Remember in the modern 3 team alliance structure if you do one thing and do it well there is a place for you. If you do nothing well people will forget your name very quickly. That doesn't have to be a WOW factor either. More like an ALRIGHT factor. I'll take reliable over WOW any day of the week.
There are some very wise words in the above post.

When we design, the 'WOW' factor never enters into the conversation. Everything is about 'Does it enchance our strategy?' and 'Is it reliable?'.

Everything else is not worthwhile. Championship teams are made because what they do, they do very well.
