On the one hand I agree, but on the other hand it's probably kinda mandatory to make these underwhelming reactions have any actual purpose.
Like if Emilie wasn't glued to Burning, she'd probably just be used in Quicken all the time instead since Burning fucking sucks by itself. Making her stupidly powerful in exchange for being glued to one shitty archetype seems like a fair tradeoff
>Mualani vape
This really isn't as bad as the others. Although Mualani is glued to Vape, it isn't because of any passive that says "Mualani can only deal damage on enemies with a pyro aura, and she deals one billion extra damage in these situations". Mualani is just glued to Vape because her damage is spread across 3-4 nukes, which you would obviously vape for maximum value.

>wouldn't it be better to just buff the underwhelming, shitty reactions instead of releasing bandaid characters that are glued to them?
...Yes, yes it would. But Mihoyo is allergic to that for some weird fucking reason, even after Superconduct has been dead for almost 5 years.
