Because every team needs a wizard. In any kind of game that allows you to use more then one character on a quest, the wizard is normally the weak character that everyone has to protect, but has some kind of power that proves incredibly useful for some reason. Even if Piper isn't a straight up fighter, her Charmspeak has saved their lives a few times and acts as a counter for those that do have it. Sure you can say that she is useless, but the group never would have made it to Hera in the first book without her (Medea would have killed them, or they would have failed to free Hera). All I'm saying is that even if you don't like Piper, that doesn't mean she is useless; power comes in many forms.
