WoW did this with their reworked talent trees with each talent tier offering 3 different choices. It took all of like a week for people to sim the optimal choice for every spec - and that was factoring in multiple end-game content selections (raids, dungeons, PvP, and open world) BLU will be cakewalk by comparison.

When WoW had the broad talent trees people still used cookie cutter specs. So no way to get around the communities in games and the meta. Look at raiding in FFXIV every static comp? Has a ninja and a bard, a paladin, a sch, white mage, dragoon and warrior. Leaving that last slot for a red mage for the rez's.

So to avoid BLU being a victim of that and gimping other groups they implemented it the best way they could/
