Before 5E landed Monks were one of my least favorite classes due to experience in AD&D, 3E and the whole kung fu vibe.
The 5E Monk might be one of the best designed classes in the game, I enjoyed playing it and one of my players who was perhaps even more reactionary than me rolled one up and enjoyed playing it.
This from a guy who usually just plays human fighters and Paladins, its rare to see him with a Dwarf and almost unheard of to play an Elf. IN 5E he broke and played a Monk and a High Elf battlemaster. his was also the same guy who abused Sharpshooter, GWM and Polearm Master back in 2014 when 5E landed. Myself I usually play whatever the pary needs so in 5E this means I have learned to like the cleric and bard.
Only took him 7 or 8 years to change his mind, damn flip- flopper. Took me 20 years to like the monk, still do not like the Kung Fu vibe but at least its not a crap class anymore.
