Single tower too strong? What am I missing?

[Sloom]

I haven't been playing terribly long ( currently on NG+3), but it seems like I do best when I just push for a single tower, which is kinda boring. I have a few different openers, but it seems far too strong to just invest into one tower type. Getting stream lined banners is very strong, and pivoting or adding to your tower pool waters down your banner pick and pushes you away from utilizing upgrades you've already gone for. Also pivoting off of your first built tower and giving up the banner feels bad. If there was a way to reroll the first few banners you pick up later in the run, it would be nice.

Obviously there is a lot of utility from frost towers, weakness towers, etc. But in my experience that utility is beaten in by a sledgehammer by just continuing to build what you already have buffs for, and buffing what you've already built. The one exception is when you finallllly get to the mixed banner, but getting there is a slog (and maybe not always possible? the mechanic is unclear as I've done multiple runs with 2 tower types with the required amount of banners and I just never get offered a mixed banner).

That being said. my strongest finishes have my top towers doing 20kish dps, and others are doing tens of millions (although maybe this is starts from people who continued to endless?)... so maybe I'm just overlooking something. If I am it's not very apparent.

Personally I think that the thing really pushing single towers and not going for multiple is in the end limited banners.

A banner for my main prism tower will always be better than a banner for something else. So I just go prisms all the way.

My idea to fix it would be diminishing returns on banners. The more you pick a certain upgrade, the less power you get.

Or banner % caps, but thats too limiting imo.

Thats already how the game works. A 60% fire rate increase is amazing and a 60% increase in dps overall.

A 60% increase in fire rate already at 600% is only a 10% increase, its much more palatable to pick another tower once your dps increases from banners are only something like 20%ish. then a combo banner could increase your dps massivly.
