Why Borderlands 3 Fans Hate Ava Explained In Detail

From being a do-nothing brat to literally getting a beloved hero killed, Borderlands fans hate Ava for some very good reasons. via Reddit Ava This is why all Borderlands 3 fans hate Ava. First, this is spoiler territory, so if you haven’t played the game or are still working your way through the campaign, you might want to skip this one. But come back, because you’ll probably want to have a thorough explanation for all the rage you’re feeling against this snot-nosed brat. Now that only those of you who’re aware of the terrible consequences of Ava’s action remain, Ava sucks. That we can all agree. But the detailed reason as to why she sucks can be provided thanks to Reddit user , who writes with the air of an author. Head on over to the Borderlands 3 subreddit post for the detailed explanation. To summarize, Ava is a “” character--someone who is brash, argumentative, naive, and seemingly completely unaware of how their antagonistic nature puts themselves and everyone around them in danger.

Although she seems to worship Maya, she also refuses to listen to her even when she’s giving out good advice and it ultimately leads to Maya’s death. Which wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that at no point does the audience agree with Ava’s decision-making. She just comes off as a brat that keeps making poor decisions. You can wave it away as a spoiled kid just doing spoiled things, but the fact remains that you never feel like you’re on Ava’s side. from Worse, Lilith puts Ava in charge of the Crimson Raiders instead of someone with seniority--or even the remotest idea of how to run an intergalactic gang of vault hunters. She seems to only exist to eventually inherit Maya’s powers and be put in charge of the Crimson Raiders, which is just bad writing all around. Commenters speculate that Ava will eventually have a redemption arc later on, likely as a DLC in the same way that Tiny Tina got one in Borderlands 2. But in the meantime, we'll all just keep on hating her.
