VAs did great job.
@@bazah23 yeah one of my biggest regrets is skipping him for homa but now i got my homa and am waiting for his rerun cuz hot damn his playstyle is super fun
I think there was definitely vote bombing for her, there's no way she's 3rd favorite. Probably a bunch of yoimiya players spread the word around to manipulate the votes
I would say getting high votes on the least favorite list is also an accomplishment on its own, showing that the character is at least noticeable. Seeing Jean so low on both lists just shows how "vanilla" she is when it comes to player recognition. Pretty happy Itto is so high on the list though, I am sure he was also high on least favorite list because he's been taking tons of screentime in 3.3 only to have more in 3.4. At least Itto appreciators are eating well during these periods 🥵 That white valentine art was just soooo good.
As a Yoimiya main it makes me so happy that Yoimiya was the standout performer in both the categories. She was #3 on Favourite characters list and #58 on least characters list. 🎇
I was suprised Hu Tao got first on ”most favourites”… Heard many people say they find her annyoing in the story. (I’m on the complete opposite side, as I find her chaoticness really funny. But eh, preferences I guess) As for Dori, I think it’s a combination of her bad kit and her very small part in the Sumeru story. Most fun interactions I’ve had with Dori was through other characters describing their encounters with her, for example in one of Tighnari’s voicelines. Edit: She’s definitely a character with a lot of potential. If only they gave her more screentime…
Dori’s English CA was hilarious tho I loved when she called Paimon “Princess Peabrain.” I couldn’t stop laughing for like 20 minutes the delivery was so good 😂
i despise hutao.. as a character, playstyle and most people that play her because 9/10 they've been hella rude. as for dori i despise her because she keeps coming home. i had her at c7 before i even had a different character at c6... like why
Hey every1! If the comment looks a bit different from how it looked before, it’s because I shortened it down slightly (by just removing one part I felt was unecessary) Putting this message here so the first initial comment doesn’t get clogged with ”Edit” after ”Edit” after ”Edit”..
Same reason most will vote for Xinyan/Dori. They don't hate the character (most likely) but they are forgettable and if you don't hate a single character you're most likely just going to vote for the character you forget even exists lol.
@@hedgehugs Idk, Xinyan's kit is kind of notorious for being underwhelming, and Dori has always been a pretty controversial character bc of her design. I wonder if it's more related to his infusion, like how people hate Bennett's c6.
Wow, I'm in awe watching the editing on this video, and I hope everyone can appreciate the time it must have taken! In addition, it's honestly very fun that we all can participate in the making of various videos as a community, and I hope you continue your hard work running the channel and discussing the game.
I think that the reason why certain characters are high in the "Least Favorite Characters" has also been influenced by the interpretation of certain characters in Fan-works and the groups in the fandom that almost share opinions, like possibly Aether being low in favorites but high leas favorites then his sister could be of interpretation that his character is given in certain fan-works (like the Aether Harem, such horrible thing, it ruins his character) and even factors like gameplay or even just disliking his design. For example, in the 2022 Touhou Popularity Poll, by the surprise of everybody, Flandre Scarlet ranked in the Top 1, this being thanks to her return and sudden role as the protagonist that fixed the incident in Touhou 17.5 and the music video Internet Survivor, while in other Popularity Polls, Reimu and Marisa were always number 1 and 2.
yeah the way the community portrays ayaka as a yandere made me dislike her -_- Sometimes if a certain way of a character in fan-works is portrayed annoys me I end up disliking the characters themself It’s just a thing I have
I had a hard time even thinking what my least favorite would be. Most characters I like at least 2/3 things between playstyle/kit, personality/backstory, and visual design. Seeing Dori at the top made me realize that she probably is the only character where I don't really like her for any of those categories 😆 I also never would have guessed there are so many people who see characters like Ayaka and Hu Tao as their LEAST favorite. They're pretty middle of the pack for me. Interesting to see somewhat strong negative opinions when there are so many fans of them.
