if the bending arts are made to be balanced, then the firebenders would horribly suck. fire isnt an element commonly existing in nature like people before me have already said and it cant be carried with you. what you're gonna go walking around with a torch fired up in case you got attacked? you cant put fire in a bag O.O also if they had to go around with a lighter and anything flammable, then that would give them immediate disadvantage because while you're turning it up an earthbender can break your head with a rock, a water bender can cut you in pieces with either water or ice and an air bende would be able to do whatever it is that airbenders do to beath the crap out of people fast. and the difference in how common an element is, is REALLY BIG i mean, air: out of question, earth: out of question, water: easily carried without air then both fighters would die in minutes without earth then they would either have nowhere to be, or be in a place that has already been made so that earthbenders cant fight, which can actually be done to any element (except air) and water can be carried in a bag so there, as long as the idea is to have them balanced out, no it doesnt make any sense AT ALL
