All in all, good stuff SE. Lets keep it going

This take confuses me when you're basically telling people to "git gud" while simultaneously acknowledging that the jobs are unbalanced to such an extent that team comps are making/breaking games.

The jobs don't need to be homogenized to create balance, they just need number tweaks and some changes in skill functionality (Making it so MNK reliably get Earth's Reply off before it expires/they die would be a big one) to give the underperformers more presence and make the "meta" jobs less overbearing.

In any team-based pvp game, there will always be a number of people utterly convinced that it's their teammates holding them down and they can do no wrong.

Right now, jobs are very unbalanced, so I would definitely recommend playing a meta job. But there will be those that can't climb even with a meta job. There will be - very, very rarely given the current balance state - those that can climb high even using one of the worse jobs.

It's not contradictory to point out both are issues. There's some balancing problems, but many that can't climb also refuse to take personal responsibility for doing so, no matter how many advantages they may have. So it goes.

Edit: See the post below this for an example. QED.
