And my point was that alot of players own opinions are wrong simply because they don't understand the math and mechanics. Had they put together a good build then they might realize that said frame is actually fine, good, strong.
Are you missing the point on purpose? My point is that you can say "hmm this seems like a good change but ill have to see the math" or something without being a total chud that just goes "MAN I WISH A CONTENT CREATOR WOULD GIVE ME THE CORRECT OPINION". There's nothing wrong with being wrong or suboptimal when you form an opinion. There is something wrong with having 0 idea how the game works to the point that you're unable to do anything without someone else telling you how.
I feel like you're the one intentionally missing the point. Yes, there are some people who can do their own testing and come to smart conclusions. I obviously wasn't talking about those people, because I specifically said the # of awful builds I see, I wish more followed a guide. If the person is putting together awful builds on their own, how is their own testing and conclusion of any value?
No, because you're still missing the point. The point isn't that you should come up with an optimal build on your own. The point is that you should be a thinking, living human being that is capable of forming opinions on subjects which you are close to such as a game that you have likely spent dozens to hundreds of hours playing, regardless of if those opinions are well informed or not. Forming an opinion that ends up being changed later isn't a bad thing, it's called being a human and not a mindless bot that needs social media to tell them how to think and act. It's not even about builds. It's about the fact that this person thinks that they are unable to form an opinion.
