"Better" is a fairly loaded worded. I'd say average characters are much safer/easier characters to play, for a variety of reasons, and that ease of play results in less skilled or experienced writers getting much better results instead of fumbling around with a more complex and extravagant character that would require more finesse to play to appropriate effect.
I simply enjoy rping with more "normal" characters than say characters who have purposely been made strange or outlandish for the purpose of standing out.
To me, playing someone whos average and having their personality and their humanity be the main draw is more of a challenge than coming up with interesting, but outlandish (potentially lore breaking) things to be the selling points. That's not to say that those characters with the outlandish origins or stories can't be amazing as well (or that I would ignore them - I don't ignore anyone), but again, normalcy its just my preference especially when it comes to characters that I create.
Knowledge seeks no man.
