Confused about balance and champion system

bugmom

I understand it is important to have balance in the game, especially for PVP, and I see ZOS working hard to achieve that. However, maybe I'm confused but doesn't the champion system introduce imbalance? I have a low level toon that I've been playing with some people new to game. Since I have a vet 14 character, my level 10 toon also got champin points. My friends who also have level 10 toons but are new to game did not get champion points since they have no vet toons. So my low level toon has perks that theirs do not and never will -- I will always be ahead even if we roll new toons together. Won't a toon with champion points always be stronger than one without even if their level is the same? How is that balanced?

Since you have char that is on same level as your friends and you have CP, please make comparison of how much stronger you actually are to them with that char.

Maybe comparison in basic stats hp, mana, stam. Regen numbers, weapon/spell damage numbers, crit numbers, armor and resist numbers.

I'm sure it will be insightful for many on this forums to see.

How many champion points have you got with your 10 lvl character ?. I got 70 cp with lvl 12 .

CP are not so much for balance, but more for having a long term progression system,
that rewards you for playing until the end of time.
