Was it really that new of a subsystem though? I mean, it's basically superiority dice with a twist. It really looks like even the smallest deviation from the norm is seen as too much by the majority.

Oh, I am up for trying new stuff, heck I even like the idea of getting a full Psion class, I just didn't like the psi dice mechanic.

Sure, I agree with most of that, but you also aren't limited to only tripping opponents only five times before you need to rest.
I've studied various martial arts and even completed when I was younger (in my late 20's). Fighting IS exhausting, but I also know that I could try a take down when the chance came. Anyway, that was why I had my at will BM write-up utilize bonus actions, reactions, and even an attack.
But I don't want to thread-jack, so I'll leave it at that. We both agree fatigue should be represented somehow, I just don't think limiting as a resource is the way to go.

I mean, we aren't looking at a Psionic Class anytime soon, just Subclasses.
alas, that is true. Hence my owning two systems from other companies. Not that I get to use them, since I am running one group of new players and no way they can/will try that. And in the game I'm in we are playtesting some other stuff.....Oh well. Someday.

If they had one class (Psion) with 4-6 subclasses, and one of them used the die like BM's do with Fighters, I think that would be a good compromise. For people who don't want the die, you have options, and for people who do, you have a subclass or maybe two that use it.

It may be that between "I don't want psionics" people, "I don't want to have to learn a new mechanic for something that doesn't interest me" people, "I love psionics but they need to be X way not Y way" people, and "where's my mystic!" people there is never going to be an overall positive response to any psionics system proposed.
I thought a minor unified mechanic between several subclasses was about the least invasive way they could have psionics feel like anything beyond some subclass flavor, and that the dice idea was a fairly elegant and modest approach to this.

I really wish I could disagree with you, but I can't.
