Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy
A phrase created by John R. Williams III in early 2024.
The fault-to-ratio fallacy refers to the mistaken reasoning where someone dismisses an individual’s entire set of beliefs or arguments simply because they hold one or a few demonstrably false or flawed views. This fallacy ignores the "ratio" of truths to faults, assuming that one error invalidates all other ideas or arguments, even if some of them are inherently correct or well-founded.

Example:
Person A: "I believe the Earth is flat, but I also believe that 2+2=4."
Person B: "Since you believe the Earth is flat, everything you say must be wrong."
Here, Person B commits the fault-to-ratio fallacy by rejecting Person A’s correct belief (2+2=4) because of their incorrect belief about the shape of the Earth. Instead of evaluating each idea on its own merit, they discredit all ideas based on one fault

Get the Fault-to-Ratio Fallacymug. When your support role is doing more damage then its supposed to do compared its healing . The damage doesn't have to be higher then the healing but just high enough so that you notice. This behavior stems from the individual misunderstanding or lack of desire to play the role accordingly.
Person A: I'm not getting any healing!
Person B: Of course not bro, our support has 4k damage and only 200 heal.
Person A: He's got a fucking Zilber Ratio.
Person B: Of course not bro, our support has 4k damage and only 200 heal.
Person A: He's got a fucking Zilber Ratio.

Get the Zilber Ratiomug. When a someone posts something thinking it’s based, when it is infact widely accepted, non-controversial, and has no one arguing in the comments.
High like low comment ratio, implies that the poster may possibly not be a human but instead is infact an automated bot account, or a human with NPC like tendencies which can fool people into presuming it’s a bot.
This usually requires highly tribalistic & partisan behavior. Meaning there may not be anything critical or based with that account’s other posts. This is specially true if that account has repeated occurrences.
There is a direct correlation between posting controversial matter and getting many comments.
