While there is no doubt no shortage of such misunderstandings, it is far from saying most perceived imbalances are such. I could make a list a mile long of things in base dom2 experienced players simply would never consider using, and a much shorter list of things that were so useful the game could be said to more or less revolve around being the first to acquire the most of them.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's a balance problem though. In fact, the whole shade debate kind of proved my point
Any game which includes an advance system of some kind is going to get the same thing occuring, it often makes sense to ignore certain tiers of units simply because your resources would be better spent reaching the next tier. Simply because those units are obsolete doesn't mean they are unbalanced.

And it only takes a few games to notice that people rushing for air queens/vine ogre hordes/spectres perform much better than others.

With any game that includes a gradual power increase you get the same effect. Of course people rushing to get the better, higher class units are going to do well - otherwise what would be the point in having a research tree at all?
