1) I thought this was becoming a war

2) not blind luck, it would be more like mages, knights, theives and healers, like an rpg. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses in the mind and the body.

3) new villains would have reigns of terror. They would drop easily even when a person he who was their weakness arrives. When a Knight fights a Wizard he doesn't just go down easy. He tries and sometimes it can go either way.

4) Think of it like this: a lot of people fight and are getting hurt. They're running low on man power. Enter the healer. The healer heals people and replenishes their forces to help even the odds.

5) It's about people have jobs/classes/roles they play and each one supports the others. Like any RPG.

6) That way no one is the chosen one, there's no destined victory, the Silver Eyes. It's a team effort and lots of hard work and skill. 1) It hasn't begun yet. And besides, having a war as part of the plot doesn't mean RWBY is anything like Gundam, which focuses on the soldiers and the hell they suffer with an Ace Pilot protagonist that usually complains about how War is Stupid.

Even if a war broke out, the show would focus on RWBY and their journey(s), not on the war itself.

2) That's not like Rock-Paper-Scissors then. Besides, given Monty's style, if RWBY is like any RPG, it's an Action RPG, where (usually) those "weaknesses" become less important if you become skilled enough. Fragile defense? Spam evade and blast in their face. Like Kingdom Hearts.

3) "Even when a person he who was their weakness arrives"? I hardly understand what you're trying to say. Best I can think of is that you're telling me they would drop easily regardless of who-counters-who....which makes the whole point of both sides having counters pointless.

4) That's not what you were implying before. Not at all.

Besides, try to use an example we could actually see in RWBY, if not already seen. The example of the healer fails for me because I can't think of other examples of your point within RWBY, which so far doesn't have healers or anyone similar to one. What are you trying to say? "Everyone is having trouble, so this guy does his job"?

5) Consider what kind of show this is, and what kind of style Monty prefered. RWBY is, at most, like an action RPG on the lines of Kingdom Hearts, and at least, not like an RPG, just Awesome Action without much thinking, like DMC.

6) We have already seen Team Work, more than thrice. We have seen Hard Work: Jaune. We have seen Skill: Cinder, Merc and Emerald vs Amber. But that doesn't mean those 3 things you first mention are not important. There can still be Chosen Ones or "Destiny", and the Silver Eyed Warriors are the current best against the Grimm.
