I like playing jak but its not fair when it comes to supers

My 1 takes me either being right on top of the guy or the guy being right above me, and my 2 requires me to perfectly time and position a jump at my enemy, which they usually jump away from in time...

I wont even talk about my 3 because it takes forever to get to it and you can get way more kills landing 1s and 2s

but even if i did, its a weird 3 to aim.

Now I played against my friend who used sly cooper, and it was clearly unbalanced with supers

His 1 is a giant hippo that hits everyone in front of him for 10 feet, and his 2 lets him fly accross the map twice dropping bombs repeatedly... 

I dont understand what the people making this game thought, both sort of similiar in speed, both gain super at the same rate. why did they give sly a clearly 10x better super set?

Can someone explain this to me?

Seeing as i'm the only character that matters if it dies

I dont really see what your saying if i'm a mage and im separated from teh entire battle and can rain down destruction and cannot be hit what does squishiness matter

Where as i'm an assassin and in the middle of all the carnage what could possibly be the benefit as a compared to a ranged caster/ranger?

I've been playing a mage and i've been watching my friend who plays a fighter/assassin and he'll be jumpin around attacking stuff getting hit using herbs and flasks and stuff 

But all i have to do is cast comestion and run away if someone gets close.

Cyclops i electocute and they cant do anything, chimera I comestion and they cant do anything, ogre I just run away from and just keep hitting him with spells and he cant get near me, i havent fought a dragon yet but yeah

Does it get harder for a mage or am I just totally OP without much trying?

If so let me know so i'll change to something a bit more interesting/challenging
