Which is why we should wait until he posts the semblance before saying anything. I know for a fact that trying to explain something doesn't work as well when everyone has a different way of saying things, which is why we have a template. It helps clear up misconceptions.

It's also why we wait until they have actually posted the semblance on the template before saying yes or no or voicing specific problems with power levels. That way we can actually see the semblance in its entirety and see how it balances out before we start rejecting them simply because the initial idea sounds too powerful.

After all, if I told you one of my characters semblance is to control the amount of oxygen in a location, you'd call that OP simply because of how barebones it is. But then when you read the semblance when it's written out in the template, you  know that it's not as powerful as the initial idea sounds.
