Doorman has glowing eyes, keyholes all over his suit and a unique sprint form.

I agree that she prob has way more to her, but Doorman did have lots of appeal even without context or a kit.

Two can play that game

Violet have a bunch of strange drawings (including Rem) and the fact that she's literally going in an active battlefield with just a brush....

If you guys are gonna complain, at least complain about her boring face type and voice, not whatever bs that Paige never received for being even worse than Violet in those regards

Paige did not have remotely the same level of competition Violet is having now when she came out.

The entire point of the voting system is that we have not the slightest idea of the in depth kits and mechanics of these characters, and we're choosing off of first impressions alone.

The other five are immediately interesting on paper and it's not difficult to come up with ideas of what they could do without drifting too far into hypotheticals, so they have a good first impression, and naturally people will gravitate towards that. Violet is not so much on that same level, hanging completely on a "maybe" of what she might actually be. We could come up with theories like oooo her torn poster must mean she's some sort of demon or whatever, and look at that she has a drawing of Rem that's gotta be important but that's all very far fetched speculation. There's no doubt she'll be just as cool as the others when she comes out but let's not pretend like she's super eye catching compared to the others she's up against.

Exactly, which is why it's silly that people are suddenly talking about as if Violet being "just an artist" is an issue or "doesn't fit in deadlock" when there are many other existing characters that are in the same ballpark as her.

If we're gonna talk about her; call it what it is instead of making up other selective reasons that could apply to a lot of other characters

tbh I was initially underwhelmed by Paige when she was first shown off, but I ended up really liking her character so I'll give Violet the chance too.

Im not disagreeing that she could be very intresting, I said that.

I was disagreeing that doorman looked completely normal and not unique or whatever

you're gonna have to do better than that. "artist has paintbrush" isn't very interesting.

Neither is girl with a gun/book

Unfortunately for violet fans, those aren't the characters she's up against.

u/Horror_Prior4765 The Doorman 14d ago

Yes but at the end he’s still a regular doorman which we had no knowledge of knowing his orgin from. There was no way you would guess what he is by that plain appearance.

In the vote what we saw was an otherwise normal doorman with glowing blue eyes and a bunch of lock and key motifs with the tags "Disorienting, Map Control, Mind Games", it was not hard to guess he was going to be some sort of supernatural entity in disguise even if nobody knew what the specifics would be.
