I find a lot of people discuss a character being broken or overpowered, but many people don't really discuss what those words mean in the larger context of game design as a whole. So, what's the harm in me trying to do so? Using Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Super Smash Bros., and more, I'm going to dissect what makes a game's balance GOOD. Should a game be fun or should it be fair? Maybe they're too sides of the same coin...
