Then you get power-creep. TTK just gets shorter and shorter as everyone gets stronger and the game becomes a twitch shooter to get the first shot in. You have to balance by bringing some things down a notch.

I never understood the "don't nerf things, buff other things!" argument. Power creep is a very real issue and much more tough to deal with than players getting upset briefly.

Here's a better idea: rather than nerfing the few things causing issues, buff literally everything else. That sounds way more convenient!
