Every piece that is previewed is compared to another piece at the same price. If the person doing the comparing thinks the new piece is the better of the two then the new piece is broken. If the old piece is better than the new one than the new one is a waste of space in the set.
Eh....I don't really see it happening any more than any other set. Granted, I've only been in the game since COTF, but there are always "Broken" and "Powercreep" screamers out there everytime. And so far, every time it's been shown that, yeah, some of the new pieces create new metas or new gatekeepers, but overall it isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Boba BH for instance. He ruled the game for a little while, but pretty much everyone has started to figure out that there are ways to beat him. Sure, he's still good, but not nearly as 'broken' or 'powercreeped' as everyone thought a year ago.
I didn't mean it just for this set. Pretty much every preview I've seen since I started has had its share of both "its not as good as X so why was it even made" and "its so much betetr than Y its a sure sign of powercreep and/or brokenness" posts.
