Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Are you saying stall is harder to build than offense? With stall you need to answer things defensively with specific mons and their attributes. With offense you need to answer mons with mostly positioning as well which is arguably more difficult to take into account.
No mechanic is objectively broken or not broken. The mons that exist with the mechanics can be deemed broken or not. Even powerful or uncompetitive moves and abilities would not be broken on sufficiently weak Pokémon. ex Arena Trap is banned in SS OU but Arena Trap Dugtrio is legal and only C-...

We should be able to hear opposing points without assuming bad intentions. “Trap” questions are designed to trick you even if you have a good argument. answering no doesn’t fall into a trap. People shouldn’t be afraid of their argument undermined by simple questions, unless their argument is...