Beidou carried and now half carrying me alongside Xiao everywhere. Also I love her personality, seeing her as the last ranked in the least favs is amazing🤩
Still a shame that every banner so far she’s been cursed with having somebody really sought after next to her or the next patch, otherwise I definitely would have her by now too
@@mrrayreptilesOVERx zhongli's an adeptus dragon and kokomi is a decendant of a dragon or whatever, i dont really know how to explain kokomi's situation but i think you get the idea.
@@mrrayreptilesOVERx It's so noticeable, tbh. Zhongli had a official Rex Lapis Dragon plushie that have been on sale for a really long time. No need to mention about his in-game full form dragon's appearances. Meanwhile Kokomi's in-game constellation format are literally sea dragon, and her constellation name were called "Dracaena Somnolenta" which can be translated directly into "Sleeping Dragoness".
Remember guys : this ranking doesn't determine anything, do whatever makes you enjoy the game. Other people's opinions shouldn't affect your preferences, and if anyone disrespects your favs, just flip them off 😘 (/j for the last part but you get the point)
@@user-cmcumm Lmao thats not how statistics works. I only learnt a bit about sample sizes as part of a research project i did a while back but essentially the larger the size of the population you are trying to determine, the lower a percentage of that population you need. You still need more obviously but it increases much slower than the actual value. This is because as the number of samples increases, the accuracy exponentially increases as opposed to the linear increase of the population you are trying to test. For example with a sample size calculator i found online, for a confidence level of 95% with a 5% margin of error, 500 needs a sample size of 218 while 500k needs a sample size of 384. Genshin's 50 million monthly playerbase only needs 385. Its actually crazy how accurate small samples are. (Technically its massive since 385 is a big number but 50m makes it look small)
Ahhh as a Yoimiya main I'm so happy to always see her ranked highly on lists like this and even if she isn't everyones favorite she is almost liked by everybody! :) Btw Ratheil, I don't know if you do your own editing but whoever does, it always looks great! Probably my fave of the Genshin ccs
That favorite/least characters countdown sequence was really awesome. Its curious that the positioning of the favorite characters is not more or less in the opposite in the least favorite characters, For example Hu Tao being 1rst place in the favorite list not being at the bottom 10 of the least favorite list. Wanderer that a intense love/hate relationship with the voters. I have fun with Dori in coop, applying electro status to my team.
It's about how controversial a character is, yaoyao is low on both lists because people simply don't care about her, while someone like itto will have a lot of fans and a lot of haters, because his personality is on the more extreme end which causes more extreme opinions
Kokomi and Albedo are my favorites by far (hard to choose one). To see Albedo where he was compared to other popular characters as a favorite was really cool! Overall, really awesome spread of stats
As a Xinyan main, I don’t understand how she can be so hated… She is so wholesome, was great in all the event stories she was part of and her kit is super fun to use when you build her properly…
She sings horribly, though. Her song in English was so bad, it breaks the immersion that she's supposed to be a popular musician. And, well, personally, didn't care for her trip down memory lane either in the summer event. But I do like playing her, and her personality outside of events.
I think I can explain Dori's position a bit, Being.... She's just not got a lot of likable traits. Her role in the story quest was scamming us, like you mentioned people find her JP VA grating, there's people who don't like how stereotypical and culturally insensitive her design is, and she doesn't have a place in the meta... That's a lot of things against her. It's not like she's a bad character exactly, just doesn't really have anything people would like her for. Personally, I don't feel that way towards her. Mostly because I don't really have a least favorite Genshin character lol
I’m honestly really surprised Raiden shogun didn’t win most favorite like she normally does in public community votes. It’s a pleasant surprise to finally have a new winner.
Wut??? Dori is most hated by a lot? That really surprises me. She's my healer/battery for Beidou and I been working on her quite a bit, she's quickly becoming my favorite coop character. And her with the event elemental mastery sword? So much fun.
What on earth happened with Dori? I voted off personality rather than gameplay, so I chose characters based on how interesting they were to me. I feel a lot of others didn't do that lol, poor Dori
Yoimiya being top 3 in favorites and then just 58 in the least favorite is just amazing. She deserves all the love in the world. But in reality, it's probably just in this community, no way she's actually more popular than Raiden, like, that's cap, even as a Yoimiya Stan. The only not surprising thing about this list was Hu Tao being #1. Like, she's got everything in her favor, quirky personality, being from liyue and having great voice actors make an amazing character, as much as I don't like to admit it. Amazing vid and I'm glad I was part of getting Yoimiya to that spot.
