90% of awakenings are extremely easy to take down if you use counter and know the timings. They're making themselves a bigger target meaning unless they know what they're doing they're in for a bad time.
I played my friend last night and he used Kisame's Awakening. I countered. It put me in lag and he continued his combo. His Awakening destroyed me, and I'd say I'm probably above the average skill level, so it's not because I'm bad at the game. Awakenings and Guard Breaks are OP and gay.

They're features in the game and you don't get to tell people not to use vital parts of the battle system. Otherwise all it becomes is combos and chakra dashes. And that's boring.

You can easily counter Kisame as most people use his combos. Also just play it defensive? Supports 1 by 1 as well as your own combos is more than enough time to fend them off until it runs out.

Also if supports and jutsu are OP and gay now then literally just grab. It won't work but it deflects them. You'd be surprised how many awakenings this works for if you grab is even slightly good.

I can tell people whatever I want. Don't tell me that I can't tell people what to do. That's hilariously hypocritical. And just because it's in the game doesn't mean it's not broken or stupid. OMA noob tubes were part of MW2, so you'd probably say it's completely ok and justifiable to use them, huh? No.

Have you fought against Kisame's Awakening? It's incredibly fast, strong, and can't be counterattacked. It's hard to get a combo started when he's in your face applying pressure all of the time. I couldn't do anything against it. Of course, that could just be because I'm a randy skrub, but I don't think so. I think it's just broken.

I never said that jutsu and supports are OP (dash cut is a little too good though). I'm saying that Awakening and Guard Breaks are OP, stupid, and broken. Not all awakenings, but a good portion of them.

Yes but awakenings aren't something the team overlooked that could be abused, they're a literal mechanic purposely put into the game.

Of course I have. There's also multiple ways to combat them which I think is why it's unreasonable to tell people they can't/shouldn't use them, 70% of the time the awakener is also making themselves hugely vulnerable. The truly terrifying awakenings are mid-scale ones such as Chiyo, Hanzo and Lee's. And even they can be stalled against.

There are harder things to combat than Awakenings IMO. I have that 3 step contingency that more than lasts the 30 seconds or so they have. But the point of them is to be a bit OP. That's why it's restricted to 30 seconds at a moment of desperation...like, that's kind of the point.
