TLDR: I'm not joking Vince RE Special Characters strengths. Embolden - Tournaments vs Club Nights context for Rage Quitting - great read here:

I'm not joking - Special characters for me are what gives the game bit of shine and takes it above others. I really like watching the Who Would Win between characters on MWG channel... maybe just me.
But if you compare Eldar's special characters to other codexs then they are so much better - regardless of whether you'd see them in competitive lists and it supports the idea that the Eldar codex is now far from balanced and further expands the gulf between the bottom tier codexs to this...
I am not arguing that there are other stronger units for more competitive/tournament lists.
As a sign off on rage quitting - I agree it is essentially rude to quit a game or not play the game if you don't like an opponent's list, and it does come down to communication.
However, it is context, if in a tournament - you have to expect the most competitive lists and there is no excuse. To flip that, on a Tuesday night - it's more of a friendly, try different things, have a laugh and learning context - where if you came down with 1+ WK's and the game was over in 3 turns.. what's the point in playing a game you know you will win - please read:
