D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

When the company dumps a version of a game, and does its best to distance themselves from it, I have to conclude your definition of "success" and theirs is not the same.
If that is the criterion, then every edition except 5e has been a failure. Every edition of D&D other than the current one has been "dumped" as you put it, and 5e will retroactively become a failure when the anniversary edition comes out. Rather suggests that your methodology is flawed, no?

And if we just consider the editions put out by WotC ("the company" in this case) then 4e lasted the longest before being "dumped" until 5e overtook it.

Wouldn't essentials count as a half edition? Not that I think along these dump lines theory.

No. Next question?

To expand slightly: Essentials is 4e. It is fully compatible withe 4e products that came before it, and the 4e products that came after it (and they with it). Not a new edition by any reasonable definition.

I mean, so was 3-3.5-PF1.
 


Yes, but 3.0 to 3.5 had some notable rules changes (Pathfinder even more so). The rules of 4e didn't change for Essentials, it was just a different philosophy for how to use those rules to create new versions of classes.
