I guess I distinguish between cheating and bad design. For me, cheating is the Geth's obdurate refusal to observe game mechanics.
Power bubbles? Moronic, but consistent (especially when everything from Warp to Frag Grenade counts as a power). Seeker Swarms and Plagues? Of all deliberate design decisions in this game, they are most deserving of a shattered ethmoid bone.
Bioware has a long-standing tradition of making power-based games and then rendering powers useless in important fights.
Anatomy study is clearly more useful than I thought, given the precision you have displayed in the insult above. Respect.
