Sure, they hit hard and can overwhelm you if you aren't paying attention and aren't ready for them.
If they're beating you, you can flee/quaff. If they're tripping you, you can fly. If they're bashing, you can enlarge/reduce. If they hit too hard, you can prep. If all else fails, you can quaff and avoid the fight entirely.
They can do literally none of those things. They rely on hitting hard and fast. If you find a way to get an advantage, they're usually easy kills, due to the fact that they have zero mobility and very little survivability (assuming no defender nearby).
Seriously, play one sometime. That's what I did (I made it to about 40ish before getting frustrated and deleting). Then you'll never complain about them again.
