It’s a false-flag question (a term I’m admittedly using rather loosely), and one that will hurt the game. Not only are your mathematical calculations off, but in the end, what the two can do without feats doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is what completed builds will be able to do. In 5e, the rogue is already one of the weaker classes based on what you can make with it compared to what other classes can be used to make. Such heavy handed nerfs as those seen in One will render it worthless to anyone who cares about class balance. That is something nobody should want.A level 20 playtest rogue does a average of 38.17 Damage per round. ( not using any feats)
The 5e fighter using feats from the playtest can only beat that constantly By getting the Pole arm Master and great weapon fighter feats getting the fighter to a DPR of 40.83 at level 20.
So a question we can be asking is do we want a Rogue with no further investment do close to the same damage as a damage dealing focused fighter ?
