...I need to teach you guys how to argue.

Debating something is like :

Point
Counter-point.

Point: Trip + Cheapshot is really powerful.
Counter-point: Yeah but flight negates it, as does being able to kick the crap out of the thief.

What you're doing here is : https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-authority

All the people you've mentioned I've killed, so I don't really hold that because they believe something is balanced it therefore is because I don't find them as infallible gods that disagreeing with is foolish. I also don't think you get to dismiss a point 'because you've played something a lot' and therefore I should trust you. If anything, that means you have a more vested interest in keeping it in the game if you're exploiting it.

Basically if you want to make a point, make it. My point - RNG heavy mechanics are bad, they lead to conservative play, they lead to skill getting outclassed by luck and they force people to spend tons of time prepping or being forced into heavily defensive builds or niche to deal with safely. If you want to counter the point go for it.
