I agree with their dislike for DPS counters. It kind of shoehorns the game into a path it doesn't need to go to.

On the other hand, a self-DPS counter wouldn't be such a bad thing, considering how difficult some of the endgame boss phases get. It would still be abused, but at least one factor of discrimination would be removed.

More importantly, it turns DPSing into a game of number cruncher. While it definitely already is, there is a clear difference in it being implied and it being literally implemented into the game.
