Why we care so much about balancing characters, however, is that some people use their abilities to such an extent that it substantially influences other people's scores. The balancing is meant to give every participant a chance of weaving an interesting battle that's not one-sided. Overly powerful characters have a tendency to lead to the same general outcomes, something we are doing our best to avoid.
