When I play as Poppy, even though I always use vintage to show I have mastery, and have the best trinkets possible, people still say "Sorry Poppy, no starters!" I get that you're trying to have a good team, but you have to realize, NOT EVERYONE THAT USES A STARTER TOON IS NEW. I swear people always look at the toon and never the trinkets. I try to host a run as a vintage poppy: Nobody joins. I switch to vintage Looey: Suddenly, the run is filled. And even when I try joining a run as a poppy, instead of hosting one: Everyone is running around the lobby trying to get me out once the run is full. I genuinely enjoy playing as Poppy, and I don't want to spend all the time I play as her doing solo runs. It really ticks me off, especially considering poppy's stats aren't even that bad if you have proper trinkets. Second of all, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PLAYING AS SHRIMPO?! The only 2 times I've played as Shrimpo in a public run instead of a solo, I got griefed and nearly the entire team had left. I get it, Shrimpo is a "bad advantage to the team". But again, the toon doesn't matter, the trinkets do! And I'm tired of Shrimpo players being treated like starters. Shrimpo is a toon made as a challenge FOR PROS. Just because he's cheap, doesn't mean its a new player behind that angry frown who brought him since they didn't know he wasn't a starter friendly toon. So you should actually be a bit grateful if a Shrimpo joins your run, because you know a pro is there. And last but not least, Boxten. He is as good at extracting as Shelly. He is not a bad toon to play as in any way, but because of everyone always leaving AT THE SIGHT OF BOXTEN, his extraction speed is always seen slower. Need I explain how OP his ability would be if it wasn't for starter rejection at sight, no matter the trinkets? It just makes me so mad, as there is NOTHING wrong with playing as these toons. If you genuinely like playing as one of these toons, I'm just letting you know, I'm with you! You go girl/dude! For people who like playing as these toons I recommend hosting a run as a main or your best toon (using trinkets that match the proper trinkets for your "Starter" toon, and then changing to Poppy/Boxten/Shrimpo in the choose your toon thingamajigy ♡(ӦvӦ。)
