I've seen plenty of games with optimized characters, where it all came down to the wire in combat, and none that I would call "trivial". Also the designers did a pretty good job of balancing out so uber-minmax isn't too far ahead of a "normal" build. Now, there definitely ways to build mechanically bad characters where the power delta is big, but I see that as a separate problem.Another point, people who build min-maxed characters also tend to play with better battle tactics (in general). Give those same players non-optimized characters, and you would probably find similar outcomes with their tricked-out characters.</blockquote>
