Balance is overrated. Everyone seems to be idealists and want some mythical perfectly balanced game. That game doesn't exist, because balance is subjective. Some see it as no one having bad match-ups, other see it as the worse match-ups being 6-4. Others don't count MU's at all, they see balance as every character being able to compete in a tournament setting, as in the worst character has just as good of a chance as the best character. This type of universally accepted balance will never happen because it can't happen. Once you buff a character to deal with a certain character, that buff affects its other MU's, same with nerfing.
The whole "balance is boring" argument is pointless, because that too is subjective. That's not an argument worth arguing because you can never prove everyone thinks balance is boring. So I say balance is overrated, because it is. The only thing balance accomplishes is more fun for the player, and more enjoyable to watch for some. While those may be important to some, they aren't to all.
