I know people who will die defending them. I, personally, just don't see it. They are really fragile and it's too much a hassle going out of your way to buy lead replacements when it's even easier to simply get a new pencil.
There's also the fact that any lead other than 2B, H or F is kind of hard to find. And then switching leads around is stupid. Sometimes a certain one needs a different pencil, plus the time it takes to disassemble the pencil to do the switch itself, could be avoided by just using normal pencils. And then, carrying lead containers around (because you have to, otherwise they get lost or broken) simply beats the whole point of increased portability compared to a set of wood pencils.
All of this makes them pointless in my opinion.

I have my graphite drawing supplies on me basically at all times. 10 pencils, 4 kinds of erasers, cutters, blenders, and a bit of sandpaper. It all can fit neatly in one hand if you have a proper case, and have it properly organized.
So yeah, portability is not even that big of an issue to begin with.
started with engagement bait and finished with some rage bait which is a common strategy amongst rookie/intermediate lobbies but easily countered by skilled/experienced players.
