So, when I remember DS I remember Alucard and Ranka going H.A.M. on everything they crossed, that placed them into a category I like to call S class unnaturals. Old school DS saw the likes of Alice getting the fuck away from herds of zombies while tyrants swarmed her locations, despite this Alice is still classified as a Tier 1 BOW. Meanwhile, you have groups of people fighting for their lives only for 313 to show up and wreck house on so many levels causing people to run for their lives until Alucard shows up and starts a fight with the big ol meanie.
That was the past.
And in the present I'm seeing a lot of the same.
You have a Tier 1 BOW in Amy running from Tyrants and getting thrashed by other BOWs, then you have the refurbished Adam opting to escape rather than fight alongside the Patriot (who is a complete badass I believe). Then you have Spencer who absolutely mullards a handful of BOWs with no weapon, meanwhile, Tori's crew is running from zombies but holding strong.
Almost 9 years ago when someone got too powerful or proved to be too much Val would just re-calibrate a tyrant, which lead to the creation of 313, 314, and Natas. Those 3 tyrants became a problem even for Alucard and Ranka who were notably the two strongest things on the forum. This also caused a problem for people who weren't near their level, 313 became unstoppable as Alice and her crew unloaded bullet after bullet at the Tyrant only to have half her resistance group mowed down. Which created a true aspect of Survivor Horror. However, you have T-Nemesis, which was arguably an absurdly powerful Nemesis but was far weaker than 313 allowing multiple chase sequences until it was finally killed by Alice, Rain, and Amy. The balance of unstoppable and dangerous in those days was phenomenal and everyone feared the likes of 313 and T-Nemesis.

The discussion, what do you believe is the key to surviving in the Dead Sight universe?
