At least at low levels. Every combat so far was absolutely carried by our parties fighter just beating the enemies into a pulp :)

It somewhat makes sense in universe though, if any guy who spends a few years in a magic school can best your guards/rookie soldiers without a sweat there would only be magic users!
Magic users in dnd are far from that powerful. Most dm though are not experienced enough to deal with it.
This is incorrect. The magic user kits are generally fine and if the mages just stick to damage spells they are probably mostly in line with other classes for damage (worse single target, better aoe). But there are a lot of spells that are fairly game breaking when you move outside of damaging ones.
They're not game breaking if you correctly read the rule and prepare a bit against them.
Needing to cover half the world in antimagic fields is a sign that it is, in fact, too strong.
Only an idiot needs anti-magic fields to fight magic.
