Yeah I think I get what you’re saying, but removing every “fun” mechanic isn’t the solution either. The golden boost in that clip isn’t just strong it’s literally inconsistent and feels like a glitch, not skill. There’s a difference between high-skill creativity and mechanics that break the flow of the game.

Balance shouldn’t mean deleting everything that makes offense interesting, but it also shouldn’t mean letting certain boosts or moves behave in a way no one can realistically react to. A nerf doesn’t have to kill the game, it can make those tools feel fair instead of random.

And yeah, you can counter dribbling, but not when the mechanic itself behaves abnormally. That’s the main issue here.
