Stop insulting people please. Nobody is whining. You are putting words in people's mouths and burning straw men.
Other than that, interesting replies.

Here is what a strawman argument is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man. Please read it completely before charging someone with that particular offense.
And back to the issue....
My point is that "balanced" in the context of Dominions is "good vs some enemies and bad vs others." Anti-SC tactics are usually very good against SCs and very bad against decently-sized armies (which can very effectively use high HP or other kinds of units to draw away anti-SC spells).
While not all the pro-SC crowd are whiners, there are enough to color them as a group. It seems that every week I see a "this spell is broken because it killed my SC" argument, but I rarely see a "this spell is broken because it killed my army" argument. I apologize if that seems like an insult, because I see it as a valid observation about complaints that stem from emotional rather than logical reasons.
I understand that people get attached to their SCs. I don't understand why they ask others to play differently or change the game itself in order to respect that emotional attachment.
