I'm not totally against it though I still think you could come up with balanced power characters if you chose.
Just in the Buffy series we had: A cyberwarrior, a robot, a really powerful witch, a trained watcher who was also a wizard, a character that dressed up as soldier at the "wrong/right" time and got full Movie Action soldier capabilities combined with the senses of a Hyena, two friendly vampires for various reasons, a gadgeteer. Then a newly opened slayer potential waking for everyone.

While that could be a good game, I would really much prefer to play Xander. He almost dies all the time, yet frequently plays a key part in the success of the mission.

It's perfectly okay with me to let other members of the party fight off the Big Bad and his minions, if I get to chuck a rock at its head to distract it at the right moment, or pour holy water in the Black Cauldron, or scrape away part of the magic circle, or rescue the (hopefully young and beautiful) sacrifice -- and then run like a bunny, spending drama points like crazy and describing exactly how the heck I didn't die this time.

That would be fun!
