Some may even be literally useless - "lightly armoured" is useless to what, 9 out of 12 classes? 10 out of 12? If a Background has that, few will want it. If it has certain stats associated with it, something very close to 100% of PCs will not want it.Then you have Skills - if they Skills don't line up really well with the Feats and/or aren't general "adventuring skills" (and really, some aren't), people are not going to want that Background.But I guarantee certain classes will have a Background which has their primary stat, CON and/or DEX (or both!), two skills which work well for that class, and a Feat that works well for that class, and like 70-80% of people playing that class will thus pick that background. And it may be a hilariously inappropriate Background. We can already see Acolyte is a bad pick for virtually all Clerics and Druids, which is pretty funny.And far, far worse than Tasha's, which most people have been using for 5 years. So that's a nonsense comparison.Anyway, I'm going to be laughing when the real choices are here, and one of you guys defending them and claiming your players are god's perfect <s>himbos</s> non-min-maxers is like "Omg why does every Cleric always pick Guide and never Acolyte?! Why are players so dumb?!".</blockquote>
