Mark Delsing better: ultra-effective combos in Champions/Hero type games, yeah? If you just math it out you can probably build completely “broken” effects. But then you absolutely must fictionally position their utility and effect, and in the course of that discussion the “broken” effect makes perfect sense. But the fact that you can math stuff out like that in Champions is part of its appeal, I think.
And then that mandatory discussion of effects’ fictional position becomes a Champions selling point.
