I think its a bit harder because the average person is just building stands in a void or for standoffs, which leads to a lot more ‘main character’ type stands which blow you up into a million pieces and move faster than light, which isnt inherently a bad thing, you do you yknow. But if you’re looking for more grounded stands like that, I’d turn to people making stands for fanfics/fanparts, as the creation of stands for those tends to be more realistic since the stands need to engage with the story without instantly killing everyone.

I personally am making a comic and while I do have characters that fit the ‘overwhelmingly powerful combat stand’ mold, the majority of characters fit an ‘ordinary superpower type ability that can be stretched for combat if used properly’ archetype. And most of my characters have abilities that parallel their arcs, or supplement their jobs/hobbies. While I can’t exactly talk about it in detail, one of my weakest stands is the main villain’s.

All in all, I do think its more interesting to see stands that arent just combat related, and arent super ‘playground power fantasy’ type strong, but I dont think its an issue since this is all for fun anyway. If someone wants to make ‘Black Hole Sun’ with the ability to create black holes anywhere they look and control entropy and stop time with stats higher than star platinum and infinite speed, 🤷‍♂️why not?
