Balance in Heroes 5.

How can we even talk about balance in games played by humans? Perfect balance can only be observed in a battle between two absolutely equal computers. Humans are individuals, so there will never be any real balance, anywhere, in anything. In my opinion, the strongest, most cunning, and most inventive always wins. A race is just a tool; everything else depends on the human on the other side of the screen. So, talking about balance is nonsense.

Let me try to prove you wrong using your own example: imagine you're a master lumberjack. So, you're competing with another lumberjack, a complete novice. But he has an incredibly sharp axe, while you have a dull, useless tool. And who will cut down more trees, despite your mastery?
No one is talking about the balance of player skill on the forum because some people can't showcase their abilities. But the armies they use differ in both strengths and weaknesses. So, that's what we're talking about here. Do you think this can't be called balance? I think you're wrong.