Raiden is far more hated by some people, and Yoimiya has very little to no negative things to be said about her. Even tho I like Ei, but imo, that's not surprising.
I feel bad for Dori. She is honestly a fun character to play and she's a pretty good healer tbh. Anyways, my favorite is a tie with Xiao, Mika, Yelan, Cyno, and Nilou And my least favorite is easily, even though he's not playable yet, Dottore
What I got from this is that meta isn't necessarily a huge proponent in most favorite characters but it is for your least favorite. I can't really think of a reason why Xinyan would be #2 otherwise (unless her english va lol).
@@kison7715 I loved when she took off her hairpins in the summer cutscene. On another hand, she said she had them bc she wants it and don't care about being disliked by others for her personnal choices. It would have been a more meaningful lesson if her kit wasn't so bad...
@@juiyersh3668 as far as i see, pretty much the majority including myself prefer her toned down hair the most. that hairstyle in her fanart band design was favored as well
great survey, thanks. the only thing I would like to see next time is the favourited elements / regions mentioned proportional to how many characters fall into each. for example, people like sumeru the least, but it also has the least characters. would just be interesting to see how balancing that out affects things.
i think a better way would have been to have people create a ranking from 1 to 64 from most favourite to least favourite. assign each place points like 1st place gets 64 points whereas last gets 1. then add all the point for each character and find out the exact ranking of every character.
Yeah. I think this was the best way for a sample size but positions as an optional second form called more detailed ranking could have made been alright. Though it's hard to say because I know my top 5(Eula, kewing, Fischl, Ganyu, Venti) and my bottom 3 (Dori, Shenhe, Nilou,) but ranking where I would put like childe or Sara I would have no clue for 90% of filling it out.
As someone who ended up voting Dori as least fav char, the only reason why was because I couldn't REALLY find any character unlikeable and yes even Dori. I felt like I was forced to vote someone and Dori was a char that hadn't much of screentime so she ended up with a vote.
Seing Kazuha and Kaeya so high on the "favourite" list makes me so happy ^^ But itto top 20 most hated... that's a big shock And I was hoping that more people would dislike Nilou like I do but I guess not lol
Kaeya being the fav 4 star and beidou being the least hated puts a smile on my face lol Although kaeya was ranked higher in terms of least favs, why he has more haters then fans TT lol , guessing that's mainly cuz of the notorious kaeya mains (me being shamelessly one of them) same goes for childe ig
YOIMIYA BETTER BE HIGH ON THE LIST!!! ( I just started watching :D 1:27) Edit: I saw the rankings 👀 WOOOOOOOOO!!! YOIMYA'S THIRD MOST FAVOURITE!!!! I call for a celebration! 🎉
dori is just one of those side characters that not many really liked and had no screen time and who had a vission that were made playable cuz every vission weilder thats alive, HAS TO BE PLAYABLE.
The reason many people hate Dori is because her outfit design is very orientalist and doesn't look like it's based on any irl ethnicity (there was a theory floating around that it's Tukish but the theory was looking kind of flimsy). I personally think it's a pretty outfit outside of the cultural context, but Hoyoverse should have designed Sumeru characters with more respect towards the region Sumeru was based on.
People that don't like Dori for that are kind of applying a standard for her that they clearly never did for any of the other characters in the game. The Japanese god has friggin thigh high socks with butterfly undies and a mini-skirt kimono (A lot of miniskirt kimonos in Inazuma lol), Xiangling is basically a chinese panda buffet girl (it's their country at least), and Mondstadt is a mishmash of several countries and cultures with weird rep that's honestly not dissimilar to Sumeru. I mean look at those ligerie witches they have running around. I think the companies melanin aversion is pretty weird, but they're not doing anything they haven't been doing for the games whole lifespan and they've made a super interesting and compelling area and great characters in Sumeru regardless.
