I've been constantly telling everyone i meet that balance matters in PvE but most don't understand that. It's also more important in multiplayer game (even if it is PvE / Co-op centric). One of the reasons is that people get influenced by others. They want what other people want (not always but pretty often). And youtube will always have popular search terms about "what the best x" so people are often trying to find the most OP shit.

But they don't realize that playing the same setup over and over again gets to you. They don't realize that seeing everyone else around you use the same setup makes you more bored of the game. even if you personally stick with same choice (a lot of people, including me, have mains) you still feel better if you see others have different loadouts. Variety matters a lot. And have super overpowered weapons is the enemy of variety.

Sure there can be tiers of weapons which are better than starter shit. But that's good design. Having 5 good choices out of 200 is a bad design. ​​​
