The writer of the article was obviously trolling, but it still bothered me quite a lot, especially the entry for Ike.

You guys are too easy. The writer was clearly messing around taking potshots at everyone in good fun.

Also it's adorable how the OP linked the reaction ZeRo has to the article but not the article itself for easy linking. Guess I gotta do aaaaaaaall the work:

The writer is Jeremy Parish, someone who really likes Nintendo games, as established by their Game Boy World and NES / Super NES Works YouTube series. Check 'em out if you have time, they're great history lessons.

I've heard, but honestly the article itself wasn't much of a laugh, the dude may be insightful, but in my opinion if this is the first thing you see of his', like it was for me, then its a bad first impression.

People generally don't like to give Polygon clicks. In any case it's clearly not very serious but some of the entries do just feel mean. Not a lot of thought seems to have gone into the article, in any case.

People don't call them Lolygon for nothing.

Buzzfeed did something like this for Smash 4 and it was arguably worse.

But why take Polygon seriously? They made an awful hit piece on WeeGee. No reason to believe that they're not trying to stir flame.

I still remember Ness being called a walking pyrotechnic.

The fact that it was a troll still doesn't let me respect polygon's take on eSports.

sorry, I just didn't want to visit polygon's cancerous site

As if making a tier list for a game that's not even out yet wasn't already asinine to begin with.
honestly i don't mind the fact that they do that, I just hate Esam's tier list

Chrom's entry and Bowser Jr.'s entry really made me lose all respect for the author, regardless of his intentions, humor or no. You can't just diss a character that hard with the broadest generalizations. Looks like we found a "too many FE characters" believer, bois!
