Say the small pulse laser is buffed so that anything it hits instantly dies. In theory, you could "adapt" to the new meta that would produce, but I feel safe in saying you'd think it unreasonable, two-dimensional and unfun. Yes, it's a silly example, but if you think that's unreasonable, then you agree that there's such a thing as a boring meta with one plainly unbalanced playstyle, the only debate is over what changes produce and cure them.
