Yeah if I recall correctly, overload damage is just awful, and is something you should actually try to avoid because it blasts all your enemies apart.
On another note, I decided to try a meme comp with all supports. Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Bennet with a 4th filler slot. Basically just spam bursts whenever they come up and use Bennet's ability to charge Xiangling's burst. And god damn, it just works. Even without a 5 star main dps they just crush everything. Managed to sneak out 2 more rewards from this Abyss before the reset using it.

Don't sweat the details!!!
I kinda run a star wars comp right now.
Mona + Beidou + Jean + Ganyu
Beidou counters (E) = jedi blaster deflect
Beidou Q active with Mona spaming normal attack and chain lightning going everywhere = Force lightning
Jean Q = force healing
Jean picking orb on c2 = Force speed
Jean E = Force choke + Force push and pull (also throw)
Mona water + Ganyu any ice attack = Force stun
Ganyu E = Mind control
Ganyu Q + Jean E = Force Crush

Mine is still not C6 and only c3. But he kinda sucks to play anyway.

It may scale a lot more from its base damage, but even if that is the case, its base damage is so shit it's still going to lose to any other reaction (which doesn't have the added "bonus" of mobs flying across the map), unless you have 70000 EM. Like, my Fischl has some 700 EM (which is far more than Fischl or any other character want, but that's the artifacts I got), overload hits are some pathetic 10k and obviously can't crit.
Compare that to melt/vape, which multiply your damage by some orders of magnitude and scale exponentially the more crit dmg and EM you get, and you can get why overload is a joke as it is.
I appreciate why Azhdaha looks the way he does after watching this video but god damn that Salamander looking concept art one looks cool as hell. I hope that gets in the game somehow.
TBF, reactions outside melt/vape favor builds that didn't get good cr/cd ratios, because they only scale with EM and character level. If you're a mega whale that can burn resin like there's no tomorrow fishing for that perfect artifact or got extremely lucky, melt/vape are insane reactions because of the nature of it. Overload is still shit tho, because of the knockback, but swirl and electrocharge are legit. Superconduct feels kinda meh but the lower phys res works nice for physical dps.
Yeah seems a bit risky for Mihoyo to release another cyro melee dps so soon after Eula, she seems to be attracting a lot of people to skip on her. We already have Eula as a physical dps and Ganyu as a wrecking ball of a cyro dps, what would Ayaka really even do differently to stand out over them?
I could be misunderstanding how her abilities work, but I think Ayaka is intended as a support DPS, where you pop her stuff and then switch to a different character. Compared to Eula, who is intended to be a main dps, or Ganyu, who can technically be both.
Although even by that logic, we already have Kaeya, Rosaria, and, to a lesser extent, Diona, who can all not only fulfill a similar role, but are much easier to acquire as well.

Also Eula is cryo dps as much as Razor is electro, let's say she is a physical dps able to put cryo debuff on enemies with E and deal *some* cryo dmg

Well i can see her rotation be a dash into a enemy at start --) 18% cyro damage bonus ---) Kamisator art (30% more on normal and charged attack 6 seconds) --) 1x charged then normal attack rotation (not sure the speed of attack, but you can probaly get this in 6 seconds) --) Dash to get cyro back --) normal attack till E is up --) E
C1 may be able to keep you from dashing once if cd resets before cyro infustion is gone.
I would have to test her 1.st to see how its her animation attack speed.
Don't sweat the details!!!
A number of other characters also have passives or constellations that buff their normal attacks, and people still use them as support dps. And outside of her dash, the bursty, fire-and-forget nature of most of her abilities seem more suited to a support dps, compared to the abilities of most other main dps-type characters, where they lose their effectiveness if you switch away from them.
Do we know what Ayaka's raw stats are like? I think that's the other deciding factor in what her role will be. Both Hu Tao and, obviously, Eula hit like goddamn trucks even without using their abilities, for example.
I didn't forget him, but I've seen more people use him as a main dps, perhaps partially because the way his abilities work make using him as a support awkward for certain types of characters.
