I've read your post and I'm still a bit fuzzy on what you're asking. What are common classes played by people? And the reasons people play them based on opinions of strength/power? It appears to be the point of your post. If your thesis is that "uber builds" keep people from evolving into good players, please take the time to phrase it a bit better. Since your post so far leads me to ask...
So whats you're point about "born noobs"? I'll try to keep this short and simple: The lurkerlounge accepts and encourages people to play however they want to play. Sure, many people choose to do variants, or "harder" and "less popular" builds. But there are people here who are casual gamers, who play a few times a week and enjoy "uber builds" or what you seem to player "noob characters."
I realize the term "noob" has morphed from the original meaning: a new player. And since you're carrying a negative connotation with it, trying to generalize everyone who plays a popular build as a "noob" isn't going to make any friends here. So far you've demonstrated a failure to understand your audience, the first step towards making a flame war, regardless of how many "this is not a flame war" warnings you make.
Hopefully this post is helpful,
Cheers,
