Single ability that makes up the majority of a classes damage, with excellent burst and basically spammed? Just seems odd is all

Blizzard has a design philosophy that doesn’t involved the bottom line?

I mean you joke, but they do have some standards. Condemn just seems like a weird outlier they missed?
It’s an outlier for your covenant ability to not be an outlier in this expansion. 
I always envision Blizzard as the conference room meme. The one guy pitches an idea that sounds interesting for PvE and the other guy is like “This pretty much breaks PvP” then they just throw him out the window.

Dude, Final/Templar’s Verdict is basically the exact same thing.
If they had a game philosophy, they stopped caring a while ago.
It’s so much fun tho. You forget you don’t constantly have enough rage to just spam it. You get procs that let you push it at any time with a talent but for the most part there’s only about 50% of the time you can even possibly use it and outta that 50% you’ll have the Rage about 20-25% of the time unless you’re facing a team putting 0 pressure on you and you aren’t having to spend rage on ignore pain. Spoiler alert…you usually need to press it.
So yes it seems spammy and it kinda is but it’s not like people are just running around pushing 1 button over and over at warp speed like this is test your might from original PS1 Mortal Kombat.
I will say that I have 6 level 60s and 5 level 50+ toons (everything high level except Hunter) and Warrior is probably tied with the easiest rotation with Demon Hunter. But veng DH battlegrounds are so much fun I don’t even care if I only have to press 6 buttons total

Rather be Condemn spammed 8 days a week than deal with Ret or Mage burst in a single game.
Condemn does damage, and applies pressure… but it’s never enough alone to be lethal damage from just the warrior. Mage or Ret’s zeroing you off the map through defensives with no healer setup makes me grumpy.
Like rogue doesn’t do the exact same thing with insane burst. Give me a break.
Been killed by alot of level 53 rogues?
No but if you aren’t melting people as a rogue you doing it wrong.
Well there’s also Divine Toll, Final Verdict, Convoke, Fire Mage Burst, Rogue’s Opener, The Hunt.
This is just how the season is. Later seasons will get easier and more manageable as secondary stat scaling gets higher compared to primaries.
That’s my hope. Seems almost every class is just stacking haste to get their base abilities off faster.
