There are teams with all gods. And not to mention the Longinus possessors. Rias basically just lost a master magician, the best healer in the series, a girl with two of the strongest holy swords, and Issei. That was a huge hit. So she needed a couple of Longinus, Vasco Strada, and a god-class being to fill that gap. If you look at her team it's not really overpowered compared to everyone else's. Lint and Valerie have Longinus but don't have as much experience as the other Longinus possessors like Issei, Vali, Sairaorg, Dulio, Cao Cao, and Tobio. She has Vasco Strada but he only has the Durandal replica compared to Xenovia who has the real Durandal as well as the real Excalibur. Not saying he isn't OP but you think Xenovia hasn't gotten stronger since Volume 19? Her and the others are rapidly improving and training constantly. And Crom Cruach is OP but still he's only god-class being. A very powerful one of course. But still only one. Compared to the teams that are made up of gods like Team God Alliance. And then there's Surtr's team. And there's Indra's team. Now she does have an advantage over god-class teams but still Lint and Valerie are nowhere near the other Longinus possessors' level.