@@shrimpchris6580 for chinese-inspired characters I think they're allowed to do whatever, because it's their culture. Japanese characters were written off because "well, they're steal east asians". But then not only they did similar type of thing to south-asian and north-african inspired region, they did it with less effort and research into lore (I mean the visual char designers, not the writers). At least Raiden has a semblance of a kimono, Nahida just has... a dress. It doesn't remind anyone of any clothes from the irl places sumeru is supposed to be inspired by. Yeah they say she's neon white because of a spirit she's based off of or whatever, but they could've done way more with her design. Same with Dori. She looks like an amalgamation of tropes popular among westerners, not something specific and authentic. Chinese people shouldn't be allowed to carelessly use the aesthetics of cultures that don't belong to them just because they're from Asia, they're still from another part of it. If a white-majority studio did that, I don't think as many people would defend them.
Completely unrelated but hearing Xenoblade music spread out into so many videos is satisfying as a long time fan. Truly a game with a masterpiece of a soundtrack. If anyone was wondering what the songs used in this video were: Frontier Village and You Will Know Our Names.
At first I didn’t understand why some characters got so high on the disliked list but then it clicked that there wasn’t a criteria by which to judge the character, like story, personality or gameplay so when I keep meta and losing 50-50 in mind it kind of makes sense now
I'm actually really shocked about Cyno and Bennett. I expected these two to be in mirrored positions at the least favorite poll And I'm really glad to see Yoimiya at the top! Building her is a lot of fun and rewarding!
She's the best overworld unit in the game since the majority of her dmg comes from her e (without side effects like hu tao) which is always available, no need to worry about er.
me seeing electro got 28% of the least favorite votes: I know what's happening here... Dori has a lot going against her including culturally insensitive source inspiration, the child body type, not being high in meta, and an annoying voiceline so I'm not surprised she's the most hated
KAZUHA #2 SPOT FOR FAVORITES LET'S GOO After all the backlash he got from the community prior to his release and some after, seeing him do a 180 just makes me happy lmao (even if that has been known for a long time now). I got him on his first banner and I'm on my way to C6'ing him, never regretted it. Also, this was a great video! The structure and editing was on point
If he was not meta he wouldn't be that high. Same for Dori, is she wasn't that bad she wouldn't be that low, because as a character she's not that bad, you can't say she isn't unique at least with that voice.
As one of the voters for Yaoyao I chose her because I have been waiting for her to release ever since she was shown in an illustration with Qiqi back in when the game came out
Can we talk a sec about that Tighnari into Nilou transition? Actually, a bunch of those clip choices and sequences, really. This video has to have been a bitch and a half to make, so thank you for that.
Thanks for appreciating it! I like to try to make nice cuts between the footage but when it's a fixed duration/forced order sometimes I just gotta pick a nice clip, but it's nice when I get the chance to make it work!
I'll never stop wondering why so many people dislike Diluc, lmao I mean I get it that he doesn't have a lot of fans but what's with all these votes for him as least favorite character? 🤨 Playstyle wise he's not a weak character and personality wise he doesn't seem to be as 'controversial' as Raiden/Childe/Wanderer 🤔ᴴᴹᴹᴹ
I don't know, if there was one character I wouldn't mind seeing knocked off their high horse or just down a peg, well, it'd be Childe. Actually, knock him down several pegs. Over and over again. But second on that list would probably be Diluc. He's ultra-serious Batman, but without the charming Bruce Wayne to balance him out. Why so serious, Diluc? He's also one of the worst standard banner five stars to get, being outdone by every other DPS five star, and close to matched by a bunch of the four stars, except those can transition to off-field roles, which he can't. Not that he's in the top five of my disliked characters. Personally, I think his kit is fun to play. But, I can definitely see why people are annoyed by him.
Since he's weaker than the other 5-star DPS's, people don't build him. And because people don't build him, it hurts a lot to lose a 50/50 to him. So pretty much the same reason as Qiqi. There might be some that don't like personality but I think that's probably less of a reason since I'm sure a lot more people dislike the personality of, say, Wanderer.
I hate batesque characters, that is why and it feels like mondsdat spends all of the time talking about him so the exposure only increments my hate. But he isn't who I voted for in the poll
