If you don't want to use them ,just don't.
Ugh, I hate this argument. It is a drawback for the gamers who don't want them. Suppose you don't know that's it's overpowered until you get it? Then you can't help but use it when things get rough instead of using any strategy. If you can resist the temptation, then the skill points are wasted. All because some "casual" gamer couldn't be bothered to learn to use balanced skills effectively.
High-powered skills, sure. I eventually want to rain down death and lay waste to my opponents, but "overpowered" by definition means too much, imbalanced, and out of place in any well-developed game.
