The problem still exists whether or not people see it. D&D being more balanced wouldn't make it a worse system.There are other developers that actually see an issue with this and heck even WotC saw it back when they made the good edition (4E). Paizo is making PF2 which is much better balanced than 5E is, and Enworld has the A5E which is supposedly an attempt to deal with the same problem.I'm willing to bet that it's purely a design team problem.I mentioned in another comment that the problem is highly amplified if you have a player who is min-maxing and when it happens it can happen pretty much as early as 5th level, when 3rd level spells come into the picture.I retired a character because of balance issues. That's what actually made me realise this was a problem in the first place. Before that I mostly dismissed the problem entirely. I remember a friend of mine refused to play D&D because he argued magic was overpowered and I didn't see his point. Then one day I did.</blockquote>
