You can say this as much as you want, it still pretty much invalidates the whole fight's mechanics. There's really nothing you can counter that with because that's exactly what it does. You can give your opinion or view of that, but it doesn't change what's happening. In any other game, if people find a way to avoid most or all of a fight's mechanics like this, the fight gets fixed.
