More Horizontal Progression please

[Ibi]

If an effect or item has a huge advantage (over 30%) in a fight against every other item. Then it is no longer a choice, thus it immediately becomes vertical. Even if it started out horizontal. Vertical Progression means there is one best choice, and there are upgrades to that best choice.

Multiple ways of handling the same situation is true horizontal progression.

Got it. >30%: Vertical. <30%: Horizontal.

Thank you for providing your completely arbitrary line.

Thank you for providing your completely arbitrary line.

If one item is 30% or better in a situation there is no need to use it over other items because there is such a huge difference in power. Sorry you disagree, but its the truth.

Thank you for arguing with me for no point or reason. I was trying to help you understand but it seems you just want to argue, for the sake of arguing.

At no point did I disagree with this. It's an obvious and factual statement.

I disagreed with that being the definition of vertical progression, because you have based your definition around a completely arbitrary cut off (>30% in any single situation in the entire game).

I'm debating your definition because there's no point going "SE, we might want more horizontal progression" if we can't even agree on what horizontal progression is.

The vast majority of the people in this discussion seem to have much the same concept of horizontal progression, and were discussing the relative pros and cons of it, until you came into the discussion and went "No, you're all wrong, here's what I say horizontal progression is."
