Why are 95% of the skills garbage?

It's because you have a choice:

1) Meta builds faceroll the content and most "homebrew" builds end up being viable for completing content (at least campaign + early maps). This is good for casual players.

2) You balance everything around meta builds, so they can't faceroll content, and the majority of casual/homebrew builds are non-viable. This punishes casual players.

You cannot escape this choice.

I've seen this "amazing" theory repeated in multiple threads lately. It has no basis in reality and it's very easy to prove that.

Imagine a situation where there's a meta that has three builds that are significantly stronger than all the others and can faceroll all content. Then everything else (apart from downright badly made builds) can clear all content with varying speeds, but slower than those three meta builds. Perfectly viable, however.

Then those three meta builds get nerfed down to the level of everything else. Nothing else is changed. Nothing changes about the viability of every other build, except in relation to the meta.

Even simpler example: If they buffed the damage of spears x10 right now, would that make homebrew builds more viable because now there's a meta that can faceroll everything?
