It is some what individualized to strength to a certain degree yes, the higher the combat ability of a group
But the undeniable point is that Shikamaru factored in their overall strength as a group, he didn’t look at them as individuals before guessing if they were the best team for the mission. You cannot logically say that each individual’s strength on that team is greater then anyone else’s who wasn’t on it becuase Shikumaru never identified or elaborated on any of their individual strength, he talked about their strengths as a whole.
All I’m saying is this: based on shikamuras words in the Viz translation you cannot say as a fact that he thought each of their individually strengths was the basis of his guess that they made a great team for the mission. But you can say without a doubt that he guessed their strength combined as a whole made their team suitable for the mission .
If your choosing the best people
Shikamaru didn’t choose anyone to go nor did he ask for any of them to go, they were going on their own before Shikamaru was even in the picture.he only commented and validated the team going already going before he had anything to say about it.
You chose the best/strongest combatants you have, which were chosen, Pure and simple.
Simple, who chose them to go? I know for a fact you can’t say Shikamaru did. Saying Shikamaru put the kages together is fanfic, there was no room for Shikamru to choose a team because the team choose itself.

The only reason why no one else went besides the kages is because no one else volunteered, notthing more.
Stop trying to use lee to wiggle your way out of this.
Stop ignoring the fact that Lee has stronger if not better combat strength then some of the kages who weren’t choose to go rescue Naruto but instead having volunteered.
You can’t counter it..
IThe reason the logic doesn't make sense to you is because your pulling shit out of your ass
No the reason why your shitty argument makes no sense is because it’s coming straight out of your ass and fanfic.
about lee and how strong you expect him to be not how strong he has proven to be.
More shitty logic, no facts.
This is how strong Lee is expected to be via opening the gates and how strong he should be opening the same gates (strength that surpasses a kage or hokage).

Common sense tells you that Lee’s strength is beyond the kages who went to rescue Naruto by default. Counter that...
