You bring good points but you can't really bring Dragon Ball into this, its considered the father of all action shounen today, so it doesn't fit into the current ongoing series.

I can introduce you to quite some people that would strongly defend One Piece and Toriko despite heavily critisizing all the other top ongoing shounen series(albeit since they are pros, they do acknowledge good chapters, but they can see the cons as well, no series is perfect). Ok lets completely forget and ignore the authors that have been writing the same manga for like decades and lets look at the newer ones. Toriko, managed to get to the top instantly, same goes for Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic,  Kuroko no Basuke, Hunter x Hunter and other popular series you guys find to be epic. Some mangakas are just naturally talented, and keep the flow going throughout there works, but others..... tend to receive TONS of criticism, an unhealthy amount and the thing is, I still read their manga despite the criticism, cause I started the series and fell in love with it, I will stick with it till the end, same goes for about 50 other people I can name(no joke).

Also I have no real reason to argue that strongly, I'm not a tard nor a hater. I can name a few other series that you guys didn't list, that are better quality than the big 3(in the sense of not having too many senseless and utterly pointless plot developments).

In the end what I'm saying is that, until a person has tried a series out for themselves, don't discourage them. If they try it out and dislike it, then that's fine. That's the end of the story, but no reason to go hate on it everywhere. How many people hate the Naruto anime but still watch it regardless? Same principal here.
