Okay I just thought about this.
Prismatic Spray is not an automatic hit spell like Burning Hands. It is more closely related to Cone of Cold. The only reason why Cone of Cold hits all the time (so long as you aim it well of course) is because there is only 1 game effect, that is to deal cold damage. Prismatic Spray has 6 different effects, each with a 14% chance of hitting a target. With a 14% chance it is possible that a creature could avoid most or all of the effects, and/or make successful saving throws against hits, making the spell effectively useless.
I'm not saying the spell is useless because I like it, but it CAN be useless.
