The anime completely messed up Rashta's design...

Even if it's been a while since I'd read Remarried Empress, one of Rashta's most defining features was her strikingly silver hair. Her beauty was made to oppose Navier's, often compared to a "beautiful wildflower" despite the circumstances of her past, so to disregard that in her design completely sidelines an important aspect of her character, as well as her development.

I vividly remember that scene where she and Navier had both worn red gowns at the ball. It was a pivotal moment, signifying the rising tensions between the two as Rashta slowly rose to power. What started out as an innocent, moonlight beauty begins to evolve into a grandiose display of extravagance. You could say that while Rashta was forged in silver, Navier was refined in gold. A diamond in the rough, so to speak. IIRC, I believe this sentiment was also why Souvishou was so protective of Rashta? But I digress. We lose such an integral part of why she feels like such a threat to Navier's position as an empress, as well as what makes her such a compelling character. Her beauty is meant to conflict with her actions.

Anyway. Given what I've also heard about the director's past works being poor adaptations, I don't have much hope, y'all... 🫩 This was one of the first stories I had reading on Webtoon too, so I'm a bit disappointed.

TLDR; Rashta's redesign in the anime completely disregards a major part of her character in the novel and the webtoon.

New season, new people to deal with! I love it here.

This was a miracle. I almost gave up with how much our garuda and luban no.7 were feeding, but bless this liang for being such a clutch. I stuck by them the entire match, and I think that contributed to our miraculous win. Keeping liang alive was definitely crucial, but it was obvious sticking to those two was just pointless.

Who pings "play it safe, focus on farming," as they not only charge towards a team fight alone, but also lets themselves die to a tower? Multiple times?
Maybe these people were trolls, I don't know.

8 deaths. Fucking hell...

Should I finally invest in my S2 Changli?

SS is with S2 buff active. Otherwise, CR is normally at 51.1%.

I have her fully built at S2 with her signature. I normally have her with Carlotta in a quickswap team, but other than that, it's just her. I skipped out on monofusion way back, but now I'm wondering if I should invest in her since she's my only other MDPS with dupes.

I also have a lone Luuk Herssen and Aemeath, as well as Suisui... yeah, I know lol. But I thought it'd be a waste to just let my S2 Changli stick with no team.

For anyone who still runs her, would you say monofusion is still a fun team to play right now? Or should I invest in my other units?

This constant bot matching is close to making me quit the game.

Sometimes I wonder if Tencent knows their matchmaking system doesn't promote addiction or manage win/loss rates, but rather discourages players from playing at all.

I knew from the start that a match was filled with bots when all of my teammates didn't even have an avatar. Instead, they each had a generic nature profile, and when I checked a few of their backgrounds after the match, I see an 80%+ win rate? That can't be possible with that gameplay.

They all just kept circling around. Never engaged in fights, and as soon as they did, they'd just run away and I'd die instantly. I was going insane 😭 I wanted to surrender so bad, but because they're bots, there wasn't a single push to end the match when I tried to.

I usually only ever play with friends, but solo queuing has been a nightmare.

I attached some photos of what I found. This can't be normal, right?? Why is any of this even allowed?? I think I need a break from the game 🫩 I can't be bothered to play past Diamond if this keeps happening...

Who should I prioritize?

I primarily focus on dream realm, arena, and the afk stages. Shemira was an obvious choice for me, and the only reason why Indris has such a high weapon level is because I love him lmao. I originally had Daimon's weapon leveled up, but I switched it and gave it to Cyran because I saw someone had
suggested him as a "meta stable" choice.

Velara, Solise, and Galahad seem like good choices, and so do Perseus and Eironn... If you had to choose one person out of my collection to level up, who would you choose???
