Criticism by definition is to judge the merits and fault of something. In my previous post, I outlined why Corynthus' kit in its entirety fails to pull off a genuine representation of "adaptive gameplay", and thus why it has no merits / it is faulty in its entirety because the kit you gave to us fails to meet what you yourself stated was supposed to be a "Magical Adapter that adapts to the (current) situation".

What differs constructive criticism from a dismissive rant or toxic flaming in general is partially subjective, but the rule of thumb is that if the critic cares to explain why they think a certain aspect of the material is flawed, then it is constructive criticism.

Just because I don't propose to you a list of changes or babysit you through the whole duration of Corynthus' improvement doesn't mean I wasn't being constructive, or that I was trying to demoralize you by "pointing out flaw after flaw after flaw without offering any way to improve them". Granted, GreenMoriyama does delve into what I had to offer more nicely, but if you wish for anything nicer than what he said, then I'm afraid you don't know how to differentiate between a nanny and a critic, much less a constructive one.
