They are vastly different skill sets (with some overlap) (Destiny)

because seeing what kinds of problems are caused by the changes at that skill level is very different than seeing the problems at lower skill levels.
You almost can't look at low skill levels when determining balance, because at low skill levels essentially everything is overpowered.
Overpowered is only in relation to two equal skills levels. Something could be considered overpowered to two low skill leveled players but not to two high level skilled players.
But that's not really a problem? If thw solution to something seemingly overpowered is to learn a counter or alternate strategy, then the developer needs to do nothing.
Are you saying that if a weapon is OP when two newbs are playing with it that it's not a problem? OP is OP regardless of skill level and should be addressed.
I guess all basketball hoops should be 4 feet high then.
