Here's what you do:

1. List a couple of people on Issei's side and only focus on them.

2. You entirely ignore Rias' side not even listing the advantages that her team has.

3. Say one team far outclasses the other.

First you use Issei and Ddraig. Again the power of an opponent isn't the only thing that matters or else Issei would have lost against Typhon and Diehauser wouldn't even have beaten the god teams.

Next you use Xenovia having Avalon. But while it's very powerful, can you prove it can't be countered. There are cases of abilities in this series being countered or cancelled out. In Volume 16, Gasper negated the effects of Sephiroth Graal and cancelled out Marius' immortality. In Volume 20(or was it 19), Diehauser made Ravel's regeneration 'worthless.' In Volume 10, Sairaorg's bishop cancelled out Xenovia's ability to wield a holy sword. So while Avalon makes her invulnerable to damage from attacks, it is possible for it to be countered.

That's what you did. You try to use Ravel being a better tactician but Rias and Ravel use different kinds of tactics. Rias lost to Vali but that doesn't mean her tactics failed. And you use Rias losing the only major match she had in the preliminaries. And then compare it to Issei winning 3 of the 4 major matches he had in the preliminaries. That really can't be compared. Issei had most of the main focus and it would be more natural for Issei to get more major matches.

Again you constantly use a couple of factors and one side and ignore everything else. I really can't take your assessment of Issei's team outclassing Rias' seriously.

Assess BOTH teams and discuss all of their advantages and disadvantages and explain why they would win. Instead of using a couple of points on only one side and using it to entirely turn the entire match in Issei's favor.
