Requiem is doing the smart thing, and not buying a game based on design that he doesn't like. Fallen Angel? Still gonna buy it. And then probably bitch and whine when the latest "broken" perk combo gets found, while still actively playing the game. Then he'll buy the next one and the circle of idiocy will continue.

However, quality game companies understand -balance-. TF2 is a balanced game for the most part. A weapon like the tube IS unbalanced. It doesn't have to do with a 'pwn' mentality. It has to do with fairness and not wanting to piss off the people who play your game.
I never feel like any class or weapon is overpowered in TF2. The -ONLY- frustration I ever have in this game are the lack of skilled players at times. A lack of coordination by my team will ruin my game in an instant. However, I never feel like any weapon is too powerful, or unfair, or that any class is unfair. It's always the skill of a player that actually makes a difference in a battle. For instance, I get killed by scouts non-stop and they piss me off. But I play them and I am terrible at them, so I understand that it takes a certain kind of skill for someone to be good/effective at them. Doesn't mean I think they should be removed from the game. They're not unfair.
Tubes on the other hand, I could pick up and 'own' with just as easy. But it's not fun. It's annoying. I hate it, because if someone even thinks I am somewhere, they shoot a tube through a window and boom, I'm dead just like that. There goes my awesome killstreak.. oh, what's that, they did it again? Great.. fantastic.. oh look, they just did it again. Fuck this is getting old.. ok god damn it, that was the 4th time, use something else. Are you fucking kidding me, AGAIN?! WTF THIS FAGG$#$@T&(HSD(FHSDFUSDHF(&A
That's what it ends up being.
