It's Either Great Or Complete Garbage

Oh I and they know very well. Still the issue of being too powerful. Why the hell should anyone play a fighter? Or a paladin? They can cast BS all they want, then when things get difficult. Boom, instant death for any problem, combat or otherwise. My casters power game hard. So nothing is an issue for them, even without spell slots. Or, if I dare try to limit them. They fold their arms and refuse to play. I tried a magic backfire system, giving spells some risk to the reward, nope, they all refused to play casters, or use spells that had the 30% chance to not instantly succeed. I tried anti magic fields. The caster just left the party until the combat was over.

I am very, very tired of being unable to critisice this bloody system and have everyone talk like I'm a braindead idiot. But my goal here, is for a fun story. Dragging players through 7 bloody encounters sounds awful and unfun. I've tried it, no one, even me, had fun. I feel like despite being a role playing game, magic doesnt buuld into the RP, just the frankly boring mechanical side. But fine, it's perfect, I'm just an idiot again.
