** Her infamy stems primarily from all of her banner runs being poorly timed, leading to many players to joke that she's that one 5★ that nobody ever pulls for: on debut, she was sandwiched between Ayaka[[note]]She was the game's only Inazuman character available in closed betas, allowing her to [[EnsembleDarkhorse accrue a small following of her own that exploded not long after Inazuma's reveal]][[/note]] and the Raiden Shogun[[note]]The nation's Archon, and one of the longest-anticipated characters, for both her [[GameBreaker strong kit]] and [[MsFanservice fanservice]][[/note]], which only signified trouble; but most notably, Sayu, a 4★ unit, [[EnsembleDarkhorse received high acclaim]] on realease, was ran during her banner, with people even joking she was the real 5★ instead of Yoimiya. When her first rerun came in v2.8, it was just after the long-awaited rerun of Kazuha (a.k.a. [[GameBreaker one of the most powerful units in the game]] as well as a fan-favorite, who had ADayInTheLimelight that same update) and her rerun being right before the release of Sumeru and the Dendro element as well as the rerun of Zhongli (another fan-favorite and a strong support unit). The worst part, however, came in v3.2, where she was reran alongside Nahida, who not only is the ''Dendro Archon'', but had received a drastic boost with the reveal of her awful backstory, being seen as TheWoobie by many. And to make it worse, Yae Miko and Tartaglia would come afterwards (the former of which even got buffed by Dendro). v3.7 did throw Yoimiya a bone with a second story quest[[note]]Being, in fact, the first non-archon 5★ character to receive one, and it having a ''huge'' ShipTease moment with the Traveler[[/note]], but she still got a little bit of ridicule for being reran alongside fan-favorite Yae Miko, [[GameBreaker game-breaking]] Alhaitham, and Kazuha (who's ''[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs both]]''); in fact, [[https://genshinlab.com/genshin-impact-revenue-chart/ according to sales charts]], her third rerun barely sold better than her initial run. Finally, her status came roaring back with a vengeance during v4.3, where she was placed after Ayaka again along with the anticipated Navia, and shared a banner phase with Raiden ''and'' right before v4.4, which saw the release of UnexpectedCharacter in Xianyun, a.k.a [[PromotedToPlayable Cloud Retainer]].

I find that most of the time it's really just because more people use Aether so more people view him as the FRAUDVELLER

* '''Diluc''' was once seen as an example of a HighTierScrappy during the launch days due to how much higher his damage was compared to the other options at the time. Nowadays, he's seen as a good example of how bad power creeping units are, as he's now seen as [[OvershadowedByAwesome outperformed]] by other frontline [=DPS=] characters, even the 4★ Yanfei.



* But ''no other character'' has suffered from this status as much as '''Yoimiya''' has.

** Disregarding her unfortunate banner timings, in terms of gameplay she was initially seen as [[LowTierLetdown a waste of a 5★]]; despite her insane damage, she relies on infusing her normal attacks through her Skill to deal damage and her Burst, a large source of her damage, has [[HitboxDissonance an infamous tendency to whiff]]. Fortunately, time would be kind to her with the release of other units that improved on her flexibility; however, the release of none other than ''[[EnemyMine Arlecchino]]'' in v4.6 has served as a final nail in the coffin for Yoimiya, being a unit that also relies on normal attacks but suffers from no auto-aim issues due to being a polearm, which has led many people to argue the Knave has {{power cre|ep}}pt both her and Hu Tao.



* '''Yoimiya''' has developed infamy among the playerbase for all of her banner runs being unfortunately timed. When she first debuted, she was sandwiched between Ayaka[[note]]She was the game's only Inazuman character available in closed betas, allowing her to [[EnsembleDarkhorse accrue a small following of her own that exploded not long after Inazuma's reveal]][[/note]] and the Raiden Shogun[[note]]The nation's Archon, and one of the longest-anticipated characters, for both her [[GameBreaker strong kit]] and [[MsFanservice fanservice]][[/note]], which only signified trouble. When her first rerun came in v2.8, it was just after the long-awaited rerun of Kazuha (a.k.a. [[GameBreaker one of the most powerful units in the game]] as well as a fan-favorite, who had ADayInTheLimelight that same update) and her rerun being right before the release of Sumeru and the Dendro element as well as the rerun of Zhongli (another fan-favorite and a strong support unit). But this was nothing compared to v3.2, where she was ran alongside Nahida [[spoiler:the ''Dendro Archon'']], with Yae Miko and Tartaglia coming afterwards (the former of which even got buffed by Dendro). Though she recovered for a while in v3.7 after receiving a second story quest[[note]]Being, in fact, the first non-archon 5★ character to receive one, and it having a ''huge'' ShipTease moment with the Traveler[[/note]], she still got a little bit of ridicule for being reran alongside fan-favorite Yae Miko, [[GameBreaker game-breaking]] Alhaitham, and Kazuha (who's ''[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs both]]''). This status then came roaring back with a vengeance during v4.3, where she was placed after Ayaka again along with the anticipated Navia, and shared a banner phase with Raiden ''and'' right before v4.4, which saw the release of UnexpectedCharacter in Xianyun, a.k.a [[PromotedToPlayable Cloud Retainer]]. Being overshadowed so many times with ill-timed appearances has led to Yoimiya gaining a reputation for being that one 5★ that nobody ever pulls for.
