Foreword: The original god has an old saying that the strength party is struggling, and the XP party takes what it needs; and since the opening of the service, the "next version" has always been the biggest motivation for players to do daily and liver exploration. After more than ten versions, large and small, the dispute between the Strength Party and the XP Party has never stopped, fortunately, the painter is top enough, no matter how low the popularity of the male and female characters is, you can always find a handful of die-hard fans (the back row confesses Xin Yan). On January 5, version 2.4 was updated, and the "Liuyun Borrowing Wind True King Body", which had been misinterpreted by players for a long time, was finally finally launched in the image of Shen He. However, what I did not expect was that the characters who were given high hopes by players did not perform very optimistically.
XP Draw Card Waterloo! Shin Ho debuted for less than 3 days, and his popularity was exploded
As the first 5-star female character in 2022, we see too many "explosive points" in Shen He: Co-co-C (see early article analysis for details), the backstory is deep enough (the goddess splits directly to set up Shen He's people), the scarce positioning (ice special aid), and most importantly, the appearance is high enough. And it is such a little wife who has been described by the bullet screen as "growing up in my XP multiplier", or it is not as good as the white moonlight in the hearts of more players - fish.
According to the statistics of the well-known foreign original God System data website "Paimon", a total of 21720 players drew Shen He in the short term after the launch of the service, which is about one-third less than the popularity of the 32911 fish. In contrast, in the same period last year, the phenomenon-level data created by Gan Yu was enough to throw Shen He a few streets.
If this data can mainly represent the habits of foreign players, then the dismal flow of the original god flow at the end of the national service IOS is the second ironclad evidence. On January 5, Shen He only touched the tail of 1 million people, and even less than the heart sea and the desert. It is worth mentioning that, according to the wind direction of the forum, players generally believe that Aratatsu is not worth smoking, so there is a high probability that there is no argument that "the previous version was squeezed dry by the pool".
UP Pool Ever The Worst TOP3? Shen He's water was dismal for reasons to guess
Theoretically, after having a double up pool mechanism, the flow estimate alone is no longer enough to rank a role. In the author's impression from the beginning of the service to the present, there are only three characters who can break the wrist with Shin Tsuru in terms of low popularity: Abedo, the first generation of Mukoto, and Arataki Kazumi. Abedo was not optimistic because of his airborne identity, chicken rib attributes (of course, now very strong) is forgivable, Gongzi, Arata Kazudou because of his boy positioning is not very pleasing to male players can also be understood, then what about Shen He?
According to the author's guess, there are two reasons: first, Shen He is excellent, but players are more willing to pay for the more familiar and comprehensive production of "fish" to make up for the regret of not smoking before; second, the 2.5 version of the Yae Shenzi is close at hand, and most players want to save the rough stone for the Spring Festival version that cannot be lost.
Summary of personal analysis
Another saying goes: strength is precious, XP is more expensive. There has never been anything wrong with this sentence, although in 2022 the current strength party has no reason to abandon Shen He and choose "Fish", but why is it not the XP (both men and women) of most players? But we can rest assured that whenever there is a slippery slope in the direction of the version and the reputation of the character, the planner will most likely choose to push out some characters whose strength and appearance are online to save the scene, such as the Yae Shenzi who will meet with us in February, and the civilian players will wait and see its accuracy than rush to act steadily! In the end, who did you choose between "Fish" and Shen He? Did you expect the popularity comparison between Shin Ho and "Fish"?
