That's literally all what you present, ignoring and disregarding advantages of units just so narrative can suit your point.
It doesn't matter what the abilities cost - they are there for you to use, if you aren't using them, you're playing the unit wrong, which obviously will lead to the conclusion that its "weaker" then unit with no abilities.
All of your balance problems so far are learn to play issues.
Dude your the one who is insinuating that. I never said ass grens were weaker. Pointing out facts doesn't mean what you want it to mean.
Say that you say "the Sun is so much brighter than the Moon". Does it mean you think the Moon sucks????
