General Do you prefer "Rock-Paper-Scissors" counter systems?

[quietoffensive]

I was arguing online about counter systems with a friend and honestly rock-paper-scissors balancing is necessary. Without proper counters, one nonsense overpowered strategy will ruin everything. Strategy games become boring once every unit can do everything. Then what’s the point of thinking?

Anybody saying counter systems are bad probably enjoys abusing broken strategies . Without rock-paper-scissors balancing, RTS will quickly turn into something we don't understand. The sweetest victories are when you read the opponent correctly and counter it perfectly.
