Downfall of scaling

Am i the only one who hates the scaling after paths got introduced.

Like id understand if it were similar to mastery however i see people saying johan > tom and goo because he has a path. And people putting him in top 10 oat only because he has a path.

Im not saying johan is weak however its just a dumb and stupid argument. It was pretty obvious to know back in 1a who was stronger than who, before MK's statements about paths
