This. It is important to note that no one is saying"You CANNOT play that way" we are all simply saying that the OP presenting these openers as a guide and saying they are "optimal" is wrong and will mislead newer players which is not good for the community. It would be one thing if there was extensive math to support the claims about these openers and if that math proved that this way of doing things was actually competitive with what the Balance suggests, but this is not the case. Like LyraEbonfall stated, the mentors on Balance spend hours upon hours upon hours doing nothing but testing different openers, skill rotations, etc to see what gives the highest statistical gains for each job while taking into consideration what gives the highest gains to other jobs. It's A LOT of tireless work and communication going on constantly about any sort of improvement that can be made. The OP is pretty much saying that the extensive amount of work all of these mentors did is wrong and that his feelings on how things should be done is right while offering no support to that claim. To do so is, as someone said, misinformation at best. Intentional toxicity at worst. Especially if the OP is actually only suggesting these because they are the best alignment for his Tornado Kick opener that he loves to do. Attempting to pass off information as "optimal" solely to benefit yourself and no one else is, and always will be, wrong and worthy of condemning.
