Why doesn't slay exist? Because every mortal with it could win. Everybody playing to win would only ever play the class with slay, and the only tactic they would ever use, would be slay. CF would be ruined. The only reason CF continues to thrive, despite the prevalence and encouragement of playing to win, is because the imms are constantly striving to maintain class balance.

So, occasionally, when you feel like a scrub, maybe it's not because you are, but you find yourself up against an unbalanced situation. There's a reason assassins don't have hellfire, rangers don't have old school bears, and you don't have masters with over 2,000 hp running around. And that is, because the imms realized they had to step in, and balance those skills.
