Would you prefer every champ to feel really strong or really weak?

Some games like to take the approach of all chars being quite weak like in league. like even if you take the most op stuff like tank Ekko it doesnt feel that strong.

A few games that do make their chars feel strong are games like overwatch and warframe.

I wont put videos to overwatch because everyone and their dog knows who it.

But lets take 2 chars that are simlar. braum and reinhardt. https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/overwatch.gamepedia.com/thumb/0/07/Reinhardt-portrait.png/350px-Reinhardt-portrait.png?version=f1579375d8d7795aaf8c666d3597f9ee now both do the same job but you have to admit that reinhardt feels alot stronger. even if you dont own overwatch which you should its amazing you can watch some videos of streams and see reinhardt feels and plays alot more impactful then braum.

lets compair league to a different game. Warframe. Tryndamere and VALKYR http://pre00.deviantart.net/7308/th/pre/i/2014/263/9/8/warframe_valkyr_by_spacemaxmarine-d7zvo3g.jpg

now while its true that tryndamere can 1 v 1 people due to his ult it doesn't really feel that strong... even tho its a "i win 1 v 1 gg no re" but it feels strong compaired to other champs...

where as valkyr just feels madly over the top invinable slaughter her enemies for energy (mana) to keep her invinable and then we has things like a massive attack speed buff huge aoe attacks, an aoe stun (but it cost her health) and instead of just a spin every few seconds she has a Nautilus q on a 0 second cooldown (but all chars in warframe have 0 second cd they dont exist in warframe) she has Kayle autos, Nautilus qAmumu r, Warwick w and a Tryndamere ult on steroids. So my question is would you prefer every champ to feel meh like they currently do.

or would you prefer every champ to feel massively op with these amazing abilities. Think of doombots imagen if every char was like a doom bot.

Would you like to play league in that mode? for me personally I would prefer league to be like that it would feel alot better and interesting. (and thats partly why doom bots is my favorite mode) so cast your vote below. if you agree i want to hear why, if you disagree i want to hear why, and if you only agree with half of it tell me why. its a forum its for discussion not who can get the most thumbs ups.

Honestly I'd rather League feel even weaker than it currently is. I'm all for the power fantasy, but I'd rather give up that feeling of strength in favor of never feeling like my actions in game don't matter.

If I fall behind I'd like to feel like there's at least something I can do to catch back up and contest my opponent's position. I want a loss to feel like it was my fault for my own mistakes over the whole course of the match, rather than just the first half of the game.

Back in the day League had a snowballing problem where you could just get really, really far ahead of the enemy team, but now snowballing is more about setting your opponents behind than building an advantage for yourself. You work on keeping your enemies shut down rather than improving your own advantage, and that just leaves me frustrated. I want each game to feel evenly matched, rather than one sided after one team makes the first mistakes.

I would absolutely love to vote for option 2 on your poll, but until Riot figures out a better way for the winning team to grow a lead without it coming at the expense of the other team's fun I don't think League can afford to be stronger, and might do well being a little bit weaker.
