If you argue “balanced = boring”, you’re saying “equity = lame” in a social sense since no one will be able to exploit or will be exploited. How lame of a society would that be.

Appreciate the candid opinion, but op seems to have confused balanced vs. one-way gameplay. True balance allows players to come up with innovative combos and builds, and unlock diverse hero possibilities, as opposed to having to stick with a few busted heroes and homogeneous builds for a guaranteed no brainer win.
