Waddup pimps,
To address the users that are disappointed when gacha characters appear or win on polls: I've decided to make this post to let you know my opinion on the matter.
If certain characters win, it's because patrons like you vote for them. If "classic characters" barely show up on polls, it's because they barely get suggested.
To help you understand better why I believe so, I'll give you the top character suggestions from my latest survey top to bottom, with their relative votes:
Blonde Blazer - Dispatch 9
Reze - Chainsaw man 8
Chloe 7
Lynae - wuwa 6
Ye Shuangguang - zzz
Invisigal - Dispatch 5
Lauma - Genshin
Lady Loki - Rivals 4
Emma Frost
Yidhari - zzz
Yixuan - zzz
Ahri - Lol
Beside Ahri (and Chloe I guess), I wouldn't consider any of these a classic character. Most of them are trending characters or characters that have been popular in the past 4 months.
There is clearly a good chunk of my supporters that like gacha games. In order to not have only gacha polls, I've made the Hot Coffee poll specifically not gacha, since the Bonus Stuff is a poll made by the legendary patron and not me.
With that said, interestingly enough, the character winning on the Hot Coffee is a classic character, but it was nowhere close to the top suggestions (1 vote).
In conclusion, if you want to see more classic characters appear in polls, maybe avoid suggestions that most likely will never make it, like "Bill Clinton" or other extremely niche characters. At least it will help me choosing among characters that aren't gacha.
Thank you for reading and expect new posts coming soon!
P.S. Why isn't Dispatch in the poll? The reason is simply because I'd like to play the game before making any Dispatch content. I'm actually surprised they still got these many votes since I barely see Dispatch art around nowadays.
P.P.S. About my OCs, I of course appreciate all your votes. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to their full artworks, so I'll draw them whenever I feel like doing so.
