I think there ought to be a happy medium between Bulette or Githyanki Patrol or Redcaps one shotting 2-3 of your party members on the first turn through a flurry of multi-actions and dice roll garbage, or completely trivializing and not doing anything for 2 turns and dying in 2 action sequences because you used a martial class with stealth and a speed pot or wyvern potion or a void bulb into caustic brine+explosion.
It's really demoralizing when a limited use spell slot iconic to your wizard or warlock or landing a charm spell is a low RNG, low impact headache while throwing two items gained at lv1 from some starting scenario and restocked by a vendor every long rest completely dwarfs the impact of your native class kit.
You really can't take seriously a person who's trying to justify invis and haste pot abuse, or the fact rogues/fighters/martial playstyles are solo killing Bulette/Spectator/Ethel in 2 turns because the game mechanics are not well balanced.
