And when you say that a character may be released with future content in mind, they shut you down saying stuff like "copium".

I remember when people said that Yae and Kuki could be designed around dendro with their EM passives, and the doompsters called that copium. Or when they doomposted Kokomi because she was a healer and the the patch after they added corrosion (regardless of the fact that she was overall extremely underrated in regards to her other utilities too, but yeah).

It's not like Hoyoverse has NEVER released characters "ahead of their time", I'd even argue it's actually a common marketing strategy for them since it happens fairly often. The same's gonna be with Nilou, it's not that people are coping about her getting better with more dendros. It's basically a matter of fact, her kit doesn't require very specific dendro characters to shine. As long as they apply dendro, they're good for a Nilou team lol
