What are you implying?
They announced that voters overwhelmingly chose to stay at 1850! I was wrong! That's the poll that matters, not this thread! This one is for fun!

Okay kronk are you suggesting we should change just for the sake of making a change ? That is what I am hearing from you.
Then you have a serious comprehension problem.
Again, for the 3rd time, more people have voted for reducing the points (48%) than have voted to keep it the same (43%).
That means lower the points.
However, you are saying that even though more people are voting to lower it, we shouldn't. For...reasons?
I am sorry you don't understand my point - less than 50 percent is not enough to illicit a change.

Math....what happened to the other 9%? If there are two clear categories for lower and those are all accounted for then that means 52% voted for some other solution right?
Go back and read my earlier post where I broke it down for you. I won't take the time to do it again. The "keep it the same options" only add up to 43%.

In your opinion. Many people voted for many solutions. 1500pts got the most votes. No, it didn't get 51%. But it got a clear amount over any other solution so it wins. 'Not eliciting a change' only got 6% of the vote, so that definitely SHOULDN'T win.

There are lots of alternative solutions many of which weren't included in the poll.

It's a weird one, Reecius voted 1650 and had play tested a lot of 1650 with some of his team mates, who, according to the stream, thought 1650 was more balanced, ended up going 1850.
Flat out called Frankie on 1850 though, that made me chuckle a bit
