I would prefer they did something original so no ending would be canon.
Would you be pissed if High EMS Destroy became canon?

Yes I'd love High EMS Destroy to be canon. That said I'd prefer no canon ending and no games set after ME3. It's just a disaster waiting to happen.

consider from all 3 endings, make destroy as canon will give much more opportunity to expand
the mass effect universe without making player ending choice so pointless.
but I still prefer "no canon" and reboot the whole plot with smaller and personal direction of the
story would be better.

I believe the most convenient ending is control... Sheps physically dead... but his mind is in the reapers.... who are not destroyed... EDI could be very well "alive"... and the Geth are still there...
Synthesis is just to strange to be canon... and destroy takes away the reapers, the geth AND EDI...
Whatever it will be... I can't wait to see
but from a writers point of view I would choose CONTROL... as Shep I did chose Destroy!
Edit: Control makes Shepard actually immortal... EDI is practically immoratal... now that is an interesting starting point...

High EMS destroy is the real ending for me, that's what Shepard fought for the whole time.

Synthesis is inevitable anyway, so why not go with it.
Mostly because it'd be the most uninteresting game of the decade, since there can't be a protagonist/antagonist without any conflict or motive.
Not to mention that Synthesis as Mass Effect 3 is doing it is incredibly stupid and is based on lazy space magic and plot convenience more than anything else.

It is the only literal ending that makes sense for a sequel...
^This. They really wrote themselves into a corner for future games w/o needing to choose one ending over the other as canon. You can't really handwave the existance of Reaper Overlords and whether or not every living being is half-organic/half-toaster.
Since the ending of ME3 I've been pissed, so I suppose choosing a canon would just maintain the status quo - at least Destroy is the ending my main picked?

I would absolutely support high EMS Destroy ending being canon.
Whether Bioware admits it or not, they have in the past declared certain events to be canon and nullified player choices.
So there *is* a canon for the series regardless of Bioware's PR claims of 'Your Shepard, no canon."

The Catalyst straight up tells you that Synthesis is inevitable. It doesn't matter what ending you choose, Synthesis will eventually occur.
So if they make a sequel, Synthesis will probably be canon. And yet I still choose destroy anyways.

Better that canonized than the other two, Refusal notwithstanding.

Since Destroy is my favorite choice, and I almost always get a high EMS, I'd be fine with it being made canon for ME4.

Yes.
Refuse is for the butthurt,
Synthesis is for moronic Bioware
and Control is for TIM supporters.

I'm OK with whatever direction Bioware decides to take the IP. I will never become too attached to any BW franchise again, so it doesn't matter.
Not saying I won't play BW games. I won't pin any expectations on their games from ME3 forward.

NOTE: I'm an ITer (mixed in with several other theories in fact)
"There will be losses, but not more than what has already been lost"
= Duh, you're not losing the geth and EDI, because that would be *more* than that has already been lost. Starbinger (Catalyst is really Harbinger...) is using tricky wording (ha, like Bioware already does with its PR) to try to convince you they will die.
"technology as you know will be affected, but those who survive can rebuild it"
= ....so? Technology of course would be affected by the REAPERS BEING DESTROYED. All Starbinger is saying that with dead Reapers, one could conceptually use that tech and rebuild it. Duh.
So what I'm saying is that Destroy seems and feels like the hard choice to take, but its really the path to victory. We never lost EDI or the geth, and the slides at the end are Shepard's hallucinatory dreams before waking up in London rubble.
To answer your question though OP, I'd be... actually a bit pissed. Not a lot though!
I would be annoyed because I think Control would be a compelling story of Shepard struggling with indoctrination, and Synthesis would be a compelling story of Shepard falling to indoctrination and requiring his allies and friends to have been built up into a place where they can be the Shepard, and Shepard can be the Saren. (as in, they collectively are victorious, even if Shepard himself fails at the end)
It would be really cool!
My mainShep would pick Destroy.
My racistShep would pick Control.
My femShep would pick Synthesis.
Each could have closely tied storylines, but have divergent points and lines where Shepard is clearly affected by Harbinger, and allies may or may not notice. The drama of it is awesome sounding. Of course, the story might end with a suicide by gun

It's my favourite ending. But yes, I would be pissed. High EMS Destroy is not an ending that fits all my Sheps.
Yeah even as an ITer, I want to see where the story heads for my unique Sheps.
Even if Synthesis is a Reaper trap, I want to see a full story of what would happen if one of my Sheps fell for it.
I think it would be super dramatic, just like how having the quarians and Tali die on Rannoch is MUCH more dramatic and impressive than a full-peace situation

I would be disappointed. Mainly because they are invalidating our choices as players. Also, Destory is boring. The other ending have a lot more drama and potential conflict (at least Control does, maybe Refuse...Synthesis still doesn't make any sense).
You at least kinda get it
From whatever perspective, having multiple outcomes from the Crucible (dream? heh, IMO) decision would be preferred to having only High-EMS Destroy matter in any future of the canon of the Mass Effect universe.
Even as an ITer, I think Destroy would be more boring because it would be the same as Shepard always was - "I'm-a gonna stop and kill the Reapers myself because I'm Shepard and so strong in will blah blah"
I want a Shepard that struggles with his choice and who outright requires his allies, and acquired powers (Rachni? Thorian? More?) in order to redeem himself and get back on track.
Pure Destroy just clears the slate to me, narratively, and I don't necessarily love that as the only canon choice...

Making Destroy canon would be the best and smartest thing for them to do. Which is why it won't happen.

Destroy fails for me because the Geth and EDI are killed and bringing them back would be ridiculous. It would cheapen the choice at the end of ME3. I also think it's rather short sighted to wipe the Reapers from existence when other options exist.
I will probably still play ME4 if destroy is made canon, but I will not be happy about it. The writers should stick with their vision and not with what the majority (on BSN) wants.

No, I chose destroy but I don't want it made canon. I wouldn't want synthesis forced upon me so I wouldn't want destroy forced upon others.

The series is over and ME4 will never exist for me. So, no I wouldn't care at all.
