You wanna know what was thrown around? "Super Saiyan Blue", which undermineded the super saiyan god base form.
Transformations aren't "thrown around", as you expressed. Super saiyan "blue" was used/represented "poorly" for a period of time, but aside from that, there hasn't been any other transformation used irresponsibly throughout "super", at least as far as I can recall.
I honestly feel like, a part from new techniques, a transformation would "shock" us, cause new techniques are a good idea, but it isn't as impacting as a "transformation", which takes a characters abilities and appearance to a whole new level. You can have the transformations and a new technique along with it.How could you settle for anything less?
"Techniques" aren't EXACTLY what the majority are looking for. You can always use the same signature techniques, in a different way.Or even use labelless techniques, like Vegeta and goku, for example. They don't accredit the labelless techniques, obviously.
Tons of new moves are used throughout "super", but they aren't accredited for...cause they aren't given a name or given some dramatic "power up" scene, like the signature moves kamehameha, big bang, spirit bomb, final flash, etc.
