How do the changes to Yae Miko affect her gameplay in Genshin Impact?

Genshin Impact has had a bit of controversy lately with Yae Miko. Yae was teased in the version 1.5 stream, and since then, players have been waiting for her official release. When it came in version 2.5, many fans noticed that Yae wasn't panning out how they had hoped, leading HoYoverse to try to fix her.

Yae's totems will now only target the closest enemy and not apply Electro to a group of enemies at the same time. This is especially bad ,as her C2 actually increased the range of the totem by 60 percent, allowing for a broader attack. Now that the totems only target what they are closest to, her second constellation is essentially useless.

In addition, Yae still has a long setup time with her totems and no invincibility frames while placing them. The only thing that is fixed is her not targeting reguar objects, such as campfires, instead of enemies. But due to the proximity tweak, she is now an even weaker unit, and players who paid for her constellations aren't happy.

HoYoverse did note that they are closely watching feedback on Yae and are open to working with her more.
