Hashinshin yet again has great insight on how to fix tanks

{quoted}

Ok, so why point out bias if the bias is irrelevant to his choices being right or wrong?

Because he isn't impartial, I'm making a statement on why he would be wrong for the balance team even if he is right about this one.

He's said that assassins are terrible because mages stonewall lane with lost chapter, support powercreeped, and are balanced around Duskblade, which Kha'zix abuses and is therefore overpowered due to chain proccing it. He's also said attack speed junglers are shit. He said ADCs don't have fun much because if their support sucks they just get oneshot/full combo'd by the mage.

He made no qualms about traditional supports being fazed out of the support role because they were farm fodder back in season 3 with DFG at its height. No mention how shit ADCs were back in Season 7, how they were only still being picked to push lane during the tank meta. No mention of the complaints of certain juggernauts in season 5 when they were at their peak of power.

Guy fucking knows an unfathomable amount of history, balances his own mod for another game called EU4 (and yes very complex), has played the game for 8 years now, has played every role for 5-6 of them because role queuing didn't exist, multiseason challenger, gets trolled by people so he's forced to no longer play on his main, and dislikes Reddit talking about proplayers like they're experts.

Congrats, what does this have to do with anything?

You don't have to agree with everything he says, because I certainly don't, but to dismiss him away worse than the 30 some people on a list I have of common board users with poor opinions.

I don't trust anyone on these boards when it comes to balance. These boards have showcased time and time and TIME again that they don't want balance, they don't want everyone equal, they don't want what is best for the game. These forums are and have always been purely blind circlejerk. Whatever is currently being played the most whether it is strongest or not, is whined about being nerfed into the ground day in and day out. Most of the suggestions here are all about nerfing to non viablity rather then actual balance and Hashinshin's statements have been much the same with the suggestions he gives. He has gotten better as of late sure, but this doesn't change the multiple years where his top lane bias shined and I dismiss because it has been the same song and dance of complaining for 9 years straight now.

At least I fight them with an argument, but you're just dismissing with no chance for any other view.

What argument, you don't even read my post and just assumed that I don't agree with him outright when I stated in my first post that isn't the truth. I do agree with him on certain things, I just don't think he would be a good fit for the balance team. He isn't impartial and it shows.

Are you really saying this man? Argument are not just bias, if that were the case the world would be even worse of then it is. Arguments are premises and a conclusion drawn from those premises. From that you form an argument. For an argument to be invalid or incorrect it has to the case in which it cannot be true for premises to be truth while the conclusion is false. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Philosophical_Logic/Arguments this literally tells you what an argument is, I dont really understand where you are getting you info from but it is so wrong. As a philosophy major it is really sad seeing you say this.

"(Saying because Hashinshin is saying it means it is wrong, despite a very popular opinion among high elo top laners)" That last bit "despite a very popular opinion among high elo top laners" You know that that itself is a logical fallacy right? Appealing to authority I found that on the same page you brought your other fallacies from.

Hahahahha do you even watch pro games? Maokai has been picked like twice. GP/Camille/Vlad/Gnar is every single game.

You dont even watch LCS.
