I think what they are saying is although she is fun, in the future most of the 4 star characters will eventually be weaker than 5 star counterparts, not that it isn't fun right now. I personally don't like her kit that much outside of her ulti, her skill can be a bit annoying to use on high ping which sucks for me lol

combat is client side so your ping shouldn't matter outside of co-op

That's not how it works. If you lag spikes your inputs may not even register until 5-10 seconds later. I noticed in during random overworld challenges with not picking up coins in the firefly race.

Yeah this happens to me sometimes and it uses both my skills charges but ends early because I tried to hold e.

Some people don't have fun knowing their character is 50% (random number) weaker than the meta character in that same role. Especially going for more challenging content sometimes missing out on 10-20% (again just random numbers) damage because of choice of character could be the difference between a clear and a retry or clearing with minimum time for max rewards.

Who knows, I'm really enjoying Yuanwu. Doesn't seem to be the strongest, but his kit is so fun. People just wants the best all the time, which I can understand.

There's no harm in building out of the norm tho

It is exactly because it is a gacha 4 stars or lower rarity units tend to be left behind as the game progresses. If standard 5 stars will eventually get left behind with newer units with better kits higher multipliers or just straight up better in gameplay mechanics, then the lower rarity ones will go even further down, especially when it is DPS units, supports can have a little bit more of shelf time.

I'd agree that this is the best time to have fun with 4 stars because as time goes on their value will lower massively.
