No one said it was non-canon, only that it was inconsistent. There's a big difference you know.

It wouldn't really make sense for the gameplay to be canon
Unless you want to say that all the characters just chose to disregard previous relationships with eachother and murder eachother while trying to deliver a payload

So if the multiplayer gameplay is cannon can somone explain the team comps?

So the lead writer is wrong....OK THEN! I GUESS WE SHOULD BELEIVE YOU OVER THE LEAD WRITER!

Because both stuff in-game and stuff from other Devs directly contradicts it

Why would the game developers have more say over the writing than the lead writer?WeeklyBattles said:
If I was to make a hypothetical pecking order of WoG, I'd usually put the guy actually planning/writing the story on the top.
And out of curiosity, scans to their respective statements?

Only when the word of god contradicts in game showings/information. So give us scans of these statments contradictions so we can apply death of the author, if it actually does contradict in game information.
Look wheekly Im willing to believe your side of the argument but you can't just say "its wrong" And expect people to accept/take that as a legitimate answer. Why is the statement wrong? What contradicts it?

That isn't how death of the author works. The in game comments are if anything, a lampshade hanging to the contradictory nature of the gameplay. The media doesn't give us any reason to disbelieve the writer here.

Other devs have stated that its canon

I'm seriously confused how developers who aren't part of the writing team contradicting the writing team somehow makes any statements from the writing team null and void, let alone the lead writer for the series.WeeklyBattles said:
I've yet to see these statements, regardless.
- 5,322
- 432
Where are these statements? How do they explain the in game team comp that breaks the lore of the comics, and cinematics? How do they explain the statement made by the lead writer, you know the person actually responsible for the story? How do they explain reinhardt knowing reapers identity?
Even if they have made such statements (Please provide them if they have) we have ignored unreliable word of god before when it comes from people not directly involved with the writing/story, such as when ben 10's art directors made statements...
Edit point being we don't treat all word of god equally, statements made by non writing staff that contradict the lead writer is liable to be lower on the pecking order

Heck, even if we have another WoG statement contradicting the lead writer and being held in the same esteem, all that means is that no WoG statement can be accepted as proof on it's own. The game would have to back it up.
However, it's easy to see that the game throws out the lore and character histories for gameplay reasons.

I find it amusing that my joke about you "lying to the people" is crossing some sort of line, yet you get to directly call other people liars under no humorous context whatsoever.WeeklyBattles said:

I don't think that's necessary. Discussion on how the calc should be used is best left in the comments on the blog. We don't need an entire separate thread for that.
Bambu was the only person to 100% commit to V. Frag, also. I said I was indifferent to whichever end was used as long as it wasn't pulverization, and Dragon said he was explicitly backing Frag over V. Frag.

It seems, DMUA is willing to accept the mid end of Doomfist's feat given how awkward the feat is. But it definitely ain't pulverization. So Small Building level+ looks good.
- 9,755
- 4,392
No, I absolutely agree on that. Pulverization is a ridiculous assumption.
If that's the case though, it appears Doomfist is going to be 9-A+, which makes the grenade feat being 9-A seem even more acceptable within the context of the verse's scaling.
