The only argument NB3 really had was that it makes other players, especially adcs, feel bad regardless of how effective the strategy may be.
The question is does the argument of feelings trump the fact that he apparently could climb with that strategy.
I assume a lot of people give NB3 more credit since he had more control of the conversation. Whenever a topic came up that didn´t fit his position he blocked, he could talk with more confidence and he also had tarzaned backing him up. All in all, I didn´t feel that his points amounted to all that much.
