Pictomancer is absurd

[Turtledeluxe]

Bonoki: I'm not really a fan of the looks of the Pictomancer.

ITT: "OMG, tHe dAta SaYS..." "THatS NOt A lOgICaL ArGUmENT", "MaKE oNE EVerYOnE LikES ThEN"

lol, since when does not liking something have to be logical and have data supporting it? She doesn't like it, she shared her opinion on it. (and yes, you're allowed to share your responses to her criticism too, as silly as I may find them)

That's not what the argument is. The argument being made is that "don't like it, don't play it" isn't applicable advice because the aesthetic presentation of Picto is subjectively bad. Unfortunately, that's exactly why "don't like it, don't play it" is applicable advice. There are numerous other jobs you can play, and jobs are not designed to appeal to every single player. Jobs are designed to appeal to as many players as possible. The only thing you're right about here is that people have a right to complain. And I have a right to tell them that while I respect their opinion, their opinion is most likely going nowhere. But as long as you are aware that your complaints are self serving, that's totally fine. Don't pretend it's objective, reasonable, etc.

I think if anything, you rendering it back down to "well it's just my opinion", demonstrates there's no credible or coherent argument being formed ITT for Pictomancer actually being a problem.

And it *is* important to clarify when statements are not supported by data or historical trends (at least) because there has to be some well agreed upon base for all of us to work with or else it's just you talking to yourself, basically.
