The other thing to consider is that the equalists are very focused in their agenda. All their time, energy, and resources are being dedicated to fighting benders, while benders in general are not dedicating nearly as much effort to fighting non-benders. So it makes sense that the equalists start off with the upper hand; they are on the offensive, the ball is in their court, and they are the ones dictating the pace. Their tech is specifically created for countering benders, their combat style is specifically made to counter benders. This all conspires to make equalists a very major threat, at least to start.

Once the equalists start their revolution, benders will begin to take it seriously and will begin to start thinkng of ways that they can counter the equalists counter-bending abilities and tech. The scales will swing back in favor of the benders as the series progresses most likely, especially as the Krew gains more experience with dealing with chi-blocking and anti-bender tech.
