So, what’s wrong with Mavuika?
Absolutely nothing.
And that, for me, is the problem.
From what I’ve seen online, the reaction to her release has been mostly positive, with a few small sections of the community feeling differently. And a lot of the discussion in those spaces in particular seems to be people just not understanding where others are coming from.
I don’t begrudge anyone who does like her, but I, unfortunately, do not.
Normally, when a character is not for me, I end up just skipping them and that’s that. A few times someone has asked me whether I ever have anything negative to say about characters — and while the answer is yes, I generally only review characters I have, and since I only pull for ones I like, I end up never creating content about characters that I don’t like.
In Mavuika’s case, many people seem confused why anyone would dislike her in the first place, and several have asked me why I'm skipping her. Since I don’t see much content which chimes with my perspective, for once it feels worthwhile for me to share my thoughts even though I don’t have her in-game.
